Well, it's good to be Usher just now. Not only was his album one of only two this year to shift a million units in the US in the first week of sale, and not only has that album - 'Confessions' - now been at number one in the Billboard album chart for eight weeks, but now he has equalled a record only previously achieved by the Bee Gees and the Beatles - having three tracks in the Billboard singles top ten at the same time. This week Usher will have the number one single with 'Burn' while 'Yeah!' is at four and 'Confessions Part II' is at 9. If the latter track gets to number one next week he will have equalled another Beatles record - holding three consecutive US number ones - something the Beatles did back in 1964.
