More about Usher's Las Vegas Residency
Usher launched the Las Vegas Residency in celebration of his 1997 album, My Way, which propelled the rapper to stardom with its commercial success, debuting at number 15 on the Billboard 200 chart. It was also a chart-topper on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.
Speaking about the residency in an exclusive interview with You Know I Got Soul, the rapper had the following to say:
"I am shocked and excited about the way people are showing up the way they are and it’s sold out and people are enjoying those older songs."
The 2023 residency represents the second year of the Las Vegas residency and is the 27-year anniversary of the My Way album. It is set to be the largest residency in the artist's career so far.
