Chris Brown sold over 271K albums in his first week release. Debuting at Number 1 on the billboard 200 and the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Album charts. More after the jump..

The success of F.A.M.E. follows Brown reaching the No. 1 position on both the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and the Urban Mainstream radio charts with current single “Look At Me Now” featuring Lil Wayne and Busta Rhymes. This is the second consecutive week at No. 1 at Urban Mainstream and the video  is in rotation on MTV and MTV2 and in the Top 5 on BET’s 106 and Park countdown.

“Look At Me Now” is Brown’s third successive No. 1 Urban Mainstream single from the new album. It was preceded by “Deuces”  featuring Tyga and Kevin McCall (which spent 10 weeks at the top of the chart) and “No BS”. “Yeah 3X,”  another track from F.A.M.E., rose to Top 5 at Urban Mainstream. Collectively, the four singles represent combined cumulative digital and mobile sales of five million.

Brown co-wrote the majority of F.A.M.E., the follow-up to his 2X Grammy-nominated 2009 album, Graffiti. Sporting collaborations with Justin Bieber, Lil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa, and Ludacris, among others, F.A.M.E. has drawn various critical accolades. People Magazine gave the album a 4 out of 4 stars album review and boasts, “This is the kind of R&B-pop blockbuster that Michael Jackson might have made if he were 21 in 2011.” USA Today adds Brown “has delivered the strongest album of his career.”
