Usher continues to score touchdowns after his seismic Super Bowl Halftime Show.

Because the superstar’s long-awaited new album ‘Coming Home’ has nabbed a championship of its own.

Full story below…

Ushered in by R&B hit ‘Good Good’ featuring Summer Walker and 21 Savage, the 20-song set serves as the R&B royal’s 9th studio effort and his first in eight years.

Released just two days before the performer took to the stage at the Big Game in Nevada, the synchronization between the LP’s landing and the performance the world was waiting for set a solid foundation in place.

Now, with the final numbers tallied, the momentum has helped ‘Coming Home’ premiere at #2 on the US’ Billboard 200.

It pulled off the feat with first-week sales of:

91,000 Units

[Of the sum, pure sales totalled 53,000, while streaming based units hit 34,500 – from 45.82 million official on-demand streams of the album’s songs.)

With the feat, the 8x GRAMMY winner scores his biggest first-week sales in over a decade. For, it almost triples the 38,000 start of his previous LP, 2016’s ‘Hard II Love.’

Furthermore, and in another major achievement, ‘Coming Home’ serves as Usher’s first independent release, arriving on his own label Mega (in partnership with Gamma).

The news comes on the heels it being announced that Usher’s Super Bowl Halftime Show (and the broadcast more broadly) now stands as the most-watched TV program… ever.
