i wonder if PIU or Lov7 Song were big enough to end up in a rate like this. if we did a rate with 2010-2014 R&B, would they make the top 50?

* For technical purposes for 2013 I used "R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay" since that was the formula from 2010-2012 and the new formula lets Macklemore & Ryan go #1 for like 18 weeks even though they have no airplay in the Urban community.
* For technical purposes I didn't include MANY Rap songs that had R&B hooks since it's not technically an R&B song. Poetic Justice, Crew Love, Lotus Flower Bomb, etc are examples.
I drag Gaga all the time but it's pretty impressive that The Fame/The Fame Monster sold 15 million worldwide. So many other stars since have tried the same album + 8 track EP re-release a few months later strategy and none have come close. Ke$ha, Usher, Lana, they all sold a fraction.
Kelly's impact. And that's not even a Flea album. And TFM sold 4 million more worldwide.
nn;; Kelly's impact? This was totally Beyoncé's impact. She even went into depression after this era because everyone was bashing her for hogging the spotlight, and then she let them sing more with Survivor.
I'm a nice dude, with some nice dreams
See these ice cubes? See these Ice Creams?
Eligible bachelor, million dollar boat
That's whiter than what's spilling down your throat
The Phantom, exterior like fish eggs
The interior like suicide wrist red
I can exercise you, this can be your Phys. Ed
Cheat on your man ma, that's how you get ahizzead
Killer with the beat, I know killers in the street
With the steel that'll make you feel like Chinchilla in the heat
So don't try to run up on my ear
Talking all that raspy ****, tryna ask me ****
When my ****** fill ya vest they ain't gone pass me ****
You should think about it, take a second
Matter fact, you should take four B
And think before you **** with lil Skateboard P
