Is now a good time for Britney to re-release I'm a Slave 4 U and have it actually go top 10?

So you can't name 5 R&B songs that have gone top 10 on the Hot 100 in the past few months?

There have been none, and "Boyfriend" doesn't count because it's NOT an R&B song. Goodness.

And it would be a sad day if Justin is the one to get R&B mainstream attention again.

No. It's not worth it. We tried to help you but there is just no hope.

BUT! LMFAO, Rihanna, Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj, Adele, Lady Gaga are offended by this statement! They are all R&B artists!

And Justin is the new R&B King.

Thanks.

And I also Stronger, Set Fire to the Rain, We Are Young and Somebody That I Used to Know all got to #1 and they didn't chart on the RnB chart. Yet people are telling me that all pop hits cross over to RnB slightly? Well, none of them got played enough to go in the top 100 except Boyfriend.

RnB music is practically dead commercially at the moment (although I've heard loads of great RnB songs this year, like the Jennifer Hudson/Ne-Yo duet, and John Legend's new song, and obviously Climax, and many others, but mainstream radio won't touch them

).

Infact, urban music as a whole is doing awfully. Only Rack City, ****** in Paris, Dance, Take Care and The Motto have been decent hits really. That's 5 songs in 4 months...

Ridicule me all you want, and you can look through my posting history, I am NOT some delusional Belieber, my fave is actually Rihanna (who's NOT an RnB artist, she just has a few RnB songs, but most of them are pop), and I've hardly ever talked about Justin here before.

In my opinion, Boyfriend is one of the few urban-sounding hits from this year. I was being a bit over-dramatic in my opening post, and NO, I AM NOT HAVING A MELT DOWN.

I'm just fed up of being dragged and spat on now. How can I delete this thread?

Well, the answer is ZERO. Literally zero R&B songs have gone top 10 this year (and I'm not counting Boyfriend as RnB). Yet people in this thread are acting like it hasn't gone anywhere, and that "dozens of other artists are getting hits with it". Sorry, but WTF? Every RnB song in the past few years has flopped. Every. single. one.

They aren't even close to R&B, and of course not all pop hits crossover to that chart. Who said that?

It doesn't matter. Go out into the real world and ask people is "Boyfriend" an R&B song, and they would laugh at you. It's merely a pop song which has some elements of the genre, but it's not a full R&B song.

This isn't any different than when Gwen, Nelly Furtado and other pop singers crossed over to that format. They weren't R&B artists, and neither is Justin.
