It’s come to our attention and Chris’s that retail stores across the Globe are refusing to sell Graffiti to fans, despite having the album in stock. The reason? Take a wild guess. It’s apparent that despite apologising God knows how many times about what happened between him and Rihanna in February, shops are hesitant to sell his CD’s to fans. Fans have already expressed their anger at the shops via Twitter and we encourage you to do the same. Here’s a few examples.

@avant_garde88 @MechanicalDummy my friend told me his manager told him that he doesn’t support woman beaters so he left them in the back when ppl asked.

@Parislovinlon20 @MechanicalDummy so i asked the manager did they ur album have it n she said no. then an eployee was watchin n snuck me 1 from the back.

@Celebrityboost @MechanicalDummy this gyrl said the store that she went 2 kept ur CD’s @ the back, & a employee who is ur fan had 2 sneak + give it 2 her.

You can raise awareness about the shop’s obvious “black balling” of Graffiti by putting #GraffitionRacks on all of your tweets. It’s already a trending topic. Or, you can sign this Twitter petition or make a petition and post it in the comments of this post and then retweet this post to encourage fans to sign it. Shops seem to think that they have the power to ruin someone’s career regarding an incident in which none of them were involved.

    Ugghhh… This Makes Me Really Upset!

  • chirs weezy

    it is the shop owners choice if they want to sell the cd or not, its not ours let them have there opinion!

    • http://intensedebate.com/people/aniya aniya

      NO! If they have the CD in stock and consumers are requesting it, to lie about your stock of the CDs or refuse to sell them to consumers is not right. Not only that, it's STUPID to turn away from a profit off of selling those CDs, all for the sake of some personal vendetta against someone who doesn't even know you (and vice versa,) let alone never even touched you.

      • chirs weezy

        yeah but is the profit worth the life of a young girl ( can you put a price on your life?)

        • Daonlycmbwifey (LOL)

          WhyTF RU on here n what does that have to do with music STFU

        • noodles

          If you really feel that way instead of supporting this fucked up shit of not putting a album that people want on shelves go join an organization about domestic violence. Not putting his cd out is not the way to save a little girls life thats just people being idiotic and selfish and a way for both them and the store to lose money. Putting a album out won't make someone think it is ok to beat girls anyone with sense knows that and if you don't know that then your the one that needs help. If you really wanna help girls then join a charity about domestic violence you dumb fuck!! What if a little girl is tired of this madness and kills herself!! There are people that are crazy and do that. And if people are dumb enough to think this means supporting domestic violence they are dumb enough to do something dumb and crazy over this shit.

        • michelle

          Hell, he can't go near her. So how is keeping consumers from buying his cd helping her! Further, if they don't want you to buy it refuse the shipment. This behavior is some ol' bitchassness, like you chirs weezy. I going to amazon to buy some cds. YOU chirs can do the same. Further, I bet the real victims of domestic violence could better use your energy instead of your complaining on this site.

        • CB Fan

          she didn't die.

          • http://intensedebate.com/people/aniya aniya

            Exactly. That girl is still walking around with that fucked up hairdo. She is alive and well.

    • noodles

      Get your ass off this website being a hater! Selling his album won't make domestic violence right at all so who ever thinks that since Chris Brown's album is out that makes domestic violence right and you can beat a girl your just dumb. In no way does a album being sold connect to domestic violence being ok and if some how it does connect then that is morer of your issue then Chris's because he can only influence you so much whatever else you get from this situation is your problem.

    • noodles

      —-CONTINUED MESSAGE—-
      And the manger's refusing to put the album on the shelves aren't shop owners so I'm sure if the main person in charge of target knew all this they wouldn't be happy because they had to pay Jive for the cds and only get a profit from selling it so now they are losing money over people own issue at Chris over something that didn't even happen to them. And if they didn't want the cds sold they wouldn't have brought enough copies for them to still be in the back. So I'm pretty sure the main person in charge of these stores don't know excatly whats going on thats why the mangers think they can do this but if the person in charge of these stores find out then I'm sure they'd be fired.

      • michelle

        I agree noodles report all bitchassness to the manager and if need be the district manager and regional manager if need be. Then we your ass is canned for not doing your job you can have a PERSONAL and REAL problem with Chris Brown.

        • noodles

          Excatly this shit didn't happen to them and I know what he did was wrong but there is no need to get so personal about it. Not only are you messing with him and his money when you refuse to put more cds on shelves. Your messing with the money you could be getting and you are messing with the person's money that is at the head of all these stores. And then thats when you start to get fired and now your out of a job and jobs are hard to come by these days so now you are just out of luck for creating a personal problem with someone that doesn't even know you. Its stupid I bet you that Graffiti was one of the main things people went into stores for this week. About four peoples albums came out but Chris's and Timbaland's were probably the only one people went to go get.

  • CB Fan

    right twitter took #GraffitionRacks off the TT list, keep tweeting it!

    • http://intensedebate.com/people/ilovebreezyx ilovebreezyx

      What Is TT list Am Like New To Twitter So Dont Really Get It ?

  • ciara stan

    she could of and you can not deny the fact that there could be another victim one day we never saw the first one coming!

    • http://intensedebate.com/people/aniya aniya

      I see that you're back. Please stop acting like y'all really care about domestic violence. Otherwise, go donate or volunteer at a DV org and cut the foolishness out. It's one thing to not but his album. Whatever, do what you want with your money. It's another thing to keep his CDs off the shelves. If other people want to buy it, that should be none of your concern.

    • noodles

      Not another victium from him. I hate people that think this is gonna happen again he is taking classes if they thought that these classes didn't help at all there wouldn't be any! And I really want someone to tell me what selling this dude's album has to do with people and there issues with domestic violence! So does selling Lil Waynes album means that it ok to smoke weed because thats how ya'll are treating Chris. Its the same type of thing with everyone. If thats the case don't sell anyones albums at all because I don't support rihanna saying its ok for young girls to send naked pictures to there boyfriend cause you don't know what he will do with them. I don't support Lady GaGa telling people it ok to be a freak I always don't support Kanye doing the dumb shit he does. But selling anyones album after they do fucked up shit can be sending the wrong message but they chose to pick on this kid.

    • michelle

      Bitch please, if they is or were a FIRST victim, Feb. 8, 2009 would 've never happened because this imaginary person would've came out before Chris could've attained ANY level of success. Further, the media would've dug them up like they did Ericka to try and tell them so dirt. Boo and Bye!

      • ciara stan

        when i said there could be another victim i meant there could be another one in the future!

        • noodles

          —–Continued Message——-
          But the same people I listed before can do whatever it is and not say sorry but you play their music and movies and little kids are watching this shit and are easily influenzed and they think its cool to be a pill popper or think its ok so they do it. And its all because people thinks it ok to show them on tv. Well its not. And those people that do worser stuff then Chris all the time don't ever really say sorry for there actions cuz they don't care how it might influenze younger fans. Chris brown should be the least of are problems of influenzing kids to do bad things in the entertainment world. In fact he is one of the only good role models we got left but if people want kids or let kids think its ok to be a fucking weed smokers or pill poppers or even ok to send your boyfriend naked picturesd then whatever. The world is just shit these days its sad. I think 2009 was the worst year for stars everywhere hope 2010 is better cuz this shit is annoying.

          • michelle

            Co-sign 1 million percent on what you just said.

        • noodles

          Just shut the fuck up and go away you hater. Did you not see the name of the site. This isnt a site where you fucking bash him take your ass to celeb bitchie or something. The only reason you agree with this happening is because he messed up. This shouldn't happen to anybody never in my 15 years of life have I seen the media pick on a young man so much. You got rappers out here killing people, singers raping little girls, sport players doing fucked up shit, and actors getting fucking high and pill popping and falling out in Hollywood. And this happens everyday and the same people do it all the time they even did it before they were famous. But people chose to pick on this dude that messed up once and said sorry like 100 times.

        • michelle

          No, I doubt that since there wasn't another one in the past. Most abusers have a disorder call NPD. Read up on it here: http://www.narcissismcured.com/ Narcissism Cured.html To me this sounds more like Rhi(whose refused any type of help), which as "victim" she ALSO needs!

  • Breezythabestforeva

    Darn those facking haters, chirs weezy?!? You Are No Fan At All!
    Worthless idiot, support chris or get out,
    even i'n my place they don't sale graffiti, unbelievble!

  • Ninja_Pixie

    I wonder wut states these are in I live in Houston and I went to Walmart the other day and They had his music right there in da open on the new releases shelf with everybody else.

    I dont know how da fuck this shit concerns them this is almost a fuckin year he made a mistake apologized for it and is gettin help kinda fuckin disgusting the way people are actin.

  • nieka

    ok people we cant stop them from doing that but we can buy his music whereever we can..we need to help by putting our money with our mouth his..he can only be great from us..

  • brad

    this is fucken rediculous like they nake it like chris killed someone yes he did something that was wrong.. he payed for his mistakes.. now to do this is just complete bullshit let the guy breathe his album is amazing to begin with so this is fucked up i see him tommrow in concert we should let him no

    • Breezy4life

      if they don't have his album in stock, they should complain to the store owner if its a manager. And if it's the store owner, the better business bureau. I'm in Atlanta and It was on the shelves here at Target. Today is the 4th day since the release. I think alot of people are just playing the number game.

  • no comment

    wow just wow is all I got at this point

  • http://intensedebate.com/people/Chelleee Chelleee

    That's just stupid. It doesn't even matter to them! Wow, wtf.

  • Selena

    I want all the record stores/any stores to know, this young man has gone through enough. Give him a break. He has learnt from his mistake. Why deny the album, you're making money when you sell something anyway. The truth: "Let this baby live, and don't judge him because of one incident. There are more celebrities out there that have made bad judgements, including serving time in jail, but they were older. You are judging a child and most offenses are adults. The only reason you are denying his album is because is was Rihanna, if he hit an unknown person, his album would be on the stands (go figure………)

    • michelle

      That's what I said too. SInce he hit the "pop princess" then he can't be forgiven. He not the only celebrity to hit a woman. Jay-Z is on video hitting a woman twice and the same people calling Chris a punk, woman beater, etc. is still buying ol' boy's cds and his bs.

  • Symone

    The retailers could care less about Rihanna or real abuse victims! The real motive is to stop someone that looks like Chris from succeeding,so the hypocrisy continues! Truth be told if we as consumers had to depend on any given artist "supposed good virtue",there would be no music in this world.Most creativity comes out of those who may be" conflicted" in some way,as in most of us that walk this earth! Well anyway I got multiple cd's Tuesday and I will be going out today to get more!

    • michelle

      That's right Symone there are no perfect people, let alone perfect celebrities(heck them more anyone because the media is always waiting for something to tear you down with).

      • Symone

        Exactly!

  • CarolineM919

    This is 1,000,000% Bull$hit like wtf is wrong with ppl these days like tha situation happened at February of 2009, and it's gettin close to January of 2010. PPL COME ON IT'S FUCKIN GETTIN OLD AND CHRIS HAD SAID SORRY ALOT AND HE NEEDS A FREAKIN BREAK…AND H3LL YEAH THAT I'M SUPPORTIN CHRIS BREEZY NOT 100% BUT 1,000,000%…SO PLEASE MEDIA, AND STORE MANAGERS ALSO, STOP HURTIN CB'S FEELIN'S AND RESTOCK HIS NEW ALBUM GRAFFITI AND MOVE ON AITE!!! and for Chris Brown fans I have myspace and twitter so for myspace it's http://www.myspace.com/carolinem919 and for twitter http://www.twitter.com/carolinem919

  • X, Y, "and Z"

    Hey,

    I just wanted everyone to know, I used the link that Sharrod posted and copped it at Amazon and ONLY paid like under $6.00 for it! And, I say this without ANY exaggeration, I bought it some 12X's!

    I'm gonna see if I can send Sharrod the proof, that is, the receipts Amazon emails me. But I think I just spent over $60.00 and you know what? I think it's money WELL WORTH IT!

    All together, this'll be WELL over 10x's that I got 'Graffiti'!! Listen, use the link Sharrod posted, go to Amazon and get it! Now, I REALLY want to see what the numbers are, you know?

    X,Y, "and Z" — OUT!

  • http://intensedebate.com/people/GB09 GB09

    Are you people serious?………………….First please learn how to spell to be taken seriously. Is Chris really this immature to believe that a few apologies will suffice. These retailers care about image, anyone say Tiger……………. Chris ranting like a 2 year old "about me, me, me" shows the world he probably hasnt learned anything. I know for me and my family second chances are a given, but he needs to take time, and truly SEEM remorseful, not pissed because he is losing money. His friends/family are not helping him–he needs to grow the _________ up

    • noodles

      I'm sick of you fucking haters coming on this site. Yes he went off but whatever. And when you are typing a message you dumb fuck spelling doesn't really have to be correct. This isn't an english paper what are you like 40. And I don't know what person that wouldn't have went off like that because the stores that are doing that are treating him wrong. But to you its ok to do that and its not. I don't understand how he is showing he hasnt learned anything and if you read he wasnt going off about me me me. He just simply told haters to kiss his ass as he should. Its about time he said that. He paid the price and its over and done and has been nice and said sorry so when stores go and do this it is time to go on a rant and get upset. When someone is really messing with you and your money like that I'm sure you would do the same. And we all get mad and I'd rather him go on a cursing rant then do something like get drunk and do some dumb Kanye shit or something. He's been remorseful but I think thats a reason to seem piss which he really hasnt really been for awhile.

      • http://intensedebate.com/people/GB09 GB09

        No haters here, an opinion. I'm not 40 if that really matters. People seem so mad at retailers-thats business. I am sure Chris understands business. I would understand media craziness will end and bid my time. I am a huge music fan-but realistic.

        • Daonlycmbwifey (LOL)

          How long do u expect him to hang his head? YRU ON HERE IF U gonna say ish this is a chris brown fan site you know something for FANS so if u anit a fan of him GO HEAD WIT ALL THAT

          • http://intensedebate.com/people/GB09 GB09

            I am not his judge, or a hater………………..this is realistic business, thats all.

            Its also ASSUMED I am not a Chris fan——————-u can still buy it so whats the problem…………….thats what real music fans do…….find the music not pay attention to the drama–

        • michelle

          ON twitter, as in texting, words are abbreviated. Further, he went everywhere showing remorse and saying sorry. He has taking lumps daily without saying anything hateful trying to be positive. How would you react from people coming at you with negative and hateful comments, threats daily in person. (While you trying to complete your court ordered punishment). On a vehicle for your fans and twisting everything that you say to make you look like an ass. Meanwhile anything positive you do isn't reported. Then to top it all off, they try to stop you from providing for yourself financially. HOW ARE DO ACT?

        • michelle

          NO this behavior is not business but BS. Business is making money off what consumers want and getting it their hand as soon as possible. You're not being realistic but pessimistic and I bet haven't even purchase a copy

    • X,Y,"and Z"

      @GB09 —

      If YOU ask a question, you usually place a question mark (?) at the end! Seems Chris isn't the only one in need of some…."help!"

      There is nothing wrong with being passionate 'bout music!!

      • http://intensedebate.com/people/GB09 GB09

        You are right, my mistake—-see how easy that is……………………pass it along to Chris, its called sincerity

        Passion is what makes music unique——————–dont let someone we ALL DO NO EVEN KNOW bring it down———————————–thats exactly what Chris has done , NOT from his mistake-from his HANDLING of situation

        • noodles

          Shut up you sound dumb you don't even make sense. And you said pass it on to Chris your not even sorry so shut up. And your messages are to confusing to read so I don't even care. And I'm pretty sure he understands business too thats why he is so upset because him and for the most part everyone understands that this kinda shit isn't right and doesn't happen. Dumb ass hater!!!

          • http://intensedebate.com/people/GB09 GB09

            You are funny "noodles".

            Are you four years old?

            If I was Chris I sure would want you as a fan

            Still confused??

            C YA

          • noodles

            Yea bitch I know I'm funny but na I'm not four years old but good comeback it was so intellgent. Not!!!! The only thing I'm still confused about is why you are still on this site if you aren't really a fan just makes you look like a dumb ass hater with nothing else to do. And I know you really wouldn't want me as a fan if you were Chris Brown but thats why you aren't as amazing as him. I know Chris Brown appreciates all his fans. But I'm starting to think you are a four year old because they don't know when to quit and they can't type. Sounds just like you because you have no idea where to put your periods question marks or lines. And you talk about everyone elses typing. But thanks for the laughs lol always nice to see a hater that doesn't know what they are talking about. And you obvisouly can't read this is a fan site its not for haters by the way.

        • X,Y,"and Z"

          @GB09,

          And what, might YOU suggest, I pass along to 20 Y/O Breezy that you, a 40Y/O can't, or who, themselves, is lacking-thereof?

          Given the conviction of his protestations, is HE not sincere in his redemption? And is NOT music/performing a part of 'said-construct?' I should think I'd NOT have to ask, as said should be obvious!

          So NOW, we're left with the hidden, and yes, REAL meaning, if not Intent of YOUR…'badgering' : to somehow further an agenda of "shout-downs," "brow-beatings," and "guarded-entitlement!"

          Back to the lecture at-hand: "All DO NO EVEN KNOW bring it down" — HUH?!?!? So this is 40 Y/O 'hip-speak?'

          I'll leave you with 'food-for-thought': So, I take it, you think Tiger Woods handled THAT – "enraged jealous golf-club-swinging-wife-situation pretty well, right?" As long as he didn't 'put HIS hands' on her, is this what you're getting at?

          Well, if you are: It's no stretch, to think, that their two, very young, children COULD have been in that Escalade, along with Elin and witnessed her rage; not too far-fetched, also that, they could have been driving along – , but ONLY to have the 'bucolic and soothing sights and sounds' of 'family-life' interrupted by Elin's attacks on Tiger.

          This ALL brings me to my question: what if Tiger's ONLY means of avoiding an accident was to THEN hit Elin?
          Would YOU then say he was wrong for exercising his ONLY 'option' in an attempt to 'get her off-him,' AND to keep his children, and HER, safe?

          "We" are NOT in agreement WITH YOU! You're use of "plurality" shows that you're unsure of your position/argument, I might dare-to-say, you suffer from, a lack of YOUR convictions!

          X,Y,"and Z" — OUT!

    • *Janae*

      You know what i don't understand if this is a fansite…why in the fuck are you on here talking shit. If you don't like the man make a site to talk shit on. It makes no sence at all. And why in the fuck does he have to say sorry to us anyway…he didnt do anything to me or you. Why do people think that celebrities owe us their lives? He is a singer because he loves music,not so he can have people in his business all of the time. There are so many talented black men in the world who make one mistake and the media feels that they should pay for it all their lives. I mean look at Rihanna…shes always talking about crazy shit but then u ask her about it and she says she is just being herself now. Doesn't that say anything to you? This situation has nothing to do with that. WRONG IS WRONG no matter how u flip it !!!!! This is a place for people who LOVE & SUPPORT him !!!!!!!!!!! GO SOMEWHERE ELSE !!!!!!!! PUSSCAKE !!!!!!!!!!!

    • Symone

      What you need to do is stop acting as if you can "judge " Chris heart! The real truth is that those that feel as you do in management positions at retail stores should not impose your personal views on the music buying public! If a retailer is in the business to sell music and then Chris should not be treated any differently than the rest of the artists just because his issue was made public!

      The biggest problem that Chris has to deal with are people that have UNRESOLVED issues of abuse that you project on Chris who has nothing to do with who abused you! I'm so sick of hypocrites who sit on thrones of judgement as if you are God,when you are just as imperfect as any other human being!

      When it comes to you idiots that feel he has not shown enough remorse,I ask who the hell are you! The real truth is that hypocrites that judge Chris will never be satisfied with anything he does and thank goodness you are not relevant to the betterment of his spirit!

  • noodles

    @GB09
    He can only be remorseful for so long. When you mess up are you remoreful for a whole fucking year no. No one ever is and he should be pissed at what stores are doing because its not right at all so for him to go off and express his feelings through twitter is better then some things he could have done. Yeah maybe he just could have called up his manger and stuff but it is about time he has got pissed at something. He didn't get pissed when that lady kept calling him a fucking beater he just kept it pushing because man or women I would have turned around and slapped that bitch. There is so many other things he could have went on a rant about over the last 10 months but he's handled it as well any person being faced with judgement could have. So I'm gonna let him go off this once because for once I think he should.

    • J93

      Totally agree with you, i couldnt take all the shit he's taken and he's taken it well. People exspect him to sit there and keep his mouth shut? i don think so! He's mad yeah and now he's probably upset, like you said, theres worse things he coulda done then rant. x

      • JAZZY

        YAY!! THTS GREAT NEWs!!!:]

  • Heyley

    I really can't stand this. Especially people saying that his fans are ignorant? Well guess what? I'm most likely smarter than all the "haters" I get my education at the top catholic/private h.s in New York City and I can tell real music and Chris' is REAL music. He is a talented artist and deserves to be recognized as a talented artist than a woman beater. Every single person has made mistakes. At one point we all wish to forget about what we have done whether what we did was major or minor, we all want to forget. But for Chris is different he has the public eye staring at his every move. Do you want someone starring at you non stop every single day? I think not. I understand is frustration. He's not able to be his goofy self anymore, why?! Because he has to satify everyone. He is HUMAN. If you people ever learned anything in English class than you know that chivalry doesn't exist, why? Because the character is HUMAN, they're suspose to make mistakes, it's in our nature to make mistakes and we learn from them. Just because he did it once does not mean he will do it again. Just because some other men or women hit another person and repeat it does not mean there aren't people who learn and don't repeat. Where is the hope for people? Everyone is just selfish and know nothing, people are closeminded and ignorant. Why don't you go listen to your music where the lyrics are revolting. When all they rap or sing about is smoking weed, having sex with girls and leaving them(not even making love to them), and getting drunk. Go do your retarded little dances with songs that make no sense. Do all that and ignore Chris' music that he does sing about love and not just a one night stand. From all the artist now in days, i only see Chris as a role model because even though he did a mistake he is trying to fix it. If you want go buy "weezy's" album and damage your mind with all the weed, go buy "rihanna's" and send naked pictures to your boyfriend and go kiss random girls at clubs and get drunk(if you don;t believe this go and listen to her interview with angie martinez). Go support these so called artist who don't even use their real name. But you know what? I'm not going to support them. Why? Because I SUPPORT TALENT, I SUPPORT A STAR, I SUPPORT CHRIS BROWN. And I WILL buy even more copies of his album

    • noodles

      I don't think he will do it again all though people have said once a man hits a women he will do it agian and statics prove it and blah blah blah. Well lets review some statics and chances that Chris Brown has already broke.
      1. Was able to become a singer/songwriter/actor coming from a small town that has only 2,000 people in it. The chances of that weren't even one in a million the chance of that was 0.
      2. Him being a R&B singer and his debut single being number one. Thats only happened one other time before him he was the second to do that. And coming from such a small town and the chances of that period are slim
      3.The chances of beating Rihanna. That wasn't expect that was something that I thought had 0 chances of happening never imagined it.
      So he broke all of those statistics he can break it again with breaking the cycle of beating women.

      • Heyley

        statistics are never a fact. they're statistics.
        but i love your list.
        lets make CB # 1 !

        • noodles

          Thats what I'm saying people always try to predict what he will do next based stastics but based on that list it shows he doesn't live by dumb stastics.
          Thanks for loving my list lol!!!

        • michelle

          Those stats are for repeat offenders( you those who beat everyone repeatedly they're in a relationship with) not first and only time offenders.

      Yes it amazes me when people try to say that were dumb and ignorant. I graduated from high school with a 3.0 and also with and advanced diploma. It's discusting how people won't gvie him a chance to redeem himself. Ok he made a mistake damn get over it. He's apologized, let the public in on a major break up, he's gone to court and the world has had to see it. At the end of the day they're artists and as being artists the only thing they owe the world is music nothing more nothing less. And people are criticizing him for lashing out but they need to realize they're the reason for him doing it. It's not easy for him to be the goofy Chris Brown that he is anymore. They rather see him always miserable and depressed which is un human and unrealeastic. I"m always going to support him no matter what because I make mistakes, he makes mistakes, you make mistakes, we all make mistakes.

      • http://intensedebate.com/people/aniya aniya

        They want him to be miserable and depressed like them. They can't understand how he's gone through what he's been and still able to maintain his sanity.

    • noodles

      I'm to sad to see it because I wanted to go to the show but couldn't the New boys were even there watching this is gonna be depressing. My first chance to see him in concert and I missed it. I hope he comes to baltimore again hopefully it will be during the summer so I won't have to be sorrunded by school stuff.

      • Heyley

        don't worry, i bet you'll get your chance this coming summer.
        I've been to all his NYC shows, and he's amazing. But I'm upset that I won't be attending the nyc show for the fan appretiation tour. this will be my first CB concert that I missed. I'm upset it sold out before i got money. So I've been trying to win them on the radio and no luck. I even tried the official fan site, ecause they were running a contest(fan of the week) and well I don't know what happened. I guess they just ended it. So now I'm down that I'll be missing it unless some miracle happens.

        • Jeffrie

          i know how you feel im going to see his concert. but i missed out on the M & G tickets. and i really wanted to meet him especially after seeing him in concert and seeing his interviews

  • Jeffrie

    Guys I bought a copy of graffiti this is my 2nd copy i got

  • noodles

    Well these dumb mangers are probably gonna get fired when the people at the head of these stores find out because they honestly don't care what he did all they know is Chris's albums are a way to make a big profit espically with all his crazed fans. So if they find out that mangers aren't putting a cd on shelves that everyone is demanding and they have more in the back the head of these stores are gonna be mad because for one they are letting there selfish reasons get in the way of making a profit and they are making the store lose money. And these mangers are messing with there money to because the more cds sold also means they get money from the store. I'm gonna see if this is in violation of something because say if you didn't like barbie you just don't decide you aren't gonna put here on shelves because thats not right.

  • noodles

    Have you guys heard the song Graffiti its off his new album it was the song off of the album trailer at the end. Heres the link on youtube

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ohv4c9t81X8

    • michelle

      This song has AWESOME lyrics. I wonder did he write it? This is what I'm talking about, he has true talent. Like he said he always "have award shows rocking" which is why I haven't bother to look at any since FEb. 8th and won't unless he going to be on one. A lot of people perform and they scan the crowd and nothing but crickets.

      • noodles

        The only good one has been the Bet one with the micheal jackson tribute. And the only thing that could/would have made it better is chris being there. Sure ne-yo was good with the singing but he can't excatly dance like micheal jackson. Chris can dance and sing like him and is one of the only ones there that could have moon walked for real. jamie Foxxie's little fake moon walking wasn't good for a tribute Chris's would have been awesome but I guess its the thought that counts.

  • Stephanie

    hey guys i was at walmart in Glenolden Pa, and in New Jersey 2 day (12/12) just want to let you know it was on display under the new release section. Because if it wasn't i was ready for the fight with the store for my ChrisBrown cd. even though i have one already and ordered the Deluxe also,. I am also going to see him at the Electric Factory in Philadelphia. Can't wait.

  • ELLA

    all the people that dont wat to sell his album can suck big balls and tats so fucked up caus etrust me ill get that cd one way or the other kk so blahhh bicthes and i wanted tat shit fa ma b day thats fuckin crazy i dont care im gettin that cd like fuck off

  • CarolineM919

    also i asked my mom to get me a graffiti cd for christmas and also i told my oldah sis to get me a graffiti cd for christmas too so that'll be a total of 3 copies i'm gonna have!!! (tha 1st copy i have is tha deluxe version with a 6 foot poster included)

  • noodles

    I feel so dumb you know the song "Movie" off his album. Well I didn't get what he was talking about at first lol! Now I get it I had to listen to it like 3 times before I got it because I really wasn't listening to the words. Gosh I swear I'm slow like the song Lolipop when it first came out and when it said "lick the rapper" i though it was talking about the rapper of the loilpop then like 2 weeks later I got that he was a rapper and she wanted to lick him lol I'm so slow sometimes.

    • michelle

      @ first I thought he was saying "wrapper" and thought well that just dumb. LOL

  • chianne

    Back to the problems on the racks….I went to hot-shot Borders to get my 2nd copy (of course they had Rated R on the New Releases rack). The guy said he had it (not sure where he "had it"). I asked if he had the deluxe, he said no, checked his computer, and said they only had one copy in the store, had been sold. And he said " ya know, he isn't really selling that well right now." My blood started to boil. He said 'do you want me to checkl other stores?' They even had the new VIBE (Chris on cover) well hidden in their mag shelves.

    WHOA – this all does smell a little rotten – I wouldn't have imagined it. But hey, Breezy – it is what it is. Watch your promo video – you KNOW you're having to start again. Its crawl/walk time – just hold your head up, count your blessings, and know you'll be up and running – next album.

  • wtf

    @ chaine you should have asked how can it not be selling if it just came out..you should have demanded it..you should have told i am not comming back to your store ever again..

    they did that here and i demanded it and they brought it from the back..if it is not on shelves when i go i will cause a scene..watch the space..i will be back to tell u guys what happened.

    if they tell u guys is not there, make sure u make it a point to tell them that u will never comeback again and are going to tell your friends….there is power in the consumer..dnt walk away, tell them!!

  • noodles

    I don't think this is happening everywhere. Like someone said they live in texas and his cds are selling there. I would say that maybe at the most only 20 states are doing this maybe…….
    But @ Chaine what do you mean the guy said he isn't doing that well. First of all how would he know because the numbers dont come in until wednesday and if you aren't gonna sell his album then you really dont know how many people are buying it. Its all good this situation is only making people buy it more online and when people see it in a store they grab as many copies as they can before they are sold out. People just are dumb why should you care what he did if people are buying now the people that are doing this are burning a hole in there pocket. And if it were me doing that shit I really wouldn't think it was worth it to lose money I could be getting over something that didn't happen to me. I really don't understand what Chris did to these people they act like they are Rihanna. Gosh!!!!!

  • dladystarr

    i think all of chris brown's fan should get together and file some kind of lawsuit against retailers and radio stations. I sure they are going against civil liberties rights or something. who's game.

  • Tick

    Unfortunately for me in Poland, where I come frome, Graffiti still isn't available at all ;/

  • Anya

    GIve me a damn break, aint no enough stores in this country that arent sellin his album to cause his cd to flopp. THis is all becuase chris didtn stay low under the radar until everyone excepted his apology, he seemed to worryed about his money and his alubm over the fact that some less then effected excuses were going to help speed up the forgiving process. NO store is going to refuse to sell an album becuz of ethical reasons then turn around and sell some drug dealers and other domestic abusers albums. CHris had this coming, and should have waited alot longer than a couple months…the issue happened in february, not everyon forgives….obiviously now fans see that

    • noodles

      So all I'm getting from you is that you think this is alright. Well if thats how you feel read the post again because this isn't for people who support this nonsense. If he is ready to move on in life people can't stop him. Damn the boy needs to live he is young people make mistakes this shit is annoying and is getting way to out of hand. And all fans see now is people being stupid and taking up a personal problem with Chris even though he didn't do anything to them. Gosh go look up the video of Jay-Z smaking a women! But wait no one knows about that. I wonder why??? Its because she wasn't famous!! Its became so much more of a bad situation when people knew it was Rihanna because before that people was just like Oh well thats weird and moved on. Fucking people are stupid these days just fuckin petty for no damn reason!!!!!!!!

      • Michelle

        I co-sign 1,000,000%

    • Michelle

      It hasn't been a couple months it's been 10! Further, he's been talking about Graffti since Dec. 08 further there are people who are NEVER GOING TO FORGIVE HIM. So, like he said they kiss his ass, because done all he could do. If they won't to run their blood pressure up holding a grudge its their problem not his. Also, lawyers don't work for free and he has the right to work at his chosen profession.

    • http://intensedebate.com/people/aniya aniya

      Girl, go back to RD.

  • Lannie

    This is craziness. Why are they doing this to him? He made a mistake, why are they not willing to let him move on? If they're so against "woman beaters" they should take Sean Penn movies out of their stores and all the other public figures who have been involved in DV situations. I think his celeb friends should speak out and let the world know that they support him & his music. They should tell their fans to get the album & speak out against this black balling. His record label needs to up their game as well & get his NEW songs some air play. His old songs are great, but without hearing new ones no one will know about the album. I live in southern CA & I have only heard ICTY on the radio twice & that was on an all request station. However, the other stations play NO AIR, WITH YOU, & THE DAVID BANNER SONG (IDK THE NAME) like they're new. The media tends to think that if you support Chris, you're against Rihanna or vice versa & that should not be the case. There is room for both of them to be successful. Everyone makes mistakes, It's not fair to try to hinder his success because of the mistake that he made a year ago.

  • upyours

    woman beater!

  • http://intensedebate.com/people/rekeenarae rekeenarae

    SO i BELIEVE THIS IS GETTING OUT OF HAND. I WENT TO WALMART OF ALL PLACES, AND IT WASNT THAT HIS ALBUM WASNT STOCKED BECAUSE IT WAS THERE. BUT IT SLIGHTLY TICKED ME OFF BECAUSE, SINCE HIS ALBUM WAS RELEASED, THEY HAVE NOT HAD HIM IN THE NEW RELEASE SECTION. THEY HAVE HIM HIDDEN IN THE LONG AISLES. AND THE WORST PART IS THAT HE WAS UNDER FREAKIN DISNEY CHANNEL!!!!!!!! AND ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS WERE SITTING AT THE VERY TOP OF THE NEW RELEASE SECTION!!!!! I TOOK PICTURES! UGHHH IT TICKS ME THE HECK OFF!

  • AbbyLuvsCb

  • Michelle

    Some good news for me. I got that new Vibe with Chris on it and he looks awesome inside.:D;)

  • ny ny

    To be honest, I believe all Chris wants is a fair and level playing field. I personally went into the best buy in my area and was told the CD was sold out. I actually believed them and left the store empty handed. I have since purchased the cd on Amazon, however after listening to how Chris personally listened to his fan base and visted retail stores to see if his CD's were not being displayed, it made me become a even bigger chris brown fan. I can't recall any artist of his caliber doing this on behalf of his fan base. I have since returned to Best Buy and the CD is actually on display on new release shelves and I purchased 5 more as stocking stuffers. Thanks Chris for listening and taking action.

  • chianne

    Cool move – relocating all the Graffiti CDs in the aisles to the new release stand. At my BestBuy, there wasn't room on the new release stand. Ri was there, but hey – this ain't a competition. They both should be there. They were BOTH stacked up big in the aisles. Hard to say all the whys. I do think anticipated sales are more key in a store than what manager thinks of Chris. Its his fans that are buying (mostly) – We are still out here, and we will FIND that CD.

    And great article someone pulled up from Billboard, where the Exec. for Charts says the sales picture looks perfectly OK for Chris, that his fan base is still solid and 'energized.' Whatever other shit out there about Graff. being a flop – ain't true according to BILLBOARD – !

  • chianne

    And oh yeah, VIBE pics are REALLY wonderful – cover, and also full page mug-shot inside. Really good article. Interesting comment about he and Ri working it all out (maybe) if not for the media kill (just that picture was the end of CB's rise, for now) and legal mess.

    Support VIBE for doing this, and buy it, despite price. Other good articles too – I was up all nite!!

  • |(*)^(*)|

    THE BEST WAY TO PURCHASE CHRIS BROWN'S MUSIC or anyone that your support is either digital or online…

    The one thing that does not lie is the digital/internet footsteps that are created everytime we log on and surf the net…this is not a battle for twitter fans or the media…this is a battle best left to the "corporates"…his label will approach the appropriate corporate people…and individual managers / clerks will be delt with accordingly…

    Now as far as other people STILL wanting to limit Chris Brown and his career…later for them…because his true FANS and trust me it's enough of us to make Chris #1 again…WHY…because only his nay-sayers get the media's attention…we'll get THEIR attention when our purchase numbers are counted…

    Breath Chris Brown…you're not alone in this…and just consider the number of fans you will get behind the wall of a few people trying to cut your sales…you know…there are alot of us who can't help but TO support the underdog…and when we get together!!!

  • milana

    i feel like its crap that some people love chris brown but then go and not buy the album just because of what happened, people need to get over it already, i feel like he needs to keep going and not give up
