💨 Abstract

Chris Brown has surpassed Michael Jackson as the best-selling black male vocalist in RIAA history, with over 163 million US sales. This achievement is largely attributed to streaming, which was not prevalent during Jackson's career. Brown received nine new certifications from the RIAA, including a five-times platinum certification for his single "Run It!" which features rapper Juelz Santana. This milestone coincides with the 20-year anniversary of Brown's debut album.
