Now D'Agelo's music is having a resurgence on the music charts...
From Billboard
D’Angelo’s song catalog registered 16.1 million official on-demand streams in the United States for the tracking week of Oct. 10-16, according to Luminate, surging 796% from the previous week’s total of 1.8 million. 2000’s “Untitled (How Does It Feel)” was the strongest performer, with 2.5 million clicks in the period, with 1995 cuts “Lady” (2.2 million) and “Brown Sugar” (1.9 million) taking second and third place, respectively. The trio were D’Angelo’s three highest charting hits on the Billboard Hot 100: “Lady” reached No. 10, while “Untitled” claimed a No. 25 best and “Brown Sugar” maxed out at No. 27.
Largely thanks to those streams, all three tracks debut on the Hot R&B Songs chart, which launched in 2012. “Untitled” opens at No. 7, “Lady” begins at No. 8 and “Brown Sugar” starts at No. 10. Their arrival pushes D’Angelo to five entries Hot R&B Songs; the three join Black Messiah cuts “Really Love” (No. 14) and “Sugah Daddy” (No. 22), which peaked in January 2015, one month after their parent album’s release.
In addition to the streaming jump, D’Angelo’s song catalog sold 9,000 digital track downloads for the week, up from a negligible amount in the previous week. “Untitled” was the top seller, at 2,000 copies, and enters at No. 1 on the R&B Digital Song Sales chart.

It’s bittersweet to see D’Angelo’s music getting the recognition it deserves again after his passing. His influence on neo-soul was unmatched — timeless tracks like *“Untitled,” “Lady,”* and *“Brown Sugar”* will keep his legacy alive for generations.

Guilty.
Been streaming only his music non-stop since last week. He was so ultra-talented and under appreciated as a musician, composer and his studio production skills. His voice was butter and his music was the top tier.
Deangelo put out some great timeless work. He will live on forever through his music.
