They don't belong on UNSUNG. They had success with Top 10's and platinum albums. I thought UUNSUNG was for artists that achieved little to no commercial success.
No, otherwise there would be nothing to discuss each episode. They've done people like Teddy P, Gerald Levert, George Clinton, all popular in their day. Each artist had success, at least in R&B, but may have never been a huge mainstream artist or didn't leave a lasting legacy most people know about. Arrested Development sold 4x plat, three Top 10 singles, a Grammy, but who discusses them today or knew anything about them? Freddie Jackson set like a record for almost twenty Top 10 R&B singles, but who ever cites him as an influence?
Xscape falls into that space of being popular at the time but never being huge in mainstream as artists, even with pop hits. They were below TLC and SWV for me.
