Just as many hoped and some predicted, Chris Brown achieves his first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart as "F.A.M.E." catapults to the top with 270,000 albums sold according to Nielsen SoundScan.
"F.A.M.E." is Chris' fourth top 10 album, following his self-titled debut which debuted #2 in 2005, "Exclusive" which hit the charts at #4 in 2007 and "Graffiti" which made hardly any noise at #7 in 2009.
Jennifer Hudson’s sophomore release of 'I Remember Me' came out of the gates at #2 on the Billboard charts, selling 165,000 albums. And Adele’s '21', last week’ s #1 took a back seat to the new releases of Brown and J-Hud, thus dropping her to a still strong #3 with an impressive 96,000 albums sold.Here is where the Billboards stand at current.
