Without doing any research, I gotta say that I highly doubt that, besides, it wouldn't make him a better artist that is for sure.

There is absolutely no comparison what so ever between John Legend and Trey Songz....none.

JL doesn't need Drake to have a hit record.

Do some research then... Trey and JL are two totally different artist, and as far as pure R&B I won't argue that Trey is better. Simple fact, Trey is like the Lil Wayne of R&B. He's on everybody's stuff, he's hotter than any other R&B artist right now... Has been for a little while. Whether the dude can out sing anybody isn't the topic. I put him in as my nominee for "In their Prime" not as a "LEGEND".
Another thing, radio play is one thing but Trey is beasting the mix tape scene like none other as well... I know you know your stuff GahLee, and I know I can't prove it to you myself, but trust me on the streets Trey is what's happenin'....

I'd also see your John Legend, and raise you J Holiday... And if you would prefer a writer/artist, The Dream has had more radio play than John Legend, and wrote a lot of people's stuff...
Again, totally different artists, but still, these guys could be considered to be in their prime or to have next... (The Dream says he's done after this last album, though...)

I'm talking about timeless artists...20 years, 30 years from now I think that JL would still be listened to, not many people will remember TS or JH, JMO...artists like them are born everyday.

Kings of Leon
The Black Keys
Jack White
Lady Gaga (I don't like her at all. But her hitmaking potential is boundless. Like Madonna-level hitmaking ).

(Cue at least three "KOL sold out" threads. I will preempt. If you were one of the 70K+ who saw this band two weeks ago at Bonnaroo, you were likely uttering words like "epic" or "colossal" as you proceeded towards another stage. Quite possibly the best show I've ever seen. They killed.)

That's all i really got.. I know every generation says this as they get older but music for the most part sucks now.

I'm getting older too, and let me assure you that music right now does not suck. Music right now is actually really good. Maybe the top 40 stuff sucks (I stopped listening to the radio about the same time they refused to stop playing Nickelback), but there are a lot of good new bands/artists to be heard.

Legends don't have 16 y/o girls as their new fanbase after 4 albums.
