While Usher is originally from Chattanooga, Tennessee, he moved to Atlanta as a teenager.

Just days after the biggest performance of his life at Super Bowl LVIII in February, Channel 2′s Karyn Greer sat down with him for a one-on-one interview about the performance and his legacy.

While Outkast landed at No. 41 with their album, Aquemini. The 1998 album features hits like ‘Rosa Parks,’ ‘Da Art of Storytellin’ (Pt. 1 and 2)’ and ‘SpottieOttieDopaliscious.’

Although the group who got their start in Atlanta hasn’t released any music since 2006, their albums are revered in much of the music world.
