It was sent to R&B radio before Pop

 

It reached #1 on Urban AC in early February 2014, didnt get to #1 on Pop till late April

This.

 

When I think pure R&B, MJP, Keyshia Cole, Jhene Aiko, K Michelle etc.

I only see a few, not sure what you're talking about

 

The obvious oddball ones like Peaches are here for obvious reasons He got his lil "R&B" song

 

Dont, Talk, Yeah, Best Part, Leave The Door Open, No Guidance, September, Aint No Mountain High Enough, and Location arent R&B to you

 

Earned It, Call Out My Name & The Hills are the very few popular The Weeknd R&B songs he has. Earned It won Best R&B performance at the Grammys.

 

Starboy is more on The Poppy side though

 

That's What I Like won Best R&B performance at the Grammys as well (which you should be happy since it would have Get You by Daniel Caesar instead, since you be hatin on him. Choose your battles)

Not you not including Earth, Wind and Fire

 

I mean it's a universal song, but I wouldn't label it Pop. It's Funk/Soul lol

 

Is Yeah not Crunk&B?

 

And Aint No Mountain High Enough charted better initially on the R&B charts than Hot 100

Bryson  I knew Don't was huge but wow

[dabunique]

All of Me was always an R&B song

[dussymob]

Whoa Marvin and Tammi

[dussymob]

All of these songs are R&B, I don’t know what y’all talking about. R&B is not just limited to slow jams…

Yeah, it's close to Top 20 but not quite there.

 

Having trouble getting the #20 song. Might be Exchange by Bryson Tiller 

 

Wait, nevermind.

[Armani?]

#20 is Heartbreak Anniversary by Giveon

 

The way I thought it was still in the 600 millions
