En Vogue continued their reign with "Don't Let Go (Love)" (#19), and Blackstreet (with Dr. Dre) introduced the world to the slick production style of the late 90s with "No Diggity" (#13). These tracks laid the sonic blueprint for modern R&B, prioritizing smooth grooves and impeccable vocal layering.
