Despite Outburst, Chris Brown Album Soars, Holds #1 Spot on Billboards R&B/Hip-Hop Chart

Despite his recent outburst off the set of Good Morning America, Chris Brown's new album "F.A.M.E", on the Jive record label, was the top downloaded album on Apples' iTunes store on its first day of release Tuesday, an Apple spokesman said. He also appears in the #1 spot on Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop charts with the song "Look At Me Now".


Brown seemed rankled after being questioned on the show about the 2009 incident and assault on singer and former girlfriend Rihanna. He answered a question about the incident stating: "It's not really a big deal to me now, as far as that situation. I think I'm past that in my life. Today's the album day, so that's what I'm focused on."



I guess folks still are attached to the "Bad Boy" image of celebrities, and especially as evidenced by the recent off color behavior of Charlie Sheen who was not scorned, but actually embraced by fans and colleagues alike.

However, vewers of ABC's TV competition "Dancing with the Stars" demanded the cancellation of a planned performance by Brown on next week's show.

At this time next week though, Chris Brown might be celebrating his first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart, as "F.A.M.E.," is on course to bow with over 250,000 sold in its first week.
