April 3, 2008 () - Singer Usher�s eagerly awaited album Here I Stand is set for a global release on May 27th. Originally scheduled for a June release the highly anticipated album has been pushed up in order to satiate increasing global demand from all of his fans.
The video for his song Love In This Club will make its worldwide debut on MTV April 7th. It features Young Jeezy, and is co-written by Usher and produced by Polow Da Don.
The smash hit currently holds the #2 position on both the Hot 100 and Hot Digital Tracks charts. The song became his eighth #1 hit and is the lead single from his forthcoming, fifth studio album, Here I Stand.

Here I Stand is follow-up to his history-making, 9x platinum-selling Confessions. Within the first week of the release of Confessions, Usher sold more than any other R&B artist in the history of SoundScan. The album spawned four #1 hit singles and Usher spent 40 weeks in the No. 1 position on The Billboard Hot 100- which is more than any other male artist in the nearly 50 year history of the chart.
Worldwide, the multi-talented, five-time Grammy-winner, musician and actor has sold nearly 14 million copies of Confessions and it earned a multitude of honors including MTV, BET, and People's Choice awards.
Over the span of his 14-year career, Usher has won five Grammy awards and combining all of his single, album and DVD sales, he has sold close to 36 million units worldwide.
