According to Rap-Up:

If you’re looking for Usher, you can find him at the top of the charts. The R&B singer returned to familiar territory this week with his latest album Looking 4 Myself, which enters at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

Usher’s seventh album sold 128,000 copies in its first week, according to Nielsen SoundScan. It becomes his fourth consecutive No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 following 2010’s Raymond v. Raymond, which moved 329,000 units in its opening week. However, it is also his lowest first-week sales for a regular studio album since 1997’s My Way (67,000).

The lead single “Climax” spends its ninth straight week at No. 1 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, while his latest single “Scream” holds the No. 7 spot on the Digital Songs chart.

Looking 4 Myself is not only a hit in the U.S., but worldwide. It tops the iTunes charts in nine other countries including the U.K., Germany, Japan, and the Netherlands.
