And not H.E.R being on this list when ATRL pretends she's nonexistent till award season

Well not that I am anti-H.E.R. but 1 platinum album and 2 gold albums with no mega songs...results Grammy (including SOTY)/Oscar winner. She's talented and the voters lover her but I think more people believe her award winning and her impact/popularity and success are a bit uneven.

These 3 years were seemingly very disappointing for female R&B.  Lemme see if I can find projects for these years that either weren't mentioned here, or just haven't been certified yet. I'm also sure a few projects from this timeframe have sold enough to have the potential to be certified today.
