This makes him the youngest artist at 29 years old to achieve such a feat. This comes in the middle of a rape allegation levelled against the singer.
The singer’s upcoming album Indigo will be his first release under the new license agreement which also extends his partnership with RCA.
“This new deal structure between Brown and RCA Records, will undoubtedly enhance the release of new Chris Brown music, content, and much more throughout 2019 and beyond,” RCA said in a statement.
Brown’s first album for RCA was 2012’s Fortune, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and was certified platinum. He has gone on to release four other albums on the label including 2014’s X, 2015’s Royalty and Fan of a Fan: The Album with Tyga, and 2017’s Heartbreak on a Full Moon.
His ninth studio album Indigo is due later this year featuring recently released single Undecided, for which he also dropped a music video co-starring Empire actress Serayah.
Throughout his 14-year career, Brown has sold over 30 million albums worldwide and surpassed 10 billion audio streams across digital platforms. He has more Billboard Hot 100 entries than any contemporary male singer alive to date, with 160 consecutive weeks charting on the Hot 100.
