QuoteIn the end, Billboard staffers agreed on the following criteria: vocal prowess, body of work, career longevity, industry achievements, game-changing influence and enduring generational/cultural impact. While some singers who made the list are also known for their lyrical skills, songwriting wasn't a major deciding factor in this instance. And legendary singers best known for fronting groups versus their solo work were not included — which means a ranking of the best R&B groups of all time is no doubt in the offing.

This is their criteria.

def a solid list if we're talking about artistry. ashanti included. she def brought something fresh to R&B at the time. was just so simple and clean and cute. undoubtedly refreshing
Kalmyks are tribal Mongolic people primarily located in Russia.
There are only 3,000 Kalmyk descendants in America - and less than 200,000 worldwide.
