Chris Brown is an American singer, song writer, dancer and actor. He made his first recording debut in 2005 with a self-titled album at the age of 16. The first album that he brought out featured his hit single ‘Run It’, which also topped the Billboard Hot 100, making Chris Brown the first male artist to have his debut top the charts, at the age of 16, since Montell Jordon which was in 1995. His first album sold over two million copies in the US and he received the Double Platinum from the recording industry Association of America.

In November 2007 Chris Brown brought out his second album ‘Exclusive’, with two very successful hits, with a number one single ‘Kiss Kiss’ featuring T-pain. The album also had another successful hit, ‘With You’ which peaked to number two in the Billboard top 100. Shortly after that he brought out a deluxe version of his album called ‘The Forever Edition’.

This album became a big hit in America and also in the UK. Most people that brought the album were really lucky to get it because in the first couple of days of it being out in the shops they were already sold out. This made a huge number of people start ordering online because they knew that it was going to be hard to get the CD from the shops. Overall, this album got a rating of  5 stars. Some of the producers and fans were quite surprised of how well the album turned out to be, mainly because it was brought out shortly after one of his other albums. All of the tracks on the CD on average have been rated 7 or above but most of them have been rated 9 out of 10 or even 10 out of 10 so this shows that this album went down really well with everyone.

In 2009 Chris release his third album Grafitti, which didn’t go down too well with fans, and earlier this year released his fourth album F.A.M.E, which has seen a return to the top of the charts for Chris Brown with singles like ‘Yeah 3x’ and ‘Look At Me Now’.
