OFF was touted as the second single from Maxwell's oft-delayed, yet-to-be-officially-announced sixth studio album, BlackSummers'NIGHT, coming someday possibly but also maybe not.

Elijah Blake may be best known as a songwriter (Usher's "Climax"; Keyshia Cole's "Enough of No Love"; Rihanna's "No Love Allowed") but he was a singer first, inking his first deal with Atlantic at the age of 16. 10 years and nine projects later, he finally earned his first top-20 hit on Adult R&B with Dreams, the lead single from his latest album The Neon Eon.

AGNEZ MO may be relatively unknown in America but she is actually the most awarded artist of all time in her home country of Indonesia, with over 190 awards and counting, on top of over 4 million records sold. "Patience" became her first top-15 hit on Adult R&B.

And Kem's second appearance in this year's series couldn't pick up enough steam to land him in the top-half. It also came up two slots short of becoming his 15th top-10 hit on Adult R&B.

2022 Adult R&B Year-End: Top-30



We have our first bingo! Will the next set give us another one? Stay tuned.

[Ty]

I knew "OFF" would be kicked out early but this early?? Chile...

Agnez Mo deserved a little more respect too!!

[wrip]

These last 2 reveals sting a bit 🥲 Right On Time had a nice chill beat to it, and PJ Morton is a solid vocalist which I noticed in Please Don't Walk Away.

Also of course my lowest Tank song was his highest one 😭

I’ve mostly lost bottom 20s which is good, though I know my 2 remaining bottom 10s are not leaving for a bit unfortunately…

[#LisaRinna]

Y'all really hate male R&B and Tank especially! Damn

[.indulgecountry]

Female R&B >

...like in basically every genre tbh. #girlpower
