NEWS AND UPDATES

she said what everbody needs to hear ………………… LOVE YA CHRIS

@Ingrid,

If you go to hitsdailydouble.com, under sales, you'll see the info: http://www.hitsdailydouble.com/sales/sales_ur.cgi… I AKeys sold,in her first week's sales 743,000 and a total U.S OTC 3,713,000; (I THINK U.S. OTC means Over The Counter, as in Actual CD sales). So if Alicia Keys does say 350,000 for this past (Dec 8-15th) week's sales, that'll be OVER a 50% drop in sales from HER last CD debut 11/03/2007!!

The "long-and-short-of-it", not much people are buying CD's! But if these numbers hold true, she'll have the #1 spot for R&B and Breezy will have #2 or 3 spot, I'm NOT too sure. Robin Thick was supposed to sell between 100-110K. But I KNOW for-a-fact, 'Graffiti' has outsold, on itunes his music – BY A LONG-SHOT!! And this past week, the East-Coast had a major snow storm, so you can discount those days for physical CD sales!
Oh, by-the-way, Susan Boyle too, NOT ONLY Breezy, is currently out-of-the top 10 on the itunes top 10 Albums.
K, I just checked, of the 22 itunes 10 top R&B Album charts, 'Graffiti' is currently on 11 of 22: http://www.apple.com/euro/itunes/charts/top10soul…

Guys this Graffiti album will continue to make it big just like Forever continues to live on in us. Chris put his whole heart in this album, even down to the writing, and rhythum of each song. I love the entire Graffiti album. Their is not one song I did not like. My favorite is Crawl, even the video is perfect. I can listen to Crawl all day. I listen to the CD now as I'm typing these words. It is just beautiful and plain undenied talent. God Bless you Chris and thank you for sharing this album with us.

I feel now is important for someone to stand up and speak on the half of Music,not hip hop,rock,r and b,jazz,pop but MUSIC and who better then a fan of just that. Just like jerry curls, huge ear rings,tight jeans, gold teeth,chains,and Cadillacs music had to evolve to fit the needs of its supporters. Some were we lost sight of the reason we listen to Music witch is How when your sad it brightens your day,how it makes you dance when your to tired to walk ,how it helps you build up enough courage to deal with situations that you couldn’t deal with alone. Critic’s ,media and the poperise, have contributed to stealing the one thing that artist have, a voice. Now people or more entrusted in cribs and for the love of, and who’s dating who. Cd sales or down and young artist such as Chris brown or being more known for what they do out side of music. I read blogs of people who were saying that soulja boy has no talent and that bow wow is to cocky every one has an opinion but it is when people start getting to involved saying things that or hurtful and uncalled for. Music now is judged off of personal possessions,amount of money and sex life instead of the one thing that brought them Into this Business MUSIC. I say to those artist keep your head up and do what made u famous weather it be suppermaning that hoe,making girls get it on and poppin or just spending the money you earned. Haters will hate but one thing that I learned is that most haters are followers and once they realize that your music is here to stay they will jump aboard.

Unfortunately, I think so many Americans have become used to/content with, artists who just walk back and forth across a stage making hand gestures. We've forgotten that music used to be presented with not just just candy for the ears, but with for the eyes too. To use MJ for an example, you would enjoy the music, but also be in awe and at some point feel like " OMG, I would be so exhausted doing all this" .

Also, it's funny how other countries tend to give more love to our artists than we do. Look at how much of a big deal other countries made over MJ's passing and lots of people (media especially) just stayed full of hatred. Their goal was to distract and try to take away from that man's greatness and gullible people feed into it.

All this to say, I think CB is a legend in the making and those of us who are hoping the best for him, know this and will be saying "See I told you so" …"at the end of the day",lol

@Symone,

I think those may be 'ICTY' numbers for D/L's. As for World Wide 'Graffiti' Album sales, I think Breezy did 122,000, that's #17 WORLDWIDE!! http://www.mediatraffic.de/albums.htm. What I'm NOT sure 'bout is if these numbers are for itunes/Amazon downloads! But if memory serves me correctly, I think 'Graffiti' was available for D/L BEFORE actual CD sales in the stores, but I could be wrong 'bout that.

I find it hard to believe that he ONLY sold some 18,000 'Graffiti' WORLDWIDE itunes/Amazon!!!
In any case, if you look at the German itunes chart, you'll see that Kerri Hilson has the #1 Soul/R&B song, BUT she's NOT even on the itunes top 10 Soul/R&B German chart!
This leads me to think that all one has to do is to 'show-up,' do some TV shows; some photo-ops and THEN your music will sell, you know?

Needless to say, Breezy hasn't traveled abroad to support 'Graffiti' – I can't wait for him to travel; it's THEN you're going to see 'Graffti' re-enter the charts and songs like 'Pass out' do REALLY well!
I know he MUST be frustrated, but Chris has ALL of tomorrow and the WORLD'S talent to express himself!
If you can't buy, then request and vote for his music/videos! This race, back to the top, is NOT for the swift but for those who can/will endure!!

Lets try to be positive I understand you are just speaking the truth but actually his album did well outside of the U.S. And if you read previous post apperantly his manger said on twitter and some websites that worldwide so far he has sold over 500,000. I haven't been able to get a link and it could possibly be true so lets just be happy about that and not dwell on the negative.

PLEASE… I KNOW WERE ALL CHRIS BROWN FANS BUT SOEME OF YALL MISINTERPRETED WHAT I WROTE COMPLETELY!!!! YOU GUYS NEED TO READ MY COMMETN IN ITS ENTIRITY… I SAID FROM WHAT HITS DAILY DOUBLE SAID, HE SOLD close to 200,000 IN THE FIRST TWO WEEKS. I said @WTF said in the Billboard update post, that Chris sold 514k worldwide. You guys need to read the rest of my comment where I say I read he sold around 120,000 his first week, and hits daily double reported 56,000 his second week. Which when you addd the two you get close to 200k in two weeks. Which is Horrible for Chris?? Please read the entire thing first before you guys comment saying that.. Thank you. Thats why I asked if anyone has a direct link to that sales figure. Cause it didn't sound right to me..

oh i am also happy with his second week sales…not the best but 51k with stores still not putting your music is not bad…his numbers will go up and this cd will go platinum in the states…2010 when he does more promo and releases more singles it will still sell…so buy buy and just support him…BTW on the rnb itunes charts he has 8 or so songs there…more than any artist and they say he is a flop??? yeah right…dnt believe half of the tings you read about him when they say he is a flop coz its far from it…u cant have 8 songs on one chart that people are buying and flop..he is doing good…2010 will even be a better year but he did not flop!!! far from it in fact!!

Tina Davis (Chris Manager)confirmed that Chris sold 574,416 copies of GRAFITTI,the first week in WORLDWIDE SALES,those figures come in on Fridays. HitsDaliy ONLY estimates what retail does.Hits Daily does not count foreign sales, digital nor do they count pre-orders.The media has an agenda against Chris,so by them not reporting certain things,it will make you believe something that's not true.The true stats come from the label……

Chris needs to go spend some time in Europe promoting this album.I LOVE IT! It's been a while since I could listen to an album straight through.

Most of America is still mad about Obama and the bandwagon-type black people just join in and don't realize that they are helping to crucify a young black man, when they don't crucify their own this badly.

@Symone,

Yup, you're so right!!! ….And Chris, on itunes has 3 in the top 10 itunes R&B/Soul: musichartfeeds.com/itunes-rnb-soul-chart/ #1,#5 and #9!!! Damn, 'Forever' is STILL on the charts – who'd have thought, 'eh? On that same chart, 'ICTY' is #20 and that's across ALL CHARTS!!

I'm telling y'all, Breezy needs to tour Europe/Australia AND Asia; Keri Hilson ain't on itunes R&B/Soul top 10 albums Germany and she's #1 on itunes Germany R&B top 10 single! From what I've been seeing, and I might be wrong, but all she's been doing is going on TV shows; I've YET to hear 'bout her doing concerts and the likes!!

Now, I see 'Crawl' is moving up the charts, folks are soon to figure out that their monies are 'better-spent' if they D/L the Album – instead of buying singles! This is why I say that 'Graffiti' WILL make a reappearance in the itunes top Albums!!

@Just me — You know, what really "'gives pause," is the fact that, SOME, of these artists, who have some 'dirt-up-under-their-nails' it's NOW "open-season": If a racist/reactionary media can do this to "squeaky-clean Chris Brown", what have they NOW opened them-selves up to, by NOT supporting Breezy?
