Chris Brown "Fortune" album labelled with domestic abuse warning

[Vladimir]

Chris Brown's latest album has been labelled with a domestic abuse warning.

The singer's fifth studio album Fortune is being sold in London HMV stores with a domestic abuse disclaimer, which is thought to be the work of campaigners, reports Gigwise.

The sticker reads: "WARNING: Do not buy this album! This man beats women."

Brown was convicted of assaulting former girlfriend Rihanna back in 2009.

The protest comes in the same week Brown visited domestic abuse victims at a charity festival in Los Angeles.

Brown's latest album Fortune reached number one with lackluster sales both in the UK and US upon its release in July

Keep up the good work Chris

"This man beats women"

I take it the list of all these women is on the back of the sticker?

Rightly so, Its disgraceful. Cant sing anyway, Dont wake me up is pure autotune.

[Apple202]

[Jordan.]

[Iceman]

300k in U.S alone have bought it tbh.

please don't tell me you support him?

[Brother Leon]

Yuhh,I Do. He makes a few summer bangers.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

bye

[MTVN]

Got to love the summer bangers

[Jake.]

:bored: oh and btw
'As of September 2012, Fortune has sold 295,600 copies in the United States.'
so you were a bit wrong ;) (i know im being petty, im joking)

[Jake.]

i do like 'dont wake me up' but anyone who supports a man who beats a woman, no matter how long ago/the circumstance :bored:

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

you do realize he probably doesn't even like him he is just saying that to appear unique and different like oh im so quirky i love wifebeaters lol~

its all he can do to make himself look interesting

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

it wouldnt surprise me if he did love wifebeaters though tbh

[Locke.]

Chris is a changed man

Chris is a changed man

you only need to look at his newest tattoo to know that that's bull****

[Brother Leon]

I'm gonna judge him on his profession and I like his music tbh. There is probably so much **** about these people in the public eye we all have no idea about, so I just find it pointless judging them on their personal lives.


Ryan Giggs has cheated on his wife and ****ed his brother's wife. He is still an absolute legend and hero for life in my eyes due to his footballing ability. Scott's most likely talking rubbish in his posts, but I cba to check :joker:

Fair enough. I am going to judge him on both this and his morals. I would look down on a random bloke who beat up his wife, and will do the same to Chris. Being famous isn't an excuse.

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

hey i just raped a child but its ok i had a #3 album in 1996 respect me

[Saph]

I don't believe hes changed :/ he hasn't done anything to show that he has so why should anyone believe him..

[Mrluvaluva]

The guy is pathetic. All free publicity to him still so I don't suppose he is bothered about it.

[MeMyselfAndI]

300K in US is awful for it being his core fanbase, thats like selling 50k here, completely flopped :joker:
Taylor Swift sells 1m albums in the US in 1 week

Stop chatting **** brah. If 300k and a number one album in 4 countries is a "flop" then the music scene must be real healthy right now. Justin Bieber & Rihanna who are supposed to be huge superstars only sold in the 400k area this year. He outsold his R&B rivals Frank Ocean and Usher too.

[Locke.]

Taylor Swift is targeted at children, that's why.

Compare Chris Brown's sales to artists around his age and in the same genre (Trey Songz, Mario, Lloyd, Jeremih, etc) and he's at the top.

[lostalex]

have you seen the new season of Glee? it's so obvious they are going to do a storyline sympathetic to Chris Brown.

The minute i saw him i was like ugh, chris brown look-alike, and SHOCKER he has anger issues!!!

yea Glee, you arn't predictable at all....:rolleyes:

Taylor swift is a country pop tweener audience.... its like being a hooker, she sells herself to anyone and everyone.

[Z]

I'd argue that Chris Brown is the same as Taylor Swift because he's hopping genres to maximise sales too... and there's nothing wrong with that.

I don't think there's much point in berating someone for liking him because of his music. That's absolutely fair enough. Personally, I think his music's crap and I've only ever liked one song he's ever recorded, that duet with Keri Hilson. Otherwise I think he's just treading ground that Usher already covered ten years ago just with a new generation of listeners. Hating on him for what he did is futile, it just gives him more coverage, he plays up to the image and the cycle continues. I just ignore him, and Rihanna, and hope that they burn out and go away soon. Most pop stars are lucky if they even have a 5 year career - they're not going away any time soon, either of them.

I don't particularly care about what you two are arguing about but Rihanna is actually 20K away from selling 1m copies of Talk That Talk in the US (3m worldwide already) and it hasn't even been a full year yet

"Rounding out the top 10: Carrie Underwood, Blown Away (602,000), Luke Bryan, Tailgates & Tanlines (575,000), Nicki Minaj, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded (557,000), Drake, Take Care (549,000) and Adele's debut, 19 (539,000). Other notable albums in the top 20 include: Justin Bieber, Believe (#12, 490,000), Madonna's MDNA (#13, 484,000), Black Keys, El Camino (#16, 424,000) and Rihanna's Talk That Talk (#17, 424,000)."

Midyear Album sales count *shrug*

[Me. I Am Salman]

Stop lying Brother Leon :nono:

“Talk That Talk”, her 6th studio album, has been certified platinum in the United States, selling over 1 million copies since its release in November, 2011.

This is her 5th consecutive album to go platinum there! The album has sold over 3.2 million copies worldwide.

Considering the project has only spawned 1 US #1 single, to surpass sales of and ship 1 million copies is a feat we’d say stands as one of her best.

Yea. Im talking about 2012 sales in my post :idc: Pretty sure only Adele, 1D and a couple others like Whitney Houston and Minaj have sold over 500k this year.

no one is trying to force the tattoo being Rihanna, they are just rightfully saying that Chris Brown seems to LIKE the image of a disfigured and damaged and BATTERED woman.

personally, i think he'd be perfectly happy to beat the **** out of many women, not just Rihanna, i don't think Rihanna is that special. He clearly likes the image of a disfigured and abused woman.

If you think beating the hell out of a woman is something that a guy does just one time, then you are very wrong.

It's like someone that get's caught for Drinking and driving. You can bet your bottom dollar that anyone that's been caught for a DUI has probably drove drunk at least 50 times before they ever got caught.

The same is true for domestic violence.
