Usher has reached a new milestone on Billboard.
The R&B icon has earned his 10th No. 1 on the Adult R&B Airplay chart with his feature on Victoria Monét‘s “SOS (Sex on Sight).”
The Camper-produced smooth jam ends emerging R&B group Psiryn‘s two-week lead with their debut single “Sober.”
With his new No. 1, Usher now ties Charlie Wilson for the most chart-toppers among male artists. The latter singer achieved his 10th No. 1 in May 2024 with his triumphant track “Superman.”
Overall, Usher and Wilson trail have the third-most No. 1s behind Alicia Keys (14) and Toni Braxton (11). Meanwhile, Mary J. Blige, Maxwell and Tank are trailing Usher and Wilson with nine No. 1s.
