Usher songs -- revealing heartache, first love, and yes, confessions -- have been playing on the airwaves and topping the charts since the star released his 1994 self-titled debut at age 15. Today he's one of the most well-known R&B artists, selling over 40 million albums internationally and earning five Grammy Awards. Whether he croons about being there for a woman, courting a woman, or even cheating on a woman, Usher is the R&B singer of relationships. As rated by AOL radio listeners, here are the Top 10 Usher Songs.
10) 'You Make Me Wanna'
The song is about a man in a troubled relationship, who confines in another woman and ends up wanting her. So typical, no wonder it spent 71 weeks on the Hot R&B charts. The song earned a Grammy nomination for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance.
9) 'U Remind Me'
If looks could kill, it could kill a relationship. 'U Remind Me' tells the tale of a man who likes a woman, but won't get serious with her because she looks too much like one of his ex-girlfriends.
8) 'Nice & Slow'
The ballad single, 'Nice & Slow,' helped his album, 'My Way' go platinum in 1997. This is the first song to hit No. 1 on the charts. The album was produced by L.A. Reid, Babyface, and Dupri -- and the album's success helped catapult Usher's success.
7) 'Papers'
This is Usher's debut single off his 2010 'Raymond v. Raymond,' which address the end of his marriage. Apparently co-writer Sean Garrett wrote this song months before there was any word about a divorce between Usher and his now ex-wife, Tameka Foster.
6) 'U Got It Bad'
Jeramaine Dupri and Bryan-Michael Cox produced the song. Listen up, the lyrics are catchy: "U got it bad when you're out with someone / But you keep thinkin' bout somebody else."
