HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Usher is back on top of the music charts thanks to his new album Raymond v Raymond, which bowed at No. 1 this week on the Billboard 200.
The R&B star knocked Justin Bieber's My World 2.0 out of the top slot, selling 329,000 copies in its first week, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
The album marks Usher's third straight No. 1 debut on the Billboard 200, following 2008's Here I Stand and 2004's Confessions.
Raymond v Raymond, the sixth studio album for the Atlanta-based singer, features four chart-topping singles — "Hey Daddy (Daddy's Home)," featuring Plies, "Lil Freak," a duet with Nicki Minaj, "There Goes My Baby," and "OMG," featuring will.i.am. So which one is Usher's favorite?
"They're all my babies," the five-time Grammy winner told Robin Roberts last week on ABC's Good Morning America. "I don't have a favorite cut. I wish I did. You know, the entire album is a package."
