I agree

What popular music have I mentioned?
Artists like Anthony Hamilton or Tamia are not selling out Arenas or Stadiums and they definitely are not playing on popular stations
There albums are not going to number one and they don't get number one singles so I am not sure why you think R&B is a very popular genre.
Back in the 80's you had Patti LaBelle, Earth Wind and Fire or even Luther playing on popular stations with MJ and Madonna because R&B was still relatively popular. It is not like that today.
