R. Kelly’s music sales increases over 500% after guilty sex crimes verdict
The uptick hasn’t just been music sales as the 54-year-old singer’s on-demand audio streams are also up by 22 percent. However, the ‘If I Could Turn Back The Hands Of Tim’ singer, who for years reigned over the world of R&B, still has music available on YouTube music and third-party uploads of his songs are still allowed. The R&B star, real name, Robert Sylvester Kelly, was found guilty in September of nine criminal counts, including the most serious of racketeering, following six weeks of testimonies accusing him of systematically recruiting women and teenagers for sex, before grooming and brutally abusing them.
