Usher’s ‘Looking 4 Myself’ Becomes Fourth Consecutive Chart-Topping Album

Usher follows up his #1 2010 album Raymond v Raymond with yet another chart-topper, as Looking 4 Myself becomes the R&B/pop crooner’s fourth consecutive LP to wind up in the peak position on the Billboard Top 200. Still, the record, which contains the singles “Climax” and “Scream”, posts far lower first-week sales (128,000) than Raymond did (329,000). Of all Usher’s seven studio albums, only his first, self-titled one didn’t land in the Top 5 on the main album chart. (It peaked at #167.)

The week’s other debuts come from Canadian rockers Rush, whose 20th album Clockwork Angels (103,000) goes in at at #2, country crooner Josh Turner, who sees Punching Bag (45,000) enter at #4, British singer Ed Sheeran‘s + (42,000), which starts at #5 and Waka Flocka Flame‘s Triple F Life (33,000), which rounds things out at #10.
