It's lame cos it's not an R&B song, it's Dance. But I guess even radio doesn't know the difference anymore.
Exactly. 'Rude Boy' and 'Imma Be' stick out like sore thumbs on the Urban chart right now
And R&B songs like 'TSWABH', 'Sex Threapy' and 'I Am' took forever to go top 5 (I know Alicia and Mary's followed flops, but still) and are from establihed Urban acts.
'Rude Boy' and 'Imma Be' are both still a lot more Urban than something like 'Halo' though, which Urban played. 
No, I'm sorry, I don't agree. Just because 'Rude Boy' has some ghetto-fied lyrics doesn't mean it's Urban. 'Imma Be' is just as Pop as the other singles the BEP have released. 'Halo', on the other hand had a R&B-leaning beat IMO and considering BeyoncĂ©'s history at Urban radio, it was a no brainer that they would play it.
