Just look at how many are in blue versus black.... the blue ones represent music from about 2001 and up.... to current hits vs the black ones which represent old skool R&B

I think you'll be fine... I'm sure you have plenty of old skool R&B but, I'd be willing to bet that the predominance of music requested at the gig will be what's in blue.

What is the age group?
 
What is the age group?

B&G are in their early 30's. Guests are from late teens (just a few), mostly mid 20's to mid 40's. Very religious group, so I'm watching my choices carefully.

I said more recent because this recent category seems to be ignored by them, and I bet some of those requests ("Do you have anything from this decade?") will come up.

Thanks so far!! Keep them coming!

Thanks for the answer. Getting ready to go and deliver and install some Artwork for a Client, when I come back I will pull out the Lappy and give you a list of current R&B tunes. Remember to check the lyrics for adult content. It is not something about which I have to worry. Cya later, gator!
A few of them comes to mind as I type
Rude Boy - Rhianna
Daddy's Home - Usher
Your Love - Nicki Minaj
Un-Thinkable - Alicia Keys
There Goes My Baby - Usher
