wayneashleymusic Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 So Billboard released it's Greatest of All Time R&B/ Hip Hop Chart, and the Janet entries are interesting, if not down right criminal. She ranks on the Artist chart, and Control ranks in the Albums chart, but she has ZERO contributions on the Songs Chart. How is that possible?? According to Billboard's own methodology, they take the blended measurements of chart position, length of time, and weigh against factors from the era. So if this is the case, How TF are none of Janet's 15 Number 1 singles missing from the chart?? Any Time, Any Place was number 1 for 10 weeks in 1994 and stayed on the chart 20 weeks, yet Right Here by SWV outranks it when it only ever reached 16 and was on the chart for 20 weeks?!?! Keep in mind that their Top song was Number 1 for 15 weeks. No shade to the ladies of SWV, but it's time to call BS on Billboard!! See for yourself...

wayneashleymusic Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 Another shade point on the Albums chart. Where is RN? It was the biggest selling album of 1990, and produced 3 number 1 R&B singles. Yet Don't Be Cruel by Bobby Brown is ranked as the 8th best R&B Album of all time by sales metrics?

Dal Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I'm so confused I didn't even bother clicking any of the links Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayneashleymusic Posted March 2, 2017 Author Share Posted March 2, 2017 Yeah, my bad, I do see that RN is on the albums chart at 76. But still surprised that none of her songs made the songs chart, per the example above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Wonder Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I did find that omission very glaring. Idk how a song that was #1 for 10 weeks doesn't rank. Even if it's based on how these R&B songs performed on the Hot 100, both songs peaked at #2, while "Right Here" was on the chart for 22 weeks, only two weeks longer than ATAP. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feehgarcia Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Janet. Doesn't. Give. A. Damn.Why should we?I'm so tired about this... We see injustice and media being unfair to her every single day.But we can't do anything alone. She doesn't seem to care and her team don't bother either...I came to accept the fact I became a fan between 20YO and Discipline, I was 2 on her golden age and those days are gone.I'm thankfull she dropped Unbreakable and, if we're lucky, another album will come on the next years.

It's not ok to me to let get white washed out of music history, yet this is a perfect example of how they try to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
