Beyond the 35 million albums Usher has sold worldwide since the
release of his 1993 self-titled debut, the five Grammy Awards,
NAACP Image Awards, the countless other accolades (from Billboard,
MTV, Soul Train, BET, People's Choice, Vibe and ASCAP), box office
records for his worldwide tours and on Broadway (during his 2006
performances as Billy Flynn in the hit musical "Chicago"), the
cumulative 100 million dollar grosses for the films in which he's
starred and his recognition as a bona fide global superstar (with
gold and platinum albums in over fifteen countries), Usher Raymond
has achieved what few other contemporary entertainers have ever
accomplished: still under thirty years of age, he has created a
network of thriving, successful enterprises that express his
leadership in business and as a humanitarian. "It's been quite a journey," he says of the last three years since the release of his
mega-platinum "Confessions" album. "I've been transforming my first
passion - music - into the areas of business and community
contribution and I'm committed to be successful in all that I put
time and effort into "
Building on the five multi-platinum albums - "Usher," "My Way," "Usher Live," "8701" and "Confessions" (issued in its original form in 2004 and six months later with four bonus tracks) - along with eight million sales for DVDs (2005's "Truth Tour Live: Behind The Truth" and "Evolution 8701 Live In Concert" combined) and No. 1 across-the-board singles including "Nice And Slow," "U Remind Me," "U Got It Bad," "Yeah," "Burn" and "My Boo," Usher's accomplishments are, frankly, staggering. His chart accomplishments as a recording artist include being the only artist in history to top the Billboard charts for more than half the year, ousting the legendary Elvis Presley in that spot; cementing the record for the longest time spent of any artist at No. 1 on a Billboard pop singles chart since their introduction in 1940; becoming the third artist - alongside The Beatles and the Bee Gees - to have three Top 10 singles at the same time on the Billboard Hot 100; and being the very first artist in history to officially, per the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), certify gold for digital sales of "Burn" and "Yeah".
