Following a three year crawl back to the top, Chris Brown is seeing the title of latest LP, ‘Fortune’, ring true months ahead of its release.
Indeed, the set’s preceding singles ‘Strip’ and ‘Turn Up The Music’ have soared on charts Stateside, with the latter now on course to achieve a career first for the 22 year old in the UK.
Full story after the jump…
According to the Official Charts Company, ‘Turn Up The Music’ is currently outselling current #1‘Part Of Me’ by Katy Perry, and is en route to becoming Brown’s first ever UK chart-topper.
The closest the dynamo performer has come to achieving the feat was with debut ‘Run It’ – which peaked at #2 seven years ago.
A staple on British airwaves, the release has been boosted by heavy rotation of its Rihanna-featured remix and epic music video.
**********
As one of the world’s most renown and respected markets, success on these shores really relays Chris’ “international” status. More power to him!
‘Fortune’ hits stores on May 7th.

@jjfan1990

i AGREE WITH JAMIE
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-szebCKBac
really you say epic video but was out before Rihanna got on the remix……….so thank Rihanna
Congrats. No thanks to Rihanna!!!!!!!!!
Rihanna is a B*** head!! She tried to use Chris for Controversy and Chris came out on Top!!
go breezy go
Check world wide charts ……………………who winning RIHANNA: thank you riri
NO HATING CHRIS BUT.. .. UK LOVES RI RI THEY AIN’T BUYING IT FOR HIM.
if it was thanks to rir dnt u think thier remix would have charted the navy is so pressed as usual chris aint the one losing thier mind its ur fave who seems to be losing the plot cse chris dnt want her crazy ass
so after 7 years into his career, this guy cant score a #1 in the uk? talk about a local singer.
I know one thing I can’t wait until the entire truth to the 2009 story comes out. The media went after Chris just like they doing now to that black kid whom got shot in the back. Also congrats Chris
the post says thanks to heavy rotation of the remix so there is a certain degree of thanks to riri im just saying!! otherwise the song would of took off over a month ago when it was released he performed it and had the music video out! it is just now up there to almost #1 so by using logic it seems riri did help so thank you riri from team breezy! and thank you chris from the navy for cake remix.
also some ignorant fool posted about the truth about what happened in 2009?? umm we have the official statements from chris riri the police so what your talking about must be one of those idiotic plots so that you can justify what he did! which is sad !!! and frankly just pathetic!!

i think he did not say the truth about what happened!
Gratz CB.
CONFUSED IS THE ALBUM FORTUNE #1 OR THE SINGLE TUTM FROM FORTUNE???
The song will be a massive hit here, the UK love that type of sound, so he will do well with this album here.
And the remix means, many haters have flipped, so he definitely won with the remix, where are Rih…
@YOOSOND,,,,Where is Rih,,,Shes in the UK, Today!!!!
I Hope he does well and i hope Rih kep on doing it like
she know to do it. And it would be great if some how
them doing the remixes could help them both that would
be cool. There is always going to be those few who will
forever be waiting, praying for some one to say in big bold
letter that she beat her own ass. Butwho, what and how it
went down dont matter now because they both has taken
full responsiblity for their actions. They had a big Funeral
for their pass together and buried their Pass in a unmarked,
grave that is under heavy guard daily. Therefore who helped
who and who did theirs better Remains to be Seen now
dont it. I wish Them Both The Best of what ever it is that
Life Has To Offer Each Of Them….I see the Navy being
as cool as we can be and there or still many loose cells
out there that or going to be s*** throwers who or just mad
at Rihanna no matter what, others or the Grown ups in the house…
@COMMANDER,,,The voice of Reason, very well stated…
Big ups to CBreezy and all his success. The hard work and dedication is paying off.
HATERS WHO CARES WHAT YOU THINK ….STFU!
Yeah 3X Christopher M. “BREEZY” Brown. You better do it handsome! I’m very proud of you and #TeamBreezy UK YOU FREAKIN’ ROCK! Kudos to you guys for making this happen for Chris. I love TUTM, the remix ft Riri, and the video truly is EPIC. Excellent job young sir! 🙂

@HATERS,
HERE YOU GO: Jamie SAID ON March 27, 2012 AT 5:02 pm –> @jjfan1990
and he can thank himself because that EPIC video is what made me buy the single!!!!!!!
I agree with Jamie 🙂
@commanderofthedancefloor
No dear you are mistaken! TUTM was just released on iTUNES a few days ago in the UK and has been selling “like hotcakes” (the video as well) that’s why it will enter the POP & R&B charts at #1! Of course the song has been given to all the appropriate radio stations! The remix is FIRE, but it is the original song coupled with that HOT ASS video that got him this #1!
@Wendell
We all know the truth. He did what he could to protect his lady love! Ppl keep blathering on about reports and one-sided stories but WE ALL KNOW the REAL SKINNY. Anyway, I’m tired of talking & hearing about it at this point it’s been so long ago. The media and its constant hatred of “certain” ppl is simply sickeneing though! On that we can agree!
#STOPZimmerman2012
You people on here commenting are dumb,t he Rihanna remix is not even out in the UK, people actually like the song over here, thats why it’s doing well, nothing to do with Rihanna at all, so you fools should shut up, the music channels over here are always showing the vid and Rihanna is not in the video, so well done Chris.
