NEW USHER ALBUM, 'HERE I STAND' TO BE RELEASED IN JUNE 2008; 1st SINGLE, 'LOVE IN THIS CLUB' GRABS #1 SPOT ON BILLBOARD CHARTS.

All of you Usher fans should bow down and be utterly thankful to that old walking negro spiritual he calls a wife (yeah, I said it) for finally giving him her permission to return to the studio to complete the follow-up to his history-making, 9x platinum-selling 2004 release Confessions which crowned Usher as the only R&B artist in Soundscan music history to sale more than 1 million copies in its first week. Usher spent 40 weeks in the No. 1 position on The Billboard Hot 100– which is more than any other male artist in the nearly 50 year history of the chart.

According to Usher's label, Laface/Zomba, the singer's fifth studio album titled Here I Stand (oh, and for those of you who don't know, Here I Stand is also the title of the song Usher wrote and performed for his bride at their second trip to the altar), is slated to be released worldwide this June. The album's first single, Love In This Club is dominating the music charts and making history as well. Soaring from #51 to #1 on Billboard's Pop Singles Chart, the song, which features rapper Young Jeezy and co-written by Usher, has become the best-selling digital song in the country. Entertainment Weekly calls it a 'must' listen, proclaiming that Usher "returns with his magnetic club groove."

The singer is now in the process of promoting his and Tameka's forthcoming album. Yeah, I said that too!

LISTEN TO LOVE IN THIS CLUB.
