Alicia was such a terrible person for the Tidal press conference though. The whole thing was so cringeworthy from every single individual on that stage (other than fashion model Rih, only there to collect her paycheck then bounce).
Alicia is a homewrecker as well. Mess at y'all trying it.
Most of the people stanning for Ascreecha right now also stan Rihanna who has unsuccessfully tried to wreck Beyoncé and Jay's marriage for ages. They don't mind stanning for a homewrecker.
Lol, she didn't 'slay Usher' after Confessions. As I Am was bigger than Here I Stand, but as far as after that.
Raymond vs. Raymond spawned a #1 hit and went Platinum. Element of Freedom went Platinum but didn't spawn 1 Top 20 hit.
Looking 4 Myself spawned a T10 hit, Climax in T20, and went Gold. Girl on Fire spawned 1 #11 single, no other charting singles, and went Gold.
His current era has 'I Don't Mind' which will definitely be bigger than anything Alicia is releasing next era. She could obviously outsell his upcoming album, but that's because it was pushed back so long. It's been pretty close since 2009, and even then My Way, 8701, and Confessions >>> Alicia's debut, The Diary, and As I Am.
As I Am sold more than all Usher albums since Confessions
GoF sold more than Looking 4 Myself domestically and worldwide
