Charlie Wilson Reclaims Record for Most Adult R&B Airplay No. 1s Among Male Artists
Just after Usher tied Charlie Wilson for the most No. 1s among male artists on Adult R&B Airplay, "Superman" helps Uncle Charlie reclaim the record.
Elsewhere, “Superman” dips 26-27 from its peak on the R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart, which ranks songs by combined audience totals from adult R&B and mainstream R&B/hip-hop radio stations. In addition to Wilson’s successful run as a solo artist, listeners may also know the man known as “Uncle Charlie” as the lead singer of his former group, The Gap Band. The trio – comprised of brothers Charlie, Robert and Ronnie – achieved 15 top 10s on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart between 1979 and 1990, including classics such as “Burn Rubber (Why You Wanna Hurt Me),” “Outstanding” and “You Dropped a Bomb on Me.”
