USHER FOLLOWS SUPER BOWL BOUNCE WITH A "KISS"

There's no Super Bowl hangover for mega/gamma. superstar USHER. The halftime headliner, who saw his streams and sales surge following the big game, is taking his hot hand to Pop radio next week with "Kissing Strangers."

USHER's new Top 40 single follows the success of August's "Good Good" f/21 Savage & Summer Walker, which peaked at #11, led by Lionel Ridenour and Team mega/gamma.


Usher, Ridenour, Seviour

Meanwhile, USHER's catalog continues to earn major streams; "Yeah!" f/Lil Jon & Ludacris is still in the Top 50 at Apple Music, and last week USHER was the biggest gainer on Spotify's artist chart, soaring 111 spots to #27 worldwide.

Of course there's also the gigundo Past Present Future Tour, which just added a handful of European dates to 60 sold-out North American shows.

With all things USHER reaching new heights, we're just hoping marketing guru Scott Seviour didn't miss our request for a few pairs of SKIMS.
