The Most Played R&B Song in History

Which R&B song has been played more than any other? We investigate the question with ten legendary recordings, from Ben E. King's "Stand by Me" to Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean," and we follow the evidence rather than the hype. In this SOULIXR&B documentary, you will hear the untold stories behind The Chi-Lites, Bill Withers, The Temptations, Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell, Percy Sledge, Otis Redding, Earth, Wind & Fire, Ray Charles, Michael Jackson, and Ben E. King. We explain the difference between radio airplay, performance licensing records, and streaming, and why no single number settles the debate. Stay to the end for the final verdict and what the evidence really proves.
