He may be hot on the promo trail on the recently kicked off ‘INDIGOAT’ tour in support of his latest chart-topping effort, ‘Indigo’ (click here for dates), but many of his fans are probably still trying to work their way through the 5,000 45 tracks listed aboard the LP’s predecessor – his eighth solo studio album ‘Heartbreak on a Full Moon.’ Its enduring success over ‘Indigo’ on digital and streaming formats serves as proof.
The October 2017-released project – which birthed the hits ‘Party’ (featuring Usher and Gucci Mane), ‘Privacy,’ ‘Questions,’ ‘Tempo,’ and ‘Pills & Automobiles’ – recently drove right past the Recording Industry Association of America’s (RIAA) threshold for double platinum status. The feat brought with it news Brown’s been penciled in the organization’s history books for an impressive certification accomplishment.
Details inside:
The RIAA has published a slew of updated song and album certifications for Chris, including word his 8th studio album, ‘Moon,’ has risen to double platinum status. This means the LP has shifted over 2 million in sales or sales equivalence (streaming, etc.).

*****
The new certifications push Breezy to 69.5 million in RIAA-certified digital song units, which means he has extended his lead as the most certified R&B artist in history in the category of digital single sales.
Among all artists and genres, Brown is in a three-way tie for #6 on the all-time list. See that list below (as of time reported):
RIAA Top-Selling Digital Singles Artists
- Drake (148 million)
- Rihanna (125 million)
- Taylor Swift (121 million)
- Eminem (107.5 million)
- Katy Perry (101 million)
- Chris Brown (69.5 million)
- Bruno Mars (69.5 million)
- Justin Bieber (69.5 million)
- Kanye West (69 million)
- Maroon 5 (67 million)
And, while it should be noted the 30-year-old has earned his fair share of hits as a feature on other artists’ songs, all of the certifications included in the count above are only his work as a leading act. [source]
1. Graffiti is still his best post debut.
2. An album with 673 songs are EASILY going platinum.
Don’t judge me was okay but it’s obvious Chris still doesn’t have an EAR for Quality Music at 30 if he doesn’t know how to narrow 40+ songs into a quality 10-15 Track album.
But all the songs slap tho. Indigo of his best works to date.
You have to work and use the computer and internet, and if you can do that and dedicate some time each day then you can do this with no problem.
I have been working with this for a month and have made over $2,000 already. let me know if you need more help.

Congrats Breezy
Top selling digital artists, scrolling down looking for beyonce’s name she’s nowhere to be found. What makes her a legend when her sales are sagging.
Beyoncé stop selling after single ladies 10 years ago sweetie lol
Omg i can’t believe it’s been 10 years
Britney Spears #1 hit “Womanizer” was 10 years ago too
Lady Gaga’s “Just Dance” and “Poker Face” was ten years ago
Omg omg
Im playing Janet Jackson’s “Time Flies When U Having Fun”
???
BECAUSE BEYONCE NOR DOES HER TEAM DONT PAY FOR RIAA UPDATES OR PLAQUES. EVERYONE KNOWS THIS.

Streaming is killing the industry
Yes the hell it is ??
Streaming is all the industry has left. People refuse to buy music. No streaming means no new releases
He might be a cokehead but Chris is an amazing artist.. sad thing is he’ll never win anymore Grammys because he hit Rihanna & the organization does not want to tarnish their relationship with Rih so it is what it is.
He won the Grammy
After Rihana
Is it true that Chris Brown swing both ways just to get good deal???
Is he gey 4 pley?
Yeah he could be bisexual
He is down for the right price or deal allegedly
Either way he’s hot so
His music is whack
He’s got? I guess if u like the crackhead look…
*hot
Good news but it’s obvious Chris still doesn’t have an EAR for Quality Music at 30. At this point his albums should be filled with Take you Downs and Wall to Walls instead of the watered down Microwave vocals over easy bake oven Mac Beats.
If it weren’t for Rihsceduled being abusive to his fist Chris name would be bigger than Usher by now
Chris is talented yet he has no Classic album to his name smh and isn’t close to the genius musical input MJ created timelessly catalog over his career nor that of Usher older world and s*** not even a Tevin Campbell I’m Ready
Crazy how you sell 50k and then go double platinum.
And yes..Beyonce is now where on this list as usual.
She can’t sell and she can’t stream
Receipts????? last time i checked every single one of Beyoncé’s solo albums went to No.1 on the HOT 100 and is Platinum + so……. mad your father didn’t hang around when you grew up and didn’t have any positive role models of successful women much? BLOOP!
Streaming made it way too easy for albums to get certified. It’s just too easy.
Streaming has become the death of the industry.
That’s what happens when you have 200 songs on one album and a fan base with lose self esteem so they spend their life streaming cheap music to make him look good. I’d be more impressed if he was able to do that with only 13 songs.
Alot of trolls in this comment section who’ve obviously not heard the album and just hate Chris. HBOAFM is a quality album despite the length. Might even be his best, next to FAME.
??GRAFFITI??IS??GOLD??AYEEE??????
His pure sales are pure s***. He hasn’t had a platinum selling album since 2007!!!
NOW THIS IS TEA. I FEEL LIKE HE GOT CLOSE TO A MIL WITH ONE OTHER ONE. IT WAS EITHER FAME OR FORTUNE.
Chris is the best nowadays / the greatest of this generation/ inspired by the legendary Michael jackson… Chris is amazing
I’m so proud of you Chris continue doing great things, don’t let people’s steal your shine and tries to stop your grind, your dance moves is electrifying.
