Will adult contemporary R&B ever make a comeback?

[Memorial Stadium Piru]

The 702 thread had me thinking

In the 90s, it was nothing for a label to find a talented group of young black singers, get them in the booth, put a video or two on VideoSoul and have them go gold/platinum

Obviously, we've seen the wave of these groups die off, the theories as to why are abundant.

But my question is this: with the advent of streaming bringing the music industry a whole new check again, plus seeing how old R&B groups can still tour around the world and do HUGE numbers (XSCAPE IS SELLING OUT ARENAS IN 2017) could labels begin investing in R&B music again? Will we start hearing #BlackLove anthems on the radio?

Anyway - R&B would have to come back first before it could branch into "adult contemporary". lol

There is nothing "great" or "dope" about Tank's music.
He admitted that he sold out his art and dumbs down to make money, and then he got the nerve
to wanna chit on a real nicca like Brian McKnight.

He is the epitome of an average nicca that lucked up into being in the right era,
and if I see him on the street it's on on site.
