Usher doesn't really feel 'present' this era, does he? It's like everything went downhill after 'Climax'.

And i think Euphoria should've been the 1st Pop single instead of Scream. It'll underperform now cause that type of EDM already sounds dated.
He should've let Climax crossover first. It had potential.

These.
Y'know, "Climax" was even begin to climb on pop radios, too. I think it ended up peaking in the top 40 shortly after its adds date. Overall, it peaked at #17 on Hot 100, so it was definitely destined to be a crossover smash. smh.
I know nobody likes the song, but I think Can't Stop Won't Stop has the best chance of any of Usher's remaining album tracks to be a crossover hit tbh. The title track also has a chance too.
I think Lemme See could've done good on pop if it was given a chance. It's extremely catchy, and has loads of synths in it.

Pop radio unfortunately would never give that song a chance because they don't use Rick Ross at all.
When Usher abandoned Climax, he threw the era away right then and there.

I agree.
Climax could've definitely crossed over. I mean, didn't it go Top 2 in the UK? But he didn't bother.

Fortune was the worst. Chris had so much momentum after the FAME era + the Grammy love, but nooo. He put out the worst singles of his career.
I know she has an American Express commercial but that has been here for weeks. She hasn't performed it in the U.S since the VMAs. The video effect would have wore off by now. WHAT HAPPENED

DWMU is smashing though and Don't Judge Me is a great song that could easily smash Agreed though Climax got top 3 in the UK which for that type of song here is some achievement and would have smashed in the US as well.
Don't Judge Me is top 40 on UK iTunes (with hardly any radio airplay, and no promo (Chris isn't allowed in the country lol)).
They're never going to push that song on pop radio though... Plus, by the time Don't Wake Me Up dies, Don't Judge Me will be gone too. At that point, the most logical thing to do would be send Bassline to everywhere, and he can finally get a big hit.
Would Bassline smash on Top 40??? It has a very 'urban' sound that Top 40 may not be able to accept yet. They're still very black and white (not literally) about what type of urban songs can be played on the format. It's quite sad
