NEW YORK, Dec. 26 (UPI) -- Usher will debut his 20-minute movie, "Rhythm City Volume 1: Caught Up" at New York's "New Year's Eve: Live from Times Square with Ryan Seacrest" on Fox.

The mini-movie Friday will feature four songs "Seduction," "Caught Up," "Red Light," and "Take Your Hand," from Billboard's No. 1 Album of the Year, "Confessions."

The movie caps off a big year for Usher -- a year he broke records in sales and radio airplay.

Released in March 2004, "Confessions" sold a record breaking 1.1 million copies in its first week, the highest ever for a Rhythm & Blues debut.

A special edition with four additional songs was released in September 2004 and in total "Confessions" has sold more than 8 million copies in the United States -- making it the year's top selling CD.

In 2004, Usher spent an unprecedented 28 weeks atop Billboard's Hot 100 Singles & Tracks chart for his four hit singles "Burn," "Confessions Part II," "My Boo" and "Yeah!"
