2005 FINALISTS & WINNERS |
The Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Awards honor the genres' most popular albums, songs, artists, and contributors, as determined by the actual sales and radio airplay data that informs Billboard's weekly charts. Finalists and winners reflect performance of recordings on Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop and Rap charts, during the one-year period from the May 29, 2004 issue of Billboard through the May 21, 2005 issue of Billboard. A new artist is considered any artist who has not appeared on a Billboard album chart prior to the March 27, 2004 issue or has not been a new artist finalist in the past.
