No I do not. If you mean current mainstream, all the artistes I named are that. Just because they don't fit into your narrow definition of what is mainstream does not exclude them.
I do notice the subtext of your OP though, as I'm sure everyone else has. Why don't you just admit you mean black mainstream artistes, which is why you're trying to prove Springsteen, U2 etc are not mainstream where they quite clearly are. If you mean black artistes, say black artistes. It's interesting you haven't mentioned in your OP any of the problems afflicting the world that don't centre on black people.
I've no problem if you mean black artists, but if you do then say it, don't hide behind generalities and trying to redefine what is mainstream and what is not.
Just be honest. And also, a bit of a more concillatory tone, or just a polite one, would be nice. I'm not an idiot. Please don't talk to me as if I am one.
