Hi guys,

I may need some assistance from the RNB freaks amongst you. As some of you know, I mainly cover dance, trance and house genres, but may be getting some RNB related work. Given that I know bugger all about it, I need some assistance from you all, starting with a list of (say) the top 20 RNB tunes doing the rounds at the moment.

Also, do DJ's typically mix RNB, or is it more the domain of the scratch DJ ? Can anyone point me in the direction of some recent RNB sets ?

Thankyou all one again, I know you wont let me down!

Wouldn't say i'm an RNB freak but have had the following requested:

Justin Timberlake - Sexyback
Shakira Ft Wyclef Jean - Hips Don't Lie
Nelly Furtado Ft Timbaland - Promiscuous
Rihanna - We Ride
Gnarls Barkley - Who Cares
Akon Ft Eminem - Smack That
Nelly Furtado - All Good Things (Come To An End)
Justin Timberlake Ft Timbaland - My Love
Beyonce - Irreplaceable
Amy Winehouse - Rehab
Lemar - Someone Should Tell You
Chamillionaire - Grown And Sexy
Cassie - Long Way 2 Go
P Diddy Ft Nicole Scherzinger - Come To Me
Game Ft Junior Reid - It's Okay
Cassie - Me & U
Beyonce Ft Jay-Z - Deja Vu
Pussycat Dolls - I Don't Need A Man
Alesha - Knockdown
Notorious BIG / P Diddy / Nelly - Nasty Girl

What is this "mix" and "scratch" thing? - they just sort of fade into one another

Hi Moonie, I would say mixing RnB is not compulsory, although on some tunes I normally overlap the last 8 bars or whatever, and maybe just drop/fade others in.

The 1Xtra playlist is a good source of what is hot at the moment. I have found RnB nights to be less snobby than house type clubs, so playing whatever is in the top 40 won't damage your credability.

Here is a few that I played last night - I would also play most of the urban stuff in the top 40 (Justin Timberlake etc.)
Gwen Stefani - Wind It Up
Fergie - Fergalicious
Mary J Blige - MJB da MVP
Nas feat Will.I.am - Hip Hop Is Dead
Snoop Dogg feat R Kelly - That's That
Amy Winehouse Feat Ghostface - You Know I'm No Good
Chamillionaire Feat Dizzee Rascal - Turn It Up
Eminem Feat 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks & Ca$his - You Don’t Know
Jay-Z - Show Me What You Got
Lemar - Someone Should Tell You (Kardinal Beats Remix)
Nelly Furtado - All Good Things & No Hay Igual
Pussycat Dolls - Wait A Minute

I knew you guys would come up trumps again.
