So this year has been a really big for R&B. A lot of R&B girls had big numbers and Ciara finally returned to the BB charts with Body Party. Kisses Down Low was well recieved and Bangerz happened.

Did Rih put R&B on with Lov7? Did she lead the pack like she did with Dance music?

If not Rih then who?

No, she brought it back with the R&B smash Diamonds.

Rihanna setting trends every year. Diamonds marked a point in today's music.
Same happened with WFL and the instrumental breakdowns in pop songs.

Yes. LegendaRih tbh

Doesn't she always...

She's about to bring rock back.

Yep.
Rihanna is the one who decides which genre gets to slay the BB hot 100 basically.

Yes

No shade but i can instantly think of 3 artist who would have songs EXACTLY like it on their next album.

Absolutely not. R&B had already started getting popular before Unapologetic. Plus, besides Diamonds, were any of her songs so popular that they could have an actual impact on the pop scene?

No? What is Lov7?

Not really.

No.

Yes,
How noble of ha saving a genre.

No. LOL

I was gonna say something but I know this is just a joke.

Birthday Cake inspired songs like Cake and Bow Down and the whole bad bitches trend in pop girls.

LOL no

No that was quite clearly JT with S&T who was the first major one on the R&B trend trying to make it happen.
