But, you were downplaying the feat as if it wouldn't count as much since she did more "pop" music.
She wasn't as "urban" as Shim or Missy.... both of whom were pop culture icons.
But, we have Monica swearing up and down how "real" and R&B she is and she's no stranger to a Richard Marx remake.
So, is it as impressive or NOT that she hit those numbers? Or should we not pay it that much mind or give her that many props for her accomplishments AS an R&B artist since she dipped into a different sound?
Or, is she an R&B artist who happened to experiment and go into different lanes AS an R&B artist?
Sis I wasn?t arguing about technicalities and what to count or not
I brought up Nicki doing pop simply to make the point that her bubbly fun songs helped get her a wider audience . Hence them being her biggest songs . That?s why her numbers were massive. Missy and Kim were crossed over but they weren?t doing bubble gum sing alongs
Boom ba doom doom bass! I mean

I?m not saying it takes anything from her . But she was smart and strategic about how to reach the masses from jump. That?s what helped her numbers become so massive.
All this Monica mess is irrelevant tbh

When you do pop of course it?s easier for them to become hits and garner sales. I never said anything was wrong with it
