Billboard: Chris Brown's Royalty does 184k (162k pure album sales)

[thaKEAF]

That's a good number considering there was basically no promo and he didn't have a smash hit on it. Hated the album though, it felt like a big step back from what he did with X. I never agree with Cacplex but one dude wrote a review on there that summed up everything I felt.

Dawg....not everyone listens to the radio. It's 2015...people hear about a new single once and immediately buy off iTunes or save it on Apple music or spotify.

Y'all nikkas still think people need singles to sell records?

Adele would have sold regardless of "Hello"

Fetty had 4 top 20 singles and flopped.

Y'all stuck in the past

naw, Chris Brown is Rick Ross,2Chainz, Ludacris status right now.. he aint sellin, no buzz, no singles... label bought them albums

She would've sold, but people don't understand the type of promo she had either. She had Target commercials that were playing different songs from her album on major networks. On top of that, you had NBC running concert specials and re-airing them. There was also some other promo.

[H. Selassie]

That's a solid number.

As far as this promo discussion goes, artists nowadays have millions of diehard fans/followers on social media who they can promote to everyday with the click of a button.

Seriously, what Chris Brown fan doesn't know the album is out? Who didn't know about the album that should have known about it? Middle-aged whites people from the Midwest who weren't gonna buy it anyway?

Stop with the nonsense brehs. He did what he was supposed to do.

Not bad considering I didn't even know he dropped a new album or had any singles out besides that liquor/zero thing

No Promo is cliche on the coli. It has no real meaning

Meanwhile... Usher...

JayZ gave pusha t the $100k for that movie

Is he managed by Roc Nation now? Random but good looks to Jay

Outside of Liquor and Back to Sleep, the rest of the album is a mess in terms of direction.

 

[Hyperion]

My all time wish is for an executive producer to help him form a cohesive album. Fulfill my dream Breezus Christ

Imagine a Timbaland-produced Chris Brown album. Seeing what he did for the Justin Timberlake 20/20 Experience albums and the Michael Jackson Xscape album, there's no doubt the Chris album would be undeniable heat.

On that note, I'm about to go listen to the album on Spotify now while playing some Fallout 4.

naw, Chris Brown is Rick Ross,2Chainz, Ludacris status right now.. he aint sellin, no buzz, no singles... label bought them albums

if that's the case, then how come Rick Ross, Ludacris, and 2Chainz all flopped? how come the label ain't buying their albums? why Chris?
are the label exec a bunch of 16 year old girls, who base their choices on looks?

 

[Lucky Me]

those are good numbers for an R&B nikka nowadays. Why tf was he bytchin a week ago about his sales?

Outside of Liquor and Back to Sleep, the rest of the album is a mess in terms of direction.

One track he's singing about eating a strippers ass the next song he's saying how much he loves his daughter

I think his biggest flaw is he doesn't know when to chill on the cursing. I feel it ruins some of the vibe on some of the tracks and he has like two future sound alikes on there
