If Nielsen Music’s midyear report is indicative of a bigger trend, the news that embattled R&B singer R. Kelly has been arrested again could very well help his streaming numbers.

If Kelly is trending on social media, which he has been for the past day, listeners seem unconcerned about whether it’s for good or bad reasons. On Thursday,in Chicago after being indicted on 13 federal counts, including charges of child pornography, kidnapping and obstruction of justice.
Currently, Kelly has 4.9 million followers on Spotify, where his top songs have been played hundreds of millions of times. His “Ignition — Remix” has just shy of 400 million plays, and his “I’m a Flirt Remix ” has 41 million.

Hopefully he shares a cell with Jeffrey Epstein!!!
Scumbags don't appeal to me. So wrong.
Forget about who he is...uhhhh that's bad, real bad, nothing worse except maybe taking a life.

Bye!
It's R. Kelly, the PEDOPHILE. What good news could there be, except him receiving a life sentence in JAIL, withOUT the most remote possibility of parole.
