I came in here to say R. Kelly, but then I looked it their discographies and I have to say Usher. He has had 8 number 1 hits to R. Kelly's 2, and they've been on billboard just about an equal number of times.
You do have to factor in that Robert lost a lot of support after he caught the case...And yet he was still dropping hits afterwards, but who knows how big those would have been had the case never happened.

R Kelly... its not even close.
Besides the obvious hits he has written for himself... he has probably written MORE hits for OTHER artist than Usher has had in his career

at no point have i ever heard anyone talk about usher fallin off . again , just my opinion ......

I'm going with Kellz
But yeah it's a lot closer than what some of y'all are makign it out to be. Usher has just as many hits as R Kelly. Just a slightly different generation

Why care about hits? R Kelly has made much better music throughout his career. That's all that should matter to a fan.

If you wanna go off of technical numbers of coarse Usher is the favorite
But ask anybody in music and they will tell you R. Kelly hands down........12 Play > any body of work Usher has put out including Confessions
dude wrote hits for Michael Jackson, made I Believe I Can Fly, & had the whole world waiting on Chapters from Trapped In The Closet
not to mention you can go to ANY wedding white, black, latino......and play Igntion Remix and the whole dance floor will be packed
Kellz is the King...Usher is the Prince

....and i favor Usher waaaay more that Kellz. i was 15 when his debut dropped. our generation grew up on and with acts like Usher and Aaliyah who were our age as well.
...i highly doubt anyone on NT even remembers Usher's 1994 debut.
...Usher fell off after Confessions sir. the only thing that helped him stay afloat was conforming to the new mainstream R&B sound we hear today. (techno style beats and autotune)
....had Usher been smart he'd have kept the same sound Confessions had.
...for starters R. Kelly's 'greatest hits' is like a Isley Brothers Greatest hits. their resume is so large that you best believe any greatest hits released under their name is a small percentage of their hits.
...in contrast, from Usher's greatest hits above 1/4 of those songs come from Confessions, and i didnt even look to see how many came from My Way. the rest are just filler, something to fill the dead space enough to release a greatest hits.
...the comparison is embarrasing. stop it.

It's not even comparable
Kellz writes, produces and sings nearly everyone of his songs, especially his hits.
Let's not even talk about songs he has written for others.
Usher just sings, great performer though.
Usher never fell off? you trippin, everything since Confessions has been mediocre
