I know how it works just fine. Please see Kworb's post above about how the sales of the two aforementioned pop songs matched or surpassed the sales of the two aforementioned urban songs though; that is my point.

I'll admit that Kworb and bobbymfw are right but you guys need to use better words so you don't sound like racists.

Anywayz i think it's wrong using the RACE CARD for this kind of thing i mean black people always had hit #1 i see nothing unfair or wrong with that

Let's enjoy the music, and not complaining about because it's white/black/latino

^ I never said there was anything wrong with that.

Uhm, IGF sold more than 3 mi digital copies. any question?

I wasn't speaking in terms of race, or at least I wasn't trying to, but what we're discussing is somewhat race-related.

Also, both artists/groups mentioned in the title of this thread are black, so it's not like we're favoring race, we're disputing one song's achievement over the other.

Or you guys need to stop letting your panties get twisted so easily. Nobody is being racist here. Racism = hate. Kworb isn't even hating. He's just stating fact, more or less.

I wasn't referring to you dude i just pointed the .rolleyes. because you were defending something and the you admit you're like "wrong" when it's not because you give a good explanation about BB Charts!

I just can't stand someone that said BEP is @ #1 just because they're black only few people could think that

BEP is a a group that represents ALL, I feel identified with Taboo because of his latin-american roots and Apl.de.ap is Filipino-American , will.i.am. is Black and Fergie is White...

BEP = not for their races, it's for their incredible Music

When I listen to music i don't look on musician's race

Isn't Fergie latina as well?

^
I didn't know that i'm a bad stan XD

***Le'ts search***

true, but some people do and they make some lame excuses on the race.

Is this guy serious? You're trying to insert racism into something that is complelety irrelevant. Radio plays what people want to hear, and apparently people want to hear songs that just happen to be mostly black artists. There are more Rhythmic songs by black artists as well. And I'm not sure if you know this or not, but most of the people buying this Rap and Hip-Hop albums are actually white people. Black folks only make up like 13% of the country... Back in the day, black people have had to work their asses off just to get radio to play their songs at all. I mean, come on now..

Like, let me not say anything more to get myself banned...

Britney Spears got like 200 spins in just 1 day. Is she black?

I Gotta Feeling hasn't finished yet it's still in top 10 iTunes dude.

But almost all those spins were from POP radio.

POP
215

RHY
23

It amazes me how some people still try to deny US radio is ALL about races.

Urban is simply worse than Rhythmic when it comes to that. And if the Rhythmic chart is already the way it is, let alone the Urban ones.

Yet Urban airplay is nearly non-existent. It's the downloads that are driving the song. Yeah, the song is garnering more exposure, but I can't believe that it's because of "black" members. A little reverse racism? If that were the case, black artists would sell more singles.
