Chris Brown's ''F.A.M.E'' To Take Billboard's Top Spot With Over 270K Albums Sold In First Week
Don't call it a comeback ....No we're not talking about the legend LL Cool J but instead we're speaking on troubled star Chris Brown and his rise back to the top of the Billboard album chart.
Brown's ''F.A.M.E'' has moved over 270k copies in its first week, more than doubling the first week numbers of his 2009 release ''Graffiti''.
They say no publicity is bad publicity, and Brown's recent success may further prove that theory. After being in the news about nude pics of him leaking, he made even bigger headlines with his rampage at ABC that saw him throw a chair at a window

The song is the lead track off Cannon's first mixtape "Child Of The Corn."
Lil Wayne Has Not Heard Drake or Nicki Minaj’s Albums
Lil Wayne delivered a shocker to Angie Martinez when he revealed that he hasn’t heard Drake or Nicki Minaj’s platinum-selling albums in full.
“I never heard Drake’s album. I never heard Nicki’s album,” he told the Hot 97 personality. “I swear to God. I work too hard.”
The news may not come as such a surprise to his Young Money protégés. “They would probably guess it,” he added. “I’m always focused on something and it captures my whole attention, I can’t do nothing else.”
Due to his hectic schedule, the “6 Foot 7 Foot” rapper also hasn’t seen Toya Carter and daughter Reginae’s BET reality show “Toya: A Family Affair” and is not even curious about it. “I let her do her thing,” he said about his ex-wife. “It probably comes on at a time when I’m not at the house.”

Shyne's Concert In His Native Belize Flops So Badly Rapper Heads Back To Israel The Next Day
As if Shyne's comeback wasn't bombing badly enough already.
The rapper's recent attempt at a concert in his native Belize went so badly he immediately got on a plane back his adopted homeland of Israel the next morning.
Fans were expecting international superstars like Jay-Z and Wyclef Jean, Saturday (March 26), but when the crowd found out only Shyne and several local artists would be involved they started demanding their $50.00 back.
Before the show Shyne had promised top notch talent. "At the end of the day, only God can guarantee anything, but we're looking forward to having an extraordinary night with extraordinary guests."
That talent never showed up, leaving Shyne and the promotor, DJ Richie blaming each other.
"My responsibilities were done," DJ Richie said via BoomBox "I got everything together. I'm not pointing fingers and blaming Shyne, but it's just that his part never came through."
ABC Rumored To Be Trying To Orchestrate A Rihanna & Chris Brown Reunion On Good Morning America
Chris Brown's tantrum backstage on ABC's Good Morning America may lead to a big ratings event for the network.
There are reports that ABC wants to televise a meeting between Rihanna and Chris Brown.
The pair have been the focus of blogs and tv stations ever since Brown assaulted Rihanna two years ago. According to the National Post, ABC wants to “milk this event for everything it’s worth.”
Brown's career is back on track, his new album 'F.A.M.E.' will debut at number one on Billboard, so it's unclear if something like this would make sense for him. He's already paying his debt back to society and Rihanna via probation. Making this tv reunion seem unlikely

With Royal Flush 2 on the way, CyHi talks about his plans leading up to his debut LP
"At the end of April, I want to put out Royal Flush 2 and I wanna release The Allies when school is coming back in," CyHi said. "Those two projects, I want them to be my last mixtapes that I put out before my album. I'm speaking my album into existence this year. God says, 'If you ask, you shall receive,' so I'm asking, and hopefully I'll receive it sometime soon. I'm sending a pigeon or something, even a text message."
The G.O.O.D. Music artist is calling his debut The Hard Way Musical, and it is coming along. "My album is a lot of storytelling. It's heartfelt, but at the same time it's hip-hop to the T," he said of the songs he's recorded. "Royal Flush is more so the different parts of me, but my album is gonna be more the story of me."
