With seven No. 1s on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs tally and four consecutive chart-toppers on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, Alicia Keys has earned the title of Billboard’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop artist of the decade. Her 2001 debut album, “Songs in A Minor,” spent six weeks atop the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and launched a pair of top 10 singles, including the smash hit “Fallin’.”

Keys followed “Songs in A Minor” with “The Diary of Alicia Keys” (2003), “Unplugged” (2005) and “As I Am” (2007). With the exception of her third offering, each set ranks in the top 40 of the decade’s Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums. On Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, Keys’ No. 1 singles have led for 41 chart weeks, more than any other artist. Among them, “No One” and “Like You’ll Never See Me Again” combined for 17 consecutive weeks at No. 1.
