5/30: Usher visits GMA

I’m in New York City today visiting friends and family and I decided to check out Usher at Bryant Park for “Good Morning America.” Here are some shots I took from the event this morning. He sang four songs, including his next single “Moving Mountains,” his latest hit “Love in This Club” and his seminal song “Yeah!” An enthusiastic early crowd of at least 1,500 fans showed up, a few with Braves caps on. With Sam Champion, Usher endorsed Obama with an enthusiastic “yeah!”

His latest CD “Here I Stand” is tracking to sell 435,000 to 450,000 copies, based on first-day sales, according to hitsdailydouble.. That would fall just shy of Mariah Carey’s opening week earlier this year.

Radio (including Star 94, Q100, Hot 107.9, the Beat and V-103) gave “Love in This Club” solid airplay and the mid-tempo song (featuring Young Jeezy) peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 a few weeks back.
