Chris Brown's New Album 'Fortune' Trailing Its Predecessor 'Fame' In Sales


Chris Brown

R&B singer, Chris Brown, is having a bad summer. A few weeks ago he was in a bottle fight at a night club that left many injured, with people like NBA star, Tony Parker, threatening to sue him and his rival Drake over the bloody melee. 


Parker's lawsuit labeled Rihanna, who is one of Brown's girlfriends, as the troublemaker behind the brawl 

This week his recently released new album "Fortune" is selling poorly, trailing its predecessor "Fame." Seriously, shouldn't "Fame" have come before "Fortune." Brown has an image problem and one he keeps making worse by getting into trouble on a regular basis.

However, Bieber has sold many singles, thanks to digital sales from downloading outlets such as iTunes. Recently, Usher began living vicariously through Bieber in trying to recapture his youth. Therefore, is there a competition between the two or any jealousy. Does Usher want to pull Bieber's hair out and does Bieber want slap Usher across the face using one of Michael Jackson's old sequined gloves, in a tender and delicate, yet angry way.
