Chris Brown
Chris Brown's "X" studio CD released this week is
projected to sell 120,000 copies in its first week of release. The
CD is battling Barbara Streisand's latest effort. On its current
sales course, "X" will be a modest success, taking more time than
industry experts expected to go gold.
The single "Loyal" created a lot of attention for
the CD that suffered from delays and several release dates that
originally did not pan out, due to Brown's legal troubles and his
former manager withholding the hard drive containing all the
singer's music, after she was fired.
"Loyal" became a big hit and went platinum, selling
over 1,000,000 copies, which in this day and age is a lot for a
single. However, Sony waited too long to release the CD "X" after
"Loyal" became a hit and sales are lower than what was expected.
Another problem that may have contributed to lower sales is Brown
mass unfollowing all his fans on Twitter and Instagram. Some vowed
to not buy "X" upon its release.
