Christopher Brown (full name Christopher Maurice Brown) is an American pop and R&B singer, dancer, and actor who is famous for having released his Billboard Hot 100 number-one debut single Run it! This hot single was recorded in 2005, produced by Scott Storch and featured Juelz Santana. Chris Brown’s debut album entitled Chris Brown contained four successful top ten and top twenty hits in the United States. Amazing as it is, the album has sold three million copies worldwide and 1,920,665 copies in the United States!
Chris Brown was born in Tappahannock, Virginia and was very much influenced by the creative work of such noted artists as Michael Jackson and Sam Cooke. Brown discovered his bright vocal talent at the age of 11 and after that he decided to become a singer instead of a rapper – or better to combine both his talents: dancing and singing. Brown’s talent was discovered at his father’s gas station, which was visited by a local production team. Since then, he began his recording career and moved to New York, where his talents opened up at the largest.
Brown’s first album was released in November 29, 2005 and was highlighted with his debut song Run it which was #1 in the United States, Australia, and Japan. After Run it, the world heard Yo, which became Brown’s second top 10 hit in the US. Brown’s third single Gimme That was released in March 2006. The single debuted on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 at #80 and climbed up the charts very rapidly. The fourth single is the ballad Say Goodbye, which was also very well received.
Brown’s latest album was recorded in 2007 and is entitled Exclusive. The album features such songs as Wall to Wall, and Kiss Kiss (featuring T-Pain), With You all having high rankings on the Billboard R&B Hot 100 charts.
