When Brandy right before peaking at number one pummeled down to 16 cause BB snatched away the AirPlay from the charts.

Whites are still the majority population, so that means their purchasing power extends further to support several leading pop acts simultaneously. That's why you can have several of them churning out hits, pushing units and labels respond accordingly to that with their financial backing. Black people unfortunately don't have in spades that same luxury.
!!!!!!!!
Exactly!

Demographics

And the fact we even measure our success based on their acceptance is an issue too!

Count the number of threads cackling at black artists selling below a certain amount just on this board alone :dead:

When we could actually have our own labels and cut more coin and our artists would EAT off selling 50k or 100k

Ashanti is independent huh
I remember the gorls here cackling at her release. And nobody shelled out coins.

Who all has Keyshia receipts?! The girls laughed at Charlene, no Receipts there either? HMPH where?s my AA warriors at?

:blush:But in the 90s they were merging Pop and R&B sounds a lot more

And a lot of R&B has been sounding dry tbh
that hasn?t changed IMO. R&B is as experimental as ever if you find the right artists

Maybe the older girls aren?t

!!!
R&B is more exciting now than it's been in a long time.

This is another reason why I use Issa Rae so much.

I love that she helps to give R&B artists a platform with 'Insecure'.
