Ludacris and Usher perform onstage during the 2024 Super Bowl in February in Las Vegas
Usher and Ludacris have a reason to be &#8220;screamin&#8217;.&#8221;
The &#8220;U Got It Bad&#8221; singer, 45, and the &#8220;Act a Fool&#8221; artist, 46, shared on X (formerly known as Twitter) that Usher&#8217;s 2004 track &#8220;Yeah!&#8221; — which features Ludacris and Lil Jon — went 13 times platinum.
On Monday, Ludacris initially shared a post on the social media platform revealing the song had accumulated 13 million units on Feb. 9 — just two days before the the duo&#8217;s 2024 Super Bowl performance of &#8220;Yeah&#8221; — along with an image of a Spotify plaque he recently received revealing the track set a new record earning 1 billion streams.
He wrote, &#8220;That DAMN SUPER BOWL EFFECT Was The Cherry On Top 🙏🏾 CONGRATS to my brothers @usher @liljon @seangarrettpen &amp; ALL THE FANS THAT MADE THIS ONE OF THE BIGGEST SONGS IN HISTORY!!!&#8221;
Usher chimed in on the good news on Tuesday by quote tweeting his collaborator&#8217;s post.
&#8220;We did that bro 💪🏾🔥 Thank U to everyone who ever pressed play!!&#8221; he replied.

According to Billboard, this is the first time Usher, Ludacris and Lil Jon have all had a song that accumulated 1 billion Spotify streams.
The eight-time Grammy winner&#8217;s catalog has experienced a streaming boost in the days since his Super Bowl halftime show, with &#8220;Yeah!&#8221; at the forefront.
From Feb. 11-12, the track has earned 4.8 million official on-demand U.S. streams, which increased from the 2.3 million streams during Feb. 9-10, per Billboard.
Usher&#8217;s set at the Super Bowl on Feb. 11 featured an all-star lineup of special guests.
He kicked things off with Alicia Keys, who initially sang her own track &#8220;If I Ain&#8217;t Got You,&#8221; before joining the headliner for a rendition of their song &#8220;My Boo.&#8221;

The &#8220;Standing Next to You&#8221; artist then played &#8220;Confessions Part II,&#8221; &#8220;Burn&#8221; and &#8220;U Got It Bad,&#8221; during which he wore a single glove, seemingly paying tribute to the late Michael Jackson.
H.E.R. accompanied Usher on electric guitar during &#8220;U Got It Bad&#8221; for a thrilling solo.
Other surprise guests during the show included Jermaine Dupri, will.i.am for &#8220;OMG&#8221; and Lil Jon — who played his own hit &#8220;Turn Down for What — as well as Ludacris, on the finale &#8220;Yeah!&#8221;
