R&B singer Chris Brown‘s Royalty album landed in the Top 5 this week after selling over 180,000 copies.
According to reports, Chris Breezy’s latest solo offering pushed out 184,000 units in its opening week.
In terms of straight sales, Royalty nets Brown his largest sales week since his 2011, when his F.A.M.E. album started at No. 1 with 270,000 sold. It follows his collaborative album Fan of a Fan: The Album (with Tyga) earlier in 2015, which debuted and peaked at No. 7 (with 51,000 sold in its first week). Previous to that, Brown released the solo set X in 2014, which bowed and peaked at No. 2 (145,000 sold first week). (Billboard)
