R. Kelly’s album and streaming sales have boomed despite the recent sex-trafficking conviction of the musician, whose real name is Robert Sylvester Kelly.
Rolling Stone reported that after the guilty verdict, which was handed down in Brooklyn on September 27, Kelly’s music sales have improved. From September 27 to October 3, Kelly’s on-demand audio streams rose 22 per cent and video streams increased by 23 per cent compared with the previous seven days.
