Is there any way that you can narrow your question?
In my opinion, even for the year 2002, the current question is
impossible to answer as a practical matter. Some artists record on
obscure labels, in the U.S. or other parts of the world. Other
artists may be difficult to classify as "R&B, Funk, or Soul," since
they might cross into categories such as pop, rock, rap, jazz, blues,
etc. And even if one could find every song from every album, one
would also have to search for B-sides of singles.
Perhaps there is a way to narrow the question to take account of these
problems. For example, you might limit the question to identification
of albums released in the first six months of 2002 on the 3 biggest
U.S. labels by groups that are typically classified as R&B, soul, or
funk.
Even then, the Researcher might come up with a less-than-perfect
answer. So perhaps you can also indicate how complete you need the
answer to be.
