Say word? Talk about an honor.
Today, Billboard released their Top 50 R&B/Hip-Hop Artists of All Time list and Robert Kelly hit #1 on the charts (zing!) and took the top honors. Kells bested other notable legends including Whitney Houston, Mary J. Blige, Jay-Z and Luther Vandross.
R. Kelly crowns our list of the top 25 R&B/hip-hop artists of the past 25 years with good reason. Since January of 1985, he’s amassed 35 top 10 hits on R&B/Hip-Hop Songs (the most of any act in the time frame) and a total of 84 charting singles. Among those are 11 No. 1s, including “Bump N’ Grind” (12 weeks at the top) and “Down Low (Nobody Has To Know)” (seven weeks) with Ronald Isley. Further cementing Kelly’s hitmaker status is his staggering 11 No. 1s on R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. The R&B icon continued to post new chart achievements in 2010, as he notched his 56th top 40 single with “When a Woman Loves.”
Damn, hats off the Kells for this one. This is a major honor. Obviously, Kells’ music legacy gets clouded due to his personal battles, but cot damn if he isn’t the world’s greatest. Salute.
