00:00 Nobody does it like Usher.
00:02 Throughout his 30-year career, Usher has danced his way onto the big stage at the Super Bowl halftime show.
00:10 But it's his chart success that really showcases his amazing career.
00:14 This is Billboard Explains, Usher's lasting mark on the charts.
00:18 Usher knows his way around the Hot 100.
00:21 In fact, he has nine number one hits on the chart,
00:24 tied with Elton John and Paul McCartney for the fourth most among solo male artists,
00:29 behind Drake, Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder.
00:32 He has 18 top 10 hits and his 2004 smash "Yeah" featuring Lil Jon and Ludacris topped the Hot 100 for 12 weeks
00:41 and was named the Hot 100's second biggest hit of the decade.
00:45 Usher replaced himself at number one on the Hot 100 twice in 2004.
00:54 "Yeah" gave way to "Burn" in May, while "Burn" later moved aside for "Confessions Part 2" in July.
01:00 Also in 2004, Usher set a record of 28 weeks at number one that year,
01:09 which would last for 14 years until Drake took the record in 2018.
01:14 He has four number one albums on the Billboard 200, including "Confessions,"
01:18 which sold over 1 million copies in its first week.
01:21 "I can't figure it out why I'm so..."
01:25 And he's had the third most weeks at number one by any artist on the Hot R&B and Hip-Hop Songs chart
01:31 and the second most number one hits on the R&B/Hip-Hop/Airplay chart.
01:36 We can't wait to watch Usher sing his Billboard hits at this year's Super Bowl.
