As of right now, of the top 10 songs on the Hot 100, only "Bottoms Up" is a hit on the R&B chart. Six of those ten songs are by black performers. Eight are by minorities.

I feel like labels for the most part don't really understand this R&B chart schism. They keep pushing back albums by artists who have huge R&B hits that aren't crossing over, even though those artists' core audiences already have their appetites whetted.

The new Chrisette Michele album is really striking... she's definitely taking more risks on this one, and it's a lot snappier than Epiphany. And "Goodbye Game" is a hell of an anthem

i have not heard remotely as many R&B albums this year as i did in 08 or 09, and i'm not sure if that's my fault or there really has just been fewer full-lengths generating any excitement. can we start talking year-end favorites? i'm sure i missed some good shit.
― ethnic slizzur (some dude), Wednesday, 17 November 2010 23:05 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah i'll second that request
― overtheseas aeroplanes I have flown (k3vin k.), Wednesday, 17 November 2010 23:06 (thirteen years ago) link
the r&b contenders for my overall list would be:
erykah badusadek. michellequadronthe-dreamfantasiacorinne bailey raetrey songz
it's a bit of a weird year in that, even though i've been actively disappointed by v little, nothing 's really leaped out and demanded the top spot. i've absolutely caned love king but i can't honestly give it album of the year status when i compare it to its predecessors.
still some to come - is the keri hilson album due this year? and ciara, obviously, who actually might well have made by album of the year.
― lex lex lex lex lex on the track BOW (lex pretend), Wednesday, 17 November 2010 23:12 (thirteen years ago) link
-dream and corinne bailey rae are my top r&b, i think.
most exciting release left is def LAST TRAIN TO PARIS (very well could be end up my album of the year!), then BASIC INSTINCT and the Jazmine Sullivan (anyone heard this yet?)
― Here we are in a sticky situation/ (Tape Store), Wednesday, 17 November 2010 23:26 (thirteen years ago) link
...caned is good, right?
― ethnic slizzur (some dude), Wednesday, 17 November 2010 23:34 (thirteen years ago) link
caned = played over and over again. lol.
oh yeah jazmine sullivan! def a contender based on the 5 songs i've heard. is diddy/dirty money still scheduled for this year? labels seem to be doing a bit better at keeping music under wraps these days. apart from ciara's, sigh.
― lex lex lex lex lex on the track BOW (lex pretend), Wednesday, 17 November 2010 23:36 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah, dirty money and ciara both drop on the same day

oh yeah i like the kelis and bilal, foreign exchange was ok too
didn't really get into the jeremih, but then it toom me ages to really get into his debut too
― lex lex lex lex lex on the track BOW (lex pretend), Thursday, 18 November 2010 00:23 (thirteen years ago) link

Jeremih is close to beating Dream at his own game this year. Lacks a 'Yamaha' but I'm more prone to spinning the whole album.

I don't dislike it at all. I just didn't really give it much time. I'm not even sure I gave it a second listen.

really do find that a bizarre viewpoint. i would be loth to criticise the new one by most other available yardsticks, but not in comparison to the debut.
― r|t|c, Thursday, 18 November 2010 03:52 (thirteen years ago) link
with the exception of quadron (who i've never heard of) i would stand by lex's list and add ne-yo, jeremih and what i've heard of migueli'm sure the ciara is gonna be a monster, have we already discussed the new single?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgUtoUu1r50haven't heard the new bilal; it's worth hunting down?
