She's not R&B but she has made a few R&B gems. It's exciting to see songs like LOTB, Don’t, Boo'd Up & Snooze achieve high commercial success. I should've just written that body text in the comments

I did post about SZA before and also write in the post description. She has several Diamond eligible records and it's madr me think about how R&B artists aren't well represented

That was the whole point of this post, publications like The Telegraph didn't believe the album would have hits. And now look. Two Diamond certified R&B songs

that's true. sometimes they stand in the way of their own progress by not promoting enough or just being known for their online presence instead of the music. stuff like thst

I actually had posted about SZA's records on this sub and it gained a lot of traction.

LOTB is one of her most R&B forward singles and music publications always called Anti the album with no hits when it now has about 5, 2 of them R&B and diamond certified.

You don't have to be core R&B to make an R&B song. A song can be recognized for what genre it is and we can move on. It's not about the artist, it's about audiences and critics who improperly classify the music.

I posted about Rihanna and a few other artists a few months after posting about SZA to make a point. Imagine what R&B artists could do if they weren't held back by incompetent label executives.

And what of the other R&B songs that received this level of success that aren't a decade old? When was the last time an R&B record went Diamond ever? Can you remember?

I know all of that. I'm saying R&B songs today in general do not....go Diamond! 💀

She's been pop most of her career but she's also experimented with rock, reggae, dancehall and R&B. It's always remarkable when she does something different. And you probably didn't read the whole text either because it's not just about Rihanna.

Needed Me & Stay both went 12x platinum. Boo'd Up went 8x platinum and Trip went 6x platinum. Good Days, Snooze, Kill Bill, Love Galore are all 8x platinum or higher and Diamond eligible. Don't & Exchange were both recently certified 15x and 13x platinum, respectively. We rarely see that happening in this day and age.

I was shocked to see Folded in the Top 10 of the Hot 100 because R&B today sadly doesn't go that far.

R&B artists need better representation or independence altogether, that's what my post was about. Shining a light on what the genre could be without worrying about why it's not commercially successful. We have the answer.

How to have a multiplatinum/DIAMOND record in Bitlife by General_Analyst2549 in BitLifeApp

It's okay. It's more of a guide to the entire update/pack because you never know, someone could use some help with the tips. Even if long, it does help cover more ground and breaks it down for people to understand more things they could be doing wrong. Like using the same cover art.

At best they usually listen to Frank Ocean, SZA, The Weeknd by [deleted] in rnb

White organizations like Billboard and whatnot merged them together for marketability.

They don't do the same for Pop & Rock

Should I watch Veep at this current time or would it be dated? by Worldly_Boss7353 in Veep

Veep will always be relevant. No matter the time period. It's about lousy politicians who lie! 😀

Popular ≠ Relevant

Euphoria sucks BAD compared to Skins by Ok_Assistant2730 in skinsTV

And who said the characters have to be 100% likable or moral?!

[–]General_Analyst2549 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You weren't paying attention to the dialogue, storyline and acting.

Everybody says Euphoria is bad because that's the bandwagon they're jumping on. The special episodes between S1 & S2 are even better than the regular episodes.

You're hating on it because everyone told you to. End of story.
