He was on his way to becoming a superstar. Could have been the next MJ.
fjffghhhh boy
He wouldn't have even gotten Usher/Justin T level.
ok maybe MJ was a bit dramatic but do y'all not remember how big he was at one point 
He was the Biggest artist of 2008
He was def coming for JT & Usher tbhon
Where was he coming for Justin when his first two albums sold more in the US than Chris's first two sold worldwide? And he definitely wasn't seeing anything close to Confessions, My Way or 8701
He had a period where he was successful/popular but that was it.
Zero iconic songs/albums, no memorable performances or prestigious awards. What will he be remembered for when he retires..."Run It"
erm...
First of all, I never said anything about him reaching their peaks, I was suggesting that he was coming for them at that point in time. He definitely had overtaken Usher by 2008, & this can be seen in the lists i posted earlier.
He was increasing in popularity with each year until he lashed Rih in that damn Lambo. Endorsement deals, TV appearances, award wins, hit singles, hit albums... he was slaying and everyone loved him
Also, not sure why you're prioritizing album sales like this anyway. Bey doesn't have a confessions and she still became bigger than Usher
How many artists had albums sell as much as usher's 90's/00's albums in the mid-late 00's, anyway?
As far as what he'll be remembered for... we all know that when he dies, he'll be hailed as this great performer.
He has several memorable hits as well
Yo
Look at Me Now
Loyal
Run It!
With You
No Air
New Flame
Are all urban staples
not even counting his feature messes. The niggers already consider him legendary
like... literally one of the last important R&B artists
