It is undeniably Usher season given how well he is doing on all fronts and the latest development posits that the Yeah! star has secured a significant victory, as evidenced by his two residencies in Las Vegas that have brought in over $100 million.
My Way: The Vegas Residency with Usher was one of the most sought-after shows in 2022–2023. His 100th and last sold-out show took place in December 2023, according to Rolling Stone.
It was previously reported by AFROTECH that in 2021, Usher sold out 18 of his 20 shows during his first Vegas residency, Usher: The Las Vegas Residency, as he performed his catalog of hits at Caesars Palace’s Colosseum before heading to Park MGM’s Dolby Live.
The revenue from each of Usher’s residency performances, according to a subsequent report, matched the buzz that the artiste generated on social media and elsewhere.
Billboard Boxscore reports that Usher’s two residencies brought in over $100 million in revenue. His first residency brought in $18.8 million from the sale of 84,000 tickets; by contrast, My Way: The Vegas Residency brought in $95.9 million from the sale of 394,000 tickets, for a combined total of $114.6 million.
