The bias is with Rhythmic, which leans more to black artists. Compare how Firework did to how Only Girl did on there; both are pure pop songs and were huge hits on Pop.

HAC is kind of the opposite, it leans more to white artists, but the AI there is much smaller. And black pop artists have a whole other format to get AI from (Urban) if they include a rapper on the song or if the song is urban sounding. White artists don't have that option.

Black artists have it easier on radio, that's why we had a few years (when radio almost completely determined the Hot 100, early 2001 to early 2006) where you could count the non-Urban #1s on one hand. But with the advent of digital sales and both Urban and Rhythmic AI being smaller than before, the advantage is not as huge anymore.

Exactly. Without the digital singles, everything would have lean into RnB/Rap/Hiphop. The digital singles balance what was completely unfair to many artist...

Huh? So why does Madonna have 13 # 1's? You're makin a poor excuse.

If you wanna go there, it helps that Brit is white that she has sold the amount of records she has, appealing to mainstream audiences. She's a janet jackson clone but white. I mean really?

Brit has used RB influences to her advantage in her music, choreography, collaborations and style. And she has benefited tremendously. Dont go there.

Ugh most of her no.1s were from a time where people actually buy the physical singles and when radio was leaning more into White American singers(that's right, radio back then was racist). Just look at the history of MTV. It almost got MJ out of circulation due to him being black. (and to educate you, that part of history is one of the start of the invasion of RnB into the scene...And let's not even try comparing the no. 1s of the 1980s to 2000s to 2001 to 2006(Pre-digital era)...

It was only during 21st century where urban music became prominent... And now you know who's the victim of urban music resurgence? Yes. ROCK music...

And for Rihanna, it helps that she's black, people stereotypes most often times black artist as rnb/rap/hiphop artist when what she truly is a popstar at her core...There's a reason why Mariah Carey uses her african ancestry as an advantage to the radio when she's interviewed.She didn't get all those number one songs solely from pop radios...(no racism intended on this post)

Actually it was intended. Rihanna doesnt use the fact that shes black to her advantage. Even her label acknowledges that shes not very huge in the urban world. Pop is her core format and she barely gets urban plays on radio not unless a rapper is on the track or if the song is more island sounding or R&B.

SOS, Only Girl, and Disturbia were not sent to urban formats but it never stopped them from going #1 based off pop and rhythmic airplay alone.

Why are you people clearly CHOOSING to ignore the big impact the Rhythmic stations have? Urban stations are basically nothing close to that.

Man that time, I was really unconvinced at the credibility of Billboard 100. Radio was never a good indicator for popularity of music. It's pretty much like being shove food down your table without ordering it(I know it's free but still) and they're(the DJ) just looking at you if you'll eat it or just throw the food at them...

This is completely irrelevant about 2001-2006. Rihanna rose to prominence in 2006.

NOT.

As for not mentioning it in your post, I said what I said because Kworb brought the matter up, I brought the matter up and you people kept on going as if we never said it.

[dposton]

Why dont you Brit STANS , not FANS, realize that it's harder for Brit to get a #1 and stop bringing race into this matter.

Katy Perry has NO problem racking them up, and they have the same audience. She has more #1's than Brit's entire career if im not mistaken.

AW MA GAWD.

She *still* got support from TWO types of radio stations - Pop AND Rhythmic, with occasional help from Urban. Why deny it? :-/ Doesn't make her less successful.

All Katy singles have benefited from the digital sales, DUH. And she didn't have to face the period we mentioned. But whatever, denial is a bitch and can be addictive, so I won't blame it on you. Buh-bye.

Reading is fundamental. I said that she receives the support . But other "mainstream" artists easily get 5x or 6x platinum songs. So as i stated, it BALANCES out.

Well why are you pointing fingers at black artists when they have an advantage on a format. Doesnt white artisits get more plays on AC and HAC formats.

Look at it this way its actually better when they are white the industry is more lenient to an artisit when they are from that race. I dont mean to seem like a racist but look at Eminem. Look at the way he is selling compared to artists like Jayz, Drake etc.

Do you think if Justin Timberlake was charged for domestic violence on Britney (when they were dating) do you think he would have get the same heat for it as Chris?

When you're white you have an upper hand of selling more albums etc. Pop radio mostly play white acts anyway and that is the main format on radio. Dont blame Rihanna, Beyonce, Usher and Mariah for having the crossover appeal of being black pop stars.

Yes but strictly talking about radio, white artists are disadvantaged.

For example, LA's biggest pop station plays both Britney and Rihanna. Biggest HAC: plays both. Biggest AC: neither. Biggest urban: they won't touch Britney with a 10-foot pole.

+1 and lets not forget about Susan Boyle, Taylor Swift .......

America is not color blind. Outside America is. Hence why Rihanna is sellin by the **** loads. Black and White artists have advantages in different areas.

And there you go, you people couldn't help but making it about racism.

I'll just say this: Rhythmic audience >>>>>>>>>>>>>> black hole >>>>>>>>>>>> AC & HAC audience.

But you can believe whatever you want.


P.S.: Justin would be CRUSHED if he had even touched Britney violently. Trust me on that.
