I honestly think this would have been a career high mark hit for him if released during his early 2010s eras. One of his biggest chart hits ever. As it stands, I just don’t know if it’s possible for an Usher song to smash in 2024 sadly. His decade music hiatus hurts him even more than being over 40 I think. That said, it would be kind of shocking if the wildly less CHR friendly Good Good ended up out-peaking this on the format, but maybe the advantages of being a “comeback” single…

He clearly doesn't want to promote this, since he hasn't done basically anything to promote this era since the Super Bowl. He probably just wanted to release new music for the fans and then go on about his business with his wife and family. |

That’s sad to hear. His legacy deserves way more and I want him to commit to this era. This era is doing better than his last. I can’t wait for another 8 years till he drops another album.
I really hope he has a video lined up for this song? Could he be rereleasing the album with brand new singles I. E good good to expand this era?
Reminds me when Usher released Dj Got us falling in Love to expand the RVR era. With a rerelease

Not really sure what it would do for this unless he managed to hit on something viral with a video or something. |

It looks like it will reach top 25 by tomorrow? Which songs are likely to be purged tomorrow? It's #26 currently on this chart? Will AC, Hot AC start adding this song and could it cross over to Rhythmic radio?

Will this song be pushed to Rhythmic right now? It has so much potential to be a hit on other formats too? |

Glad Usher's getting these adds constantly and this song is rising. I hope he will release a music video soon. This song has so much potential.
The tour for Usher is going to be a legendary one for him. Hopefully fans and a new generation of fans will love the new songs from this album, not just only pay attention to his hit songs and old school tracks. He's not a nostalgia act. He deserves all his awards, flowers, medals for this album and more lifetime achievement awards.

This song deserves to get a Rhythmic, urban/R&B, hot AC and AC release. This song has so much potential to be massive. It's a global smash.

Hope we get a music video from him soon.
If this song doesn't work out, I hope we still get singles from this era. The last couple of updates have been discouraging. I don't want to see this era fade like Hard to love.
future singles prediction: Stone Kold Freak, A-town Girl, Please U, I love u or coming Home Ft. Burna Boy.
I hope there is another re-release to this era since he is going to be touring for a long time to support this era.

Deserves so much better right now. Same with Ruin. This deserves to be top 15 on pop radio right now. I feel like the competition of many song releases from last Friday affected the performance of this amazing track.

It almost seems like they weren't expecting this to do anything at all anyway. It's gonna be one of those cases where here I am years later thinking of what could've been, ala Ciara's "Overdose" or Mariah's "Side Effects". |

^ It's a shame. I know what you mean. Hope this song makes a comeback soon.
And in addition, Usher's Ruin ft. Pheelz also didn't get enough promo either since it also has crossover potential. Ruin should also be top 5 on urban/R&B and Rhythmic right now. It's doing fine on urban but it deserves so much better too.
Do you feel Usher could have promoted Ruin and Kissing Strangers some more?

Personally I like 'Strangers' more, but Ruin does seem like it has a lot of crossover potential. It's really perfect for going into the early summer. I hope they decide to make a push for it to pop too.

I hope they decide to make a push for it to pop too. That's very true. And hope Ruin keeps rising. Same with Kissing strangers. Ruin could reach within top 15-20 on pop easily. It took a while for me to understand how great this song is compared to Usher's other songs b/c it sounds different. I wish though there was a young R&B female singer to this song I.e (Sza, Muni Long, Tyla) to complete this track and Pheelz line was 1 minute instead of 10 seconds since he's the producer behind this cool track. |
