Billboard: The Top 50 R&B/ Hip-Hop Artists of the Past 25 Years The Top 50 R&B / Hip-Hop Artists of the Past 25 YearsIn honor of the incomparable artists that have helped bring urban music to the masses over the last three decades -- and also to toast the success of our recently launched music column The Juice -- the Billboard chart team has assembled this list of the Top 50 R&B/Hip-Hop artists of the last 25 years. 4. Mariah Carey 5. Janet Jackson 6. Usher 7. Luther Vandross 8. Jay-Z 9. Freddie Jackson
Does anyone know why they put Hip-Hop with R&B? | |

Let's see now....25 years, that would put us back to 1985 on up to the present.
Well my, my, my...look how dull that list is. Like I've always said, 1985 is the year when things first started getting dull and look who's at number 3 on the list. Andy is a four letter word. | |

If R Kelly is at the top of the list..........no wonder music is dead. | |

R. Kelly was a juggernaut in the 90's. Truly a talented guy. Yeah, TP2 on up until today has been spotty as hell, but his work in the 90's alone I think warrants his place. | |

How? He created many memorable R&B classics, not just for himself but for many other artists as well. | |

I thought R&B stood for Rhythm and Blues. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

I pretty much agree with this list.... exceept for i think janet should at least be number 2.... she has the most number 1 rnb hits.... this list really isn't based on actually hits under rnb/hip hop.... its more of a popularity contest...
if that had been anyone else with the most rnb 1 ones.. they be on top of that list.. | |

11. Prince
Though the Purple One's chart history stretches back to 1978, when he arrived on R&B/Hip-Hop Songs with "Soft and Wet," Prince continued to reign on into the next four decades with seemingly endless singles and albums. Since 1985 (the start year for this countdown), he's racked up 30 entries on R&B/Hip-Hop Albums -- more than any other artist -- with 19 of them reaching the top 10. Most recently, his last three studio releases all debuted at No. 1: 2006's "3121," 2007's "Planet Earth" and 2009's "Lotus Flow3r/MPLSound/Elixr."
Somebody explain to me again why he hasn't released 20ten in the states yet? | |

Why is it a joke? It's fact not opinion. | |

It's a "joke" because MJ didn't make the Top 10 | |

For the majority of the last 25 years, hip-hop and Rap-and-B have been inextricably linked in the public consciousness. Good night, sweet Prince | 7 June 1958 - 21 April 2016

I'd like 2 see there list of the 25 years before 1985.(1960 - 1984). I'm guessing James Brown would be number 1. PRINCE: Always and Forever

They'd probably work up a list if a couple people sent them an email requesting it. | |

1. JB 2. Stevie 3. Marvin 4. Aretha 5. MJ 6. Supremes 7. Jackson 5/Jacksons 8. Temptations 9. Green 10. Barry White
My guess at a top 10 list. PRINCE: Always and Forever

its not fact... if it were really based on the fact of how many number 1 rnb songs an artist had janet would be number 1 on the list not r kelly | |
- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator |
I think they go by the amount of number 1's and the time said song(s) spent at the number 1 spot. PRINCE: Always and Forever

It's not based on number one singles, it's based on a bunch of different collected data. R Kelly has released a truckload more albums than Janet, all of which had multiple charting singles. I love Janet and all, but she has NOT had 56 top 40 R&B singles in the last 25 years. | |

r&b/soul is code for rhythm & blues/soul.
hip-hop/r&b is code for shit-hop/rhythmless bullshit.
