PoisonedIvy Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 R&B is so dead in 2021 it’s sad. But last year was really good. I don’t know who could out-do Jhene’s #’s, that was such an anomaly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with the Male R&B artists. They think the public wants to hear this moody "vibe" music now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thetea Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 i hope r&b makes a comeback. I liked Summer and Jhene Aiko's albums. I hope Summer Walker makes more songs like Playing Games, and less of those trap, soul type songs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mokichi Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Do you have the total of each album so far or at least any certification? it would be nice to have this data as well because I believe that some of them had a great longevitiy as well so it will shows that people actually still care about some r&b girls.

Jhene is platinum & I'm pretty sure Kehlani is close to Gold as she was at about 400K units by the end of 2020 Everyone else kinda bombed. It's worth noting that Summer's late 2019 album will probably be double platinum by 2022, and SZA, Ella Mai & HER have late 2010's albums that are still selling +300k a year Edited July 10, 2021 by Bey_Rihstan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Protocol Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 I don’t understand the posts in this thread, what about Summer Walker and SZA’s huge success recently? “Streets” by Doja? “Peaches” and “Leave the Door Open” being smash hits right now? Tyler the Creator’s album? The Weeknd? R&B music has a huge audience at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah Summer Walker. Jhené has been extremely quiet lately. I don't think we will hear new solo or Twenty88 related stuff until 2022 at the earliest (every time they were asked about Twenty88 last year and earlier this year they just mentioned they discussed it but haven't really worked on anything yet). While I am craving new Jhené I like that she takes breaks. It really increases the demand each release and she comes out swinging. I know earlier this year she was teasing some snippets of some solo stuff, but I think any plans she had to release new music this year are put on hold.
