But that's my point...(BTW, you are right...it went gold in March of 2011)...we are talking about an artist who was used to going 4 times platinum...Now he's creeped to gold...

And u know what? It shouldn't matter...

If the music is good, then it's good...

All to say the very same way you wrap yourself in record sales to boost certain acts and to downgrade others, it can be done to your own beloved acts...

Kells is now considered an older act...He's no longer getting played on the young stations...So using the "hotness" of an artist is silly...

Kells greatness lies in his talent and impact on R&B...Not on "holding things down"...
