He has a couple moderate hits from features(Kane Brown & Marshmellow) in the 2020s but they're very basic

OT: Probably Frank or The Weeknd, even though I feel like he’s more pop.

I think he was destined to be a one album wonder but got lucky with his disclosure and Billie collabs so he extended his peak for a couple months

 

Tho he has yet to release his next album so we will see

It was longer than that nnnn

[bijonse]

The weeknd, most of her discography is r&b and he’s kind of the blueprint artists like PND and Brent faiyaz follow 

[Sscorpionn]

It’s Frank Ocean. He’s the male SZA 

 

The Weeknd sprinkling a few R&B songs in his albums does not make him the king of R&B. The same way Rihanna isn’t the queen of R&B. The bulk of their discography and hits is pop.

I know I’m just saying his peak lasted longer than it would have

I mean Chris Brown is still most popular but I associate him with Millenials. I feel like Frank doesn't release enough. I have no idea how ppl feel about him now. I feel like people associate the Weeknd with pop music now. It would have been Khalid but he's been stuggling to find another hit so I'm going with Brent. A lot of gen z that love r&b really likes his music. I feel like he's the best fit.

Brent & Steve definitely Top 2 for the past 2 years in terms of brand

 

Not sure what happened with Giveon, kind of fell in a dry era. But I think he could come back his next album

Very true. I did think about picking Steve but I am not sure if people only care about him right now because of how big Bad Habits is. It could be another Khalid situation. I feel like I have been hearing about Brent for a few years now and he's been consistent.

 

EDIT: About Giveon, I like his music but I didn't even know he released an album last year. Was it even promoted? I downloaded the one from 2021 and I feel like I haven't seen him anywhere. Where's his exposure?

The Weeknd.

 

I am very disappointed in Brent and the way his career is going sonically though. I feel as if he would be a gigantic star if he did the europop-R&B sound that is becoming popular again. He unfortunately peaked artistically with his first album too.

[Devin]

The Weeknd, even tho he is pop to me.

[crf13]

If they had taste, they’d say Miguel, but we all know they’d name the one that’s more of a pop star, at this point. 

[Ger]

I kinda feel The Weeknd is seen more as a pop artist rather than R&B, and that perception has intensified in recent years. 

 

I honestly think Breezy leads the pack here, we hate to see it, but he's been able to crossover to these new young audiences.

[Alldeezy]

I feel the weeknd even tho I see him more as pop

[brokee]

The Weeknd even though he makes pop music too.  

[Kiss It Better]

idk but it should've been Mac Ayres

 

 

 

p.s. if Khalid or Giveon is named king of R&B then R&B is DEAD

In what world are BBTM and Starboy not R&B albums  

[B-Luke]

Khalid until 2020, now it‘s Frank but he really needs to release something quick  Chris keeps having hits of course but he‘s too inconsistent.

I don‘t consider Abel R&B anymore, he pretty much fully transitioned into pop.

[FreeXone]

The Weeknd is NOT rnb lol
