Chris trajectory was supposed to be the next big pop star after usher.

Chris killed his crossover appeal the day the rihanna incident happened.

He doesn't get the endorsement deals that he used & doesn't get the promo like he used to.

His albums were selling more before the incident as well.

Yeah breh, this is all true and common sense.

But my point is his longevity. Without the rihanna incident, he would've eventually tried to be hard, but it would've been seen as a joke.

Think about Usher, when he tried to switch his lane in the late 00s, ppl weren't feeling it, so he tried to do the edm stuff, he's been mostly downhill since bc he can't catch an authentic lane anymore .

Chris Browns career would have peaked higher without the incident, but that peak would've been a decade ago and he wouldn't be all over the radio like he is now

And??!! People be legit thinking Mario is just a 1-hit wonder until I remind them that Mario had at least 1 hit single on each of his first 4 albums. Mario isn't touching CB when it comes to career commerical sucess so just stop this embarassing comparison.
EDIT: my apologies I read that wrong. lol

Musicians are at the lower end of the spectrum in terms of entertainers.

The smart ones get into stuff like acting.

Will Smith, 50, JLo...bunch of other people, but those are who came to mind at the moment.

Pretty sure 50 made enough off his first 2 albums alone to be set for life.

Then if you consider all the tour/show money and the success of BFM, HFM, SOC, and Documentary, no way he didn’t make well into the 8 figures off music alone.

That's the album that had like 40 something songs on it right?

Most artists have a alot of unreleased music for every project. But in the streaming era it's wise to put them on the album for more streams =more money

Chris Brown used to drop a mixtape before every album came out. Now it's like they just put those songs on the albums.

Chris brown was making noise earlier on. Right now he’s just a failed Usher replacement
:mjlol:
How is he a failed Usher replacement when Usher is clamoring to be on Chris Brown songs? And chris outshines Usher on their features.

Usher has been chasing Chris Browns lane for a decade and can't catch it. People would rather Usher go back to Confession era and be a singer rather than what he's tried to do
