With nine Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hits from 18 top 10s, Usher has no shortage of material to choose from when choosing the set list for Sunday's Super Bowl halftime show. He'll have his work cut out for him to get things down to just 13 minutes.
On the new Billboard Pop Shop podcast, Katie and Keith talk about the songs we need to hear from Usher on Sunday and the guests he might bring. Will he skip “OMG” because he already played it during the Black Eyed Peas' halftime show in 2011? Is it guaranteed that Lil Jon and Ludacris will show up to say “Yes!” and/or “Lovers and Friends”?
