Thanks to his first self titled album, he became one of the youngest artists of all times to find a spot in the Billboard charts. He was only 16 when his first album peaked to No.25 on the charts.

Sapphire Club Rep says ‘Usher fake bucks’ claims not true
No, Usher did not give ‘fake bucks’ to the women at the Sapphire Club.
In an interview with TMZ, a rep for the club cleared the air around the false claims. The rep revealed that Usher had not tipped the strippers with fake money.
The representative went on to clarify that the singer had dished out authentic money on the dancers and not fake ‘Usher dollars’. He had in fact spent thousands on the women at the club.
Moreover, sources close to Usher stated that it was somebody from Usher’s crew who had left the ‘Usher fake bucks’ behind. They did it both as a joke and also to promote his brand new Vegas residency.
