Greeted with comparisons to a younger Michael Jackson and Usher, Chris Brown arrived in 2005 as a squeaky-clean pop-R&B artist with "Run It!," the first single by an artist of a male to make it onto the Billboard Hot 100 in over a decade. There was nothing to go, at least in terms of chart positions, the singer as well as dancer and rapper was just getting started. Within a few years, Brown became one of the most popular pop stars with Chris Brown (2005) and Exclusive (2007), multi-platinum albums that produced five more Top Ten singles, including "Kiss Kiss" and "Forever." As a featured artist or duettist as well, he further boosted the list with songs such as "No Air,"" an anthem with Jordin Sparks. Brown went through a stylistic overhaul by the end of the decade. His forebears were now R. Kelly, Jodeci and 2Pac. This, and a more radical change in his public image did not slow down his commercial momentum. Graffiti (2009) as well as the Grammy-winning F.A.M.E. maintained his streak of Top Ten albums. Fortune (2012) as well as Graffiti (2009). Brown's artistic scope has since increased through Heartbreak on a Full Moon (2017) and Indigo (2019), albums as long as epic films as well as Breezy (2022) which is his tenth consecutive Top Ten solo LP.
