context_page_description: Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs is a chart published by Billboard that ranks the top-performing songs in the United States in African-American-oriented musical genres; the chart has undergone various name changes since its launch in 1942 to reflect the evolution of such genres. In 1967, it was published under the title Hot Rhythm & Blues Singles. During that year, 14 different singles topped the chart, based on playlists submitted by radio stations and surveys of retail sales outlets.
  The most successful artist of the year in chart terms was Aretha Franklin. The singer spent seven weeks at number one between March and May with "I Never Loved a Man", and after a single week out of the top spot returned to the top of the chart with "Respect", which spent eight weeks in the peak position. Later in the year, Franklin gained her third chart-topper of the year with "Baby I Love You", which held the top spot for two weeks, giving the singer a total of 17 weeks at number one during 1967, more than double the figure achieved by any other act.
