I'm putting my foot down on his, for this song is ****ing rank ****. Which sounds like a Dave Chappell sketch. Can he come back and make that funny again rather than make me think Ussah is really gonna **** a "girl" in a club?
Yay, more lazy and bad #1 songs in all the lands. I hate Billboard.

"Love in This Club" is a mid-tempo song with brassy bass line.[5] The song features guest vocals from Young Jeezy. According to da Don, the lyrics are not about sex; its about having the urge. Da Don called the concept "Lust at first sight".[4]
And another thing what's wrong with songs being about sex. It dates all the way back to The Beatles, they have written songs about sex. I think a song about sex deserves to hit #1 if it's good and it doesn't disrespect women using words such as bitches or hoes and this song clearly does not use that type of language. So yeah I don't see anything wrong with songs about sex usually some people that don't like songs about sex usually means they ain't getting any

Usher: LITC Gets 3rd Biggest Jump To #1 Ever + Chart Update
Quote:
'CLUB' PLAY
March 06, 2008,
Fred Bronson
Adding sales to airplay can be like adding Mentos to Diet Coke. The resulting explosion has carried "Love in This Club" (LaFace) by Usher featuring Young Jeezy from 51-1 on The Billboard Hot 100. That's the third biggest jump to No. 1 in the almost 50-year history of the chart. The three biggest jumps are:
64-1: "Makes Me Wonder," Maroon 5 (May 5, 2007)
52-1: "A Moment Like This," Kelly Clarkson (Oct. 5, 2002)
51-1: "Love in This Club," Usher featuring Young Jeezy (March 15, 2008)
"Love in This Club" is the eighth No. 1 for Usher and the fastest-rising song of his career. "Club" reaches the top of the chart in its third week. Here's how that meteoric rise compares to Usher's seven other No. 1 hits:
"Nice & Slow," four weeks to reach No. 1 (1998)
"U Remind Me," four weeks to reach No. 1 (2001)
"U Got It Bad," 13 weeks to reach No. 1 (2001)
"Yeah!," eight weeks to reach No. 1 (2004) [Usher featuring Lil John and Ludacris]
"Burn," 11 weeks to reach No. 1 (2004)
"Confessions Part II," 13 weeks to reach No. 1 (2004)
"My Boo," eight weeks to reach No. 1 (2004) [Usher and Alicia Keys]
"Club" is the first No. 1 for Young Jeezy. His highest-ranked song on the Hot 100 until this week was "Soul Survivor," a No. 4 hit in 2005 that featured Akon. The Southern rapper has had eight chart entries, five of which featured him as the lead singer.

Usher's Newest Single Dominates U.S. Charts: Superstar's Smash Hit 'Love In This Club' Skyrockets From #51* to #1* on Billboard's Pop Singles Chart and is the Best-Selling Digital Song in the Country
Wednesday March 5, 10:44 am ET
Fifth Studio Album Titled 'Here I Stand' Scheduled for Worldwide Release in June '08
NEW YORK, March 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Fans of LaFace/Zomba recording artist Usher are embracing the multi-talented superstar's newest song, "Love In This Club." It is the No. 1 song in the country making an astonishing leap from #51* to the No. 1* position on Billboard's "Hot 100 Singles" chart. "Love In This Club" also claims the No. 1 spot on SoundScan's digital tracks and iTunes tracks charts during the first week of its release. This accomplishment marks Usher's eighth No. 1 single in the United States.
"Love In This Club," featuring Young Jeezy, co-written by Usher and produced by Polow Da Don is also being well-received by music critics; Entertainment Weekly calls it a "Must" listen, proclaiming that Usher "returns with his magnetic club groove."
"Love In This Club" is the first single from his eagerly-awaited fifth studio album titled Here I Stand, slated for worldwide release this June. Here I Stand is Usher's follow-up to his history-making, 9x platinum-selling Confessions. Within the first week of the release of Confessions, Usher sold more than any other R&B artist in the history of SoundScan. The album spawned four #1 hit singles and Usher spent 40 weeks in the No. 1 position on The Billboard Hot 100 -- which is more than any other male artist in the nearly 50 year history of the chart. The multi-talented, five-time Grammy-winner, musician and actor has sold nearly 14 million copies of Confessions worldwide and it earned a multitude of honors including MTV, BET, and People's Choice awards.
Over the span of his 14-year career, Usher has sold close to 26 million albums worldwide and combining all of his single, album and DVD sales, he's sold in excess of 36 million units globally. With four studio albums, the eponymous first release, Usher (1994) and multi-platinum albums, the 6x-platinum My Way (1997),the 4x-platinum 8701 (2001), and the 9x-platinum Confessions (2004) and one gold-certified live album simply titled Live (1999), and a string of #1 hit singles including "U Remind Me," "U Got It Bad," "Yeah," "Burn," and "My Boo" Usher's return to the top of the charts is inevitable. The Tennessee-born, Atlanta raised performer, songwriter, producer, dancer, actor started his multi-faceted career at the age of 15-years old.
Usher Raymond IV has achieved what few other contemporary entertainers have ever accomplished. He most recently launched a successful line of signature fragrances, actively heads up his own charity, New Look Foundation, a camp for teens that teaches them about the entertainment business, and he is part owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers basketball team.
He is currently gearing up to promote his forthcoming album.

The song is crap -- just like 90% of the songs that usually hit the number one. Mariah will rescue us on March 19th.
