Usher has claimed that the world "deserves" to hear a collaboration between himself and super singer Adele.

Speaking to Capital FM, Usher put himself forward for a possible link-up with the '21' singer.

Usher is currently promoting his new single 'Climax', but hinted that he'd be up for one day recording a record with Adele. He said:

"I think the world deserves an Usher and Adele record. That's what I think. That would be the other UK connection that I think everybody would be really fond of and enjoy."

As previously reported, Usher also joked that people should stop buying Adele's chart hit '21' in an effort to preserve Usher's own sales record. His album 'Confessions' is said to be the biggest selling release of the 2000s, with '21' breathing down its neck.
