1. R. Kelly "Love Letter" is JerkishBehavior.com's R&B album of the year because it was so unexpected and came out of nowhere from one of the all-time greats and King of R&B. Thats a rarity for a legend to release a great album and nobody even knows about it but thats exactly what R.Kelly did with "Love Letter". "Love Letter" is best because its all original next level R&B to its core and its so soulful. "Love Letter" is a game changer and lets the competition knows who is still KING, Chi-Town KELZ!!!

2. Donell Jones "Lyrics" is a perfect blend of uptempo, smoothed out, & soulful tracks that will keep you in a great mood and take you on a fun roller coaster ride that we all love in a R&B album. "Lyrics" proves that Mr. Jones still has alot of good music left in them with a great comeback album. Chi-Town wins again!!!

3. Cee-Lo "The Lady Killer" sees him dust off his singing talent with an original album that takes you back to the past with doo-wop tunes but the future with some out of this world tracks that you just can't deny how great they sound.

4. Trey Songz "Passion, Pleasure, Pain" was another strong album by "Heir To The Throne" where he kept it real sexy this time out and actually got back to his roots of singing strictly R&B not all the party/club bangers of the last album.

3. Lupe Fiasco "I'm Beaming" was one of the most simple but creative video of the year which brought to life the song even more especially for those who didn't fully grasp it. This was Lupe's reintroduction to the world after a lil hiatus which sparked his movement and highly anticipated drop of his album, LASERS!!!
4. Keri Hilson f/ Rick Ross "The Way You Love Me" shedded the good girl image with this video and showed the world she can compete with any female artists in the game when it comes to sex appeal but can you handle it? NO BOYS ALLOWED!!!
5. Jamie Foxx f/ Drake "Fall For Your Type" was the anthem for everyone who goes for a specific type of female/male and just cant resist no what they do. Jamie Foxx brought this situation to life perfectly with a great video and an even better leading lady who anyone would fall for over and over again, Damnit.
