Over two decades after Chris Brown burst into the Billboard 200’s top 10 for the first time with his eponymous, 2005 debut album, the R&B bad boy is gearing up to raise a glass to yet another addition to his unbroken tally thanks to the May 8-released ‘Brown.’
Chris Brown’s ‘BROWN’
Predicted First-Week Sales (SPS): 77,000 units
Predicted Billboard 200 Debut: #5
According to forecasted figures provided by top industry analysts at HitsDailyDouble, ‘BROWN’ is set to debut at #5 on next week’s Billboard 200 with first-week sales slightly north of 77,000.
If the prediction rings true, the project – his 12th solo album – will mark his 13th consecutive studio effort to boast a top 10 debut (including his 2015 collaborative LP ‘Fan of a Fan‘ with Tyga which peaked at #7).
Home to warmly received singles ‘Holy Blindfold,’ Obvious,’ ‘Fallin’ (seen above), ‘It Depends,’ and ‘For the Moment,’ ‘BROWN’ may be on-pace to enter next week’s Billboard 200 with his highest debut since 2019’s chart-topping ‘INDIGO‘ but the critically polarizing project also marks the second lowest first-week sales of his career to date.
Its predecessor, 2023’s ‘11:11,’ still holds that personal title with its opening sum of 45,000 units sold.
Keep it locked to That Grape Juice for news on the final first-week ‘BROWN’ numbers once they are unveiled on Sunday (May 17).

I’ll ‘pass this rehash and repackage album… btw the ICEMAN is coming tomorrow.
Enjoy your Top 5….
Flopping FLOP.
Love to see it.
Chris is NOT an artist. He’s just someone who got lucky because he can dance and hes light-skinned. Lets be real. The beating of Rihanna and him turning into a bad boy extended his time in the industry but he definitely is NOT the artist he and his delusional fans think he is. They needed a new Usher and his erratic a** fit the bill.
He has fans?
News to me 🍿
Zara L who??
