Trouble R&B star Chris Brown seems to cannot shake the negative publicity that has plagued his career for all of 2009. As sales predictions are set for album released this week in America, experts suggest that Brown's new Graffiti album may shift only 90,000 - 110,000 based on its first day sales tally from Tuesday. If that is the case, Brown could suffer a flop. His 2007 album Exclusive and his 2005 self-titled debut sold 290,000 and 154,000 respectively in their first sales weeks.
In other music chart news, traditional pop star Susan Boyle from "Britain's Got Talent" has domination album sales once again. In its second week in stores, Boyle's I Dream A Dream sold more than 500,000 copies which bolstered sales to more than 1.2 million. With the news of Brown achieving such disappointing number of album units sold, experts project that Boyle will remain on top for a third weeks with sales between 500K to 600K.
Only one could wonder how Chris' record label will deal with this crisis. While there are mixed feelings about the beleaguered singer bouncing back to being a R&B star, would Jive Records really dump the crooner if his album does not sell well over the next few months?
