Looks like Usher is still able to show Justin Bieber who’s the boss. After selling 329,000 copies of Raymond v. Raymond album, Usher has bumped his teenage protege Justin Bieber off the top of the album chart this week. But despite the fact that Bieber’s stay at #1 with My World 2.0 was a short one, the expert hair-flipper still managed to increase sales of the record by three percent over the past week, the trade publication reports.
Billboard notes that Usher’s latest single “OMG” will “make a handsome debut” on the Hot 100, probably thanks to his live performance of the song on last week’s American Idol results show.
Meanwhile, Justin Bieber’s My World 2.0 sold 283,000 in its initial week of release, but ended up moving 291,000 over the past seven days.
