Robin Thicke has only had three Top 40 hits in his career, but each of them have had a tremendous amount of success on AC stations as well (“Lost Without U,” “Give It 2 U,” and “Blurred Lines”).
#TYRESE NEW ALBUM SHAME SERIES#
Justin Timberlake has had tremendous success on both charts throughout his career most recently his two releases of The 20/20 Experience rendered a series of songs that hit the Top 10 on both (“Not a Bad Thing,” “Suit & Tie,” and “Mirrors”).
He also won a BET Award for Best New Artist. Sam Smith’s “Stay With Me” held the Adult R&B top spot for thirteen weeks, and simultaneously peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Adult R&B chart, Adele’s “Hello” also topped the Hot 100 for seven weeks. Regardless of whether or not one believes that what these artists are offering is traditional R&B music, they have each been shown a significant amount of love by R&B and AC stations.

So to be honest I already accomplished the goal I set out to reach. I’m filled w gratitude!! Coming back out was mentally the hardest fight I’ve ever experienced. In addition to Adele, Tyrese and his counterparts have pointed to the success of other white singers in the genre, such as Sam Smith, Justin Timberlake, and Robin Thicke. Michelle claimed that she doesn’t believe Adele’s “Hello” would’ve had the same success had it been sung by a black woman. Jazmine Sullivan confirmed that she believes there is some injustice in “how black soul artists are received,” and K. Tank expressed the difficulty that black R&B artists have in getting their work green-lit, specifying that it often takes “six, seven months to build up one record,” while white R&B artists have had multiple Top 10 singles at one time. This assertion has been been furthered recently by a number of other prominent black vocalists. 1 spot - by Adele’s “Hello.”ĭuring interviews around the time of the project’s release with Diddy’s REVOLT and Power 105’s The Breakfast Club, Tyrese was extremely vocal about how he sees the current state of R&B namely that R&B singers are “insecure” about their inability to reach mainstream radio, and that only white R&B/soul artists are able to garner airplay from both urban AC radio and mainstream Top 40 stations. “Shame,” the second single from the album, has spent forty-one weeks on the chart, and was finally bumped from the No. Where his music has seen relevance is on urban adult contemporary (AC) stations, like those that make up Billboard’s Adult R&B chart. Black Rose sold 83,000 copies in its first week - a massive amount for an independent artist these days, especially when their singles aren’t generating Top 40 airplay. The confusion likely stemmed from the fact that we’re not used to seeing an album sell so well without attention from mainstream radio (outside of a handful of hip-hop acts, at least). Few praised the music, or claimed that this accolade was well deserved. Forbes suggested that it was likely due to the success of Furious 7, the film in which he recently starred.
SPIN’s explanation was that it was a slow sales week. 1 album in the country, a slew of inquiries emerged from the voices of music journalists: How? Who? What? Back in July, when it was confirmed that Tyrese’s new release Black Rose had successfully become the new No.
