Listen to a snippet of Usher's 'Scream' below:
It's #1 on the R&B charts Billboard and iTunes. It's actually doing really good for a track that is so different than what is out and not being POP.

Sounds just like 'DJ Got Us Fallin' in Love' - so I'm anything but impressed. Saying that, as of the midweek update, 'Climax' has fallen 04-12-21, so it seems the UK (nor the US) have taken to the 'new' Usher sounds - so perhaps he is better off staying as a dance/pop artist.

It's a nice dance track, not as creative or different as Climax. I wish he would have waited to drop a dance track until like maybe the 3rd single.
