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 have the third-most No. 1s, as well as Mary J. Blige, behind Alicia Keys (14) and Toni Braxton (11). Meanwhile, Maxwell and Tank are trailing Usher, Wilson and Blige with nine No. 1s.
