Usher’s storied and classic Confessions album has officially turned 20 years old. To celebrate the milestone, Usher hit Instagram with a special message:
20 years ago today, we dropped the iconic ‘Confessions’ album, which is now 14x Platinum. Making it the highest RIAA certified album by a male soloist released this century. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
The love and support from my Day 1s has been nothing short of incredible. Thank you for rocking with me through every lyric, every beat, and every confession. Thank you to each and every important collaborator that was apart of this very special project that helped mold and shape my career as an artist. Without you, Confessions wouldn’t be the masterpiece it is.
Here’s to the memories, the vibes, and the timeless music that continues to move us. Let’s keep making history!! #ConfessionsAnniversary #20Years #LinkInBio
