Chris Brown‘s ‘X’ campaign continues – despite a number of public and pronounced bumps along the way.
Originally earmarked for a December 2013 release (after several delays), the LP’s arrival date remains unknown. What is certain, though, is that the singer is still pushing on with the project – as evidenced by the debut of new song ‘Wildcat’.
The hard-hitting mid-tempo was posted to the singer’s VEVO page without much ceremony or warning, leaving many wondering whether it’s an official or yet another taster.
Take a listen to ‘Wildcat’ below and let us know whether you still have an appetite for what ‘X’ is serving up or are you full-up.
Hmm.
Production-wise the track is our favourite flavour of mid-tempo (see: hard-hitting, with a knock). Yet, lyrically, the cut feels lackluster. Entirely ‘been, there, done that” terrain. What’s more, not to suggest Gospel should be his go-to route, but surely playing up the bad-boy image…at this time…is…ill-conceived? Just thinking out aloud.
See and people got mad at me when I said he went to help underprivileged kids for his public image. How “convenient” that this song is released shortly after that PR look…That man hasn’t changed and doesn’t give a d*mn about those kids, he wanted y’all “breezy” fans to be fooled (like y’all have been for years) into thinking he’s “changed” or “changing.” Just listen to the repulsive lyrics of this song?! Absolute trash. Christ please go to prison or leave the industry.. He will soon be replaced anyway..
its not his vevo page lol the song got leaked from a other website. recorded in 2012 and will not be on his upcoming album x
TGJ:
“Be sure to let us know what you think of this year’s nominees, as well as who you predict will win. The commenter(s) with the most correct picks will win a festive gift courtesy of That Grape Juice!**”
AND TGJ IS TRYING IT, THINKING I FORGOT ABOUT MY GIFT.
I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE AN EMAIL ABOUT WHERE THEY SHOULD SEND MY “FESTIVE” GIFT TOO.
I WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT COMMENTED MY LIST OF PREDICTED WINNERS. I REALLY HOPE SAMANTHA KEEPS HER WORD!!!
Chris Brown keeps a good PR team.
What do you think has been keeping him out of jail all this time, from the Rihanna incident to present!
This community service “Nice Guy” act will most likely be over before its too soon. He’s not fooling me! Hes doing what he must for opportunities just like this, To release new music and win the GP back into buying his act.
That bleach has penetrated his skull, Maybe if he dyes that s*** back natural and makes a #1 hit with CIARA, THEN I might change my mind about him!! ONLY THEN
@FutureCiara Girl, did you not get any gifts yesterday?? Lol, you seem desperate for a gift. I found some unused Ciara albums in the recycle bin at Target, let me know if you want one….#JustKidding #HadToThroughSomeShade
NO NO NO NO And NO chris brown!
@EnoughTrollnika B**** sit your ugly ass down Ciara aint worried bout yo b**** ass.
So this is what he’s reduced himself to now? This is gutter music. Leave that stuff to R. Kelly and Lil Wayne.
f** chris…this is real news chile
Beyonce” sold 991,000 in its first 10 days and is (so far) the 12th biggest-selling album of 2013
Beyonce’s new self-titled album remains unstoppable on the Billboard 200 chart, as it spends a second week atop the list.
“Beyonce” sold 374,000 copies in the week ending Dec. 22 (down 39%), according to Nielsen SoundScan. It bowed at No. 1 on the previous week’s chart, after only three days on sale, with 617,000 sold.
The album was released on an off-cycle Friday, Dec. 13. Its debut on the chart a week ago came from sales in the week ending Dec. 15.
Beyonce Surprises Terminally Ill Fan | ‘Beyonce’ Review
Thus, in its first 10 days of release, “Beyonce” sold 991,000 and is (so far) the 12th biggest-selling album of 2013. There is one more tracking week left in the year — the week ending Dec. 29. It’s likely that “Beyonce” will finish 2013 among the top 10 sellers (all of which have sold at least 1 million this year).
Holiday Chart Schedule
Please note that all Billboard.com and .Biz charts will update on Friday (Dec. 27) at 9am ET. The top 10 of the Billboard 200 and Hot 100 charts will be revealed on Thursday (Jan. 2) and update in full on Friday (Jan. 3).
“Beyonce’s” debut was fueled by sales only from the iTunes Store, as the album was exclusively available through the retailer until the end of last week. After that, the set went on sale through all traditional sellers of music, including brick-and-mortar establishments. (Notably, both Target and Amazon.com declined to sell the CD version of the album.)
Impressively, “Beyonce” sold more copies in its second chart week than the diva’s last album, “4,” did in its debut on the chart. The latter album was released in 2011 and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 310,000. (And, the album was released on a traditional Tuesday, giving the set six days of sales in its debut frame.)
In its second week, “4” sold 115,000 (securing a second, and final, week at No. 1).
Although “Beyonce” became widely available in its second week, its digital sales remain strong (most of those coming from the iTunes Store). Of its 374,000 second week, downloads made up 63% (235,000). It was the top selling digital album of the week, and remains at No. 1 on the Digital Albums chart. (Among the top selling physical albums of the week, “Beyonce” was the No. 3 seller, behind Garth Brooks “Blame It All On My Roots” and One Direction’s “Midnight Memories.”)
