Not sure, but why do you think other R&B artists like Bruno Mars, Justin Timberlake, Justin Bieber, Chris Brown, Beyonce, Robin Thicke, Alicia Keys, Rihanna, amongst many, many others, are some of the most popular artists in the music industry? Can you explain how they're so popular, but R&B still isn't a "high-selling" form of music?
Anyways, I think I see what you point is now. Nothing quality is popular. All of the most talented artists are still making good music, because the industry hasn't gotten to them yet, or they've turned down offers to go mainstream. The same can be said of almost every type of music. Rock sucks on the mainstream level too, but to say rock isn't selling would be a lie.
