Greatest Pop Stars of the 21st Century Podcast: Usher (No. 11) & Nos. 25-11 Recap With AJ Marks


On this week's Greatest Pop Stars of the 21st Century Podcast, we review the century in Usher and recap the list so far with AJ Marks of r/Popheads.

Our new GPS21C episode covers an artist who's already had a majorly legacy-confirming 2024, and then takes a breath to look back at the list so far before getting into the top 10. Host Andrew Unterberger is joined by Billboard staff writer Kyle Denis and R&B/Hip-Hop charts manager Trevor Anderson to recall the highs of Usher’s run, the gradual decline that followed, and the comeback of recent years that’s validated his legacy and allowed everyone to remember what a massive part of pop music and culture he’s been for over a quarter-century now. Listen to our latest below, catch up on our pastepisodeshere, and be sure to subscribe to Billboard ‘s Greatest Pop Stars of the 21st Century series wherever you get your podcasts!
