Despite failing to match the number of ‘wins’ landed by Hip-Hop in the last year, R&B found itself in good hands last year thanks to releases birthed by the likes of Ciara, John Legend, Tamar Braxton, Justin Timberlake, Beyonce and ‘Lose To Win‘ wonder Fantasia.

Quite interestingly, 2013’s ‘R&B / Hip-Hop Albums’ Year-End chart features a number of projects launched before 2013, telling of their quiet yet continued success on  commercial tip.

So, ever eager to keep you in the sales loop, we’ve compiled a number of the chart’s more notable entries, and have them waiting for you down yonder!
