Jordin Sparks

The R&B game this year was filled with breakthrough efforts, trap-soul introductions, vintage soul debuts and classic albums from your favorite artists. So we compiled a list of the Best R&B Albums of 2015.

We haven't seen or heard much from Jordin Sparks lately but that doesn't mean she's been twiddling her thumbs. In fact, she's been sharpening her acting skills for a couple of entertainment projects.

Jordin Sparks is known for her soulful voice and her vocals absolutely sparkle on the Salaam Remi-produced song, 'Chocolate Brown Eyes.'

Some of your favorite R&B artists are ringing in the holidays on the official soundtrack for the upcoming flick, 'The Best Man Holiday.'

'The Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete,' a dramatic film featuring Jennifer Hudson, Jordin Sparks and Anthony Mackie in addition to a few others, is set to open in select theaters on Oct. 11. The trailer shows just how dramatic circumstances are in the flick.

New school wins over the old in last week's R&B Sound Off when Jordin Sparks beat funk, dance veterans Earth, Wind & Fire. Sparks' bubbly 'Skipping a Beat' took 58.6 percent of the votes while Earth, Wind & Fire took 41.4 percent.

It looks like Trey Songz has done it. For the fourth week in a row, the R&B crooner has come out on top in TheDrop.fm's R&B Sound Off. Trey's 'Sensational' took 65.12 percent of the vote while R. Kelly's 'My Story' only received 34.88 percent of the vote. Last week's win means that Songz becomes the next artist to enter the R&B Sound Off Hall of Fame.

Jordin Sparks is back and she's in love. Do you want proof? Then listen to her new single, 'Skipping a Beat.' It's a sunshine-y love ballad from her upcoming album, currently untitled.

Getting her start on the sixth season of 'American Idol,' Jordin Sparks wowed audiences week after week and eventually won the title. She dropped her debut album in 2007, which also released one of her biggest singles to date: 'No Air,' her duet with Chris Brown...

One of the saddest moments in R&B came in February 2012, when the genre unexpectedly lost Whitney Houston. So it was only right to honor the late pop icon on the 'VH1 Divas' special last night. Whitney received a dance tribute fitting for a grand diva by songbirds Jordin Sparks, Melanie Fiona and Ledisi.
