Like his previous eight albums, we’re hoping that Coming Home is filled with hits. We also hope that Usher decides to perform our bangers this Sunday during his Super Bowl halftime performance. In lieu of his tour announcement, album release and looming Super Bowl performance, we thought it would be a good time to highlight the 45 year-old’s outstanding catalog. Check out a gallery of all of Usher’s Top 10 Billboard hits!
