If you look at the elements that her music contains, it's contemporary, but it has strong urban roots. Even songs like Radio and Sweet Dream are heavily urban influenced.
And the fact that she's reached white audiences with that urban appeal speaks loud about her and her music. |
Bey is the only one who has kept her profile with r&b. Platinum albums all the way. Most r&b girls can't past 400k total sales. Bey's first weeks with 4 were 310k with no top 20 single (at that time). She outsold Kelly and J Hud in a week. It's so hard for black acts, especially females to stay afloat and be on the hot 100 too for a significant period of time, and make the top 50. They only do it because of urban airplay, which does nothing for their sales.
I was just stating my opinion. 
has she ever DOMINATED over all of the girls at one specific time and the answer is no.
