Chris Brown's 'F.A.M.E.' tops Billboard 200 album chart with more than a quarter of a million copies sold

Looks like Team Breezy didn’t let their man down this week.

The ride-or-die followers of embattled pop star Chris Brown lifted his fourth album, F.A.M.E., to a No. 1 debut on the Billboard 200 albums chart. It’s the second album since the infamous February 2009 incident that nearly cost him his career. The first, December 2009′s ill-received Graffiti, was a (relative) dud—pushing out just over 100,000 copies in its first week for a No. 7 opening.

Thirteen months later, it appears that aside from last week’s much-covered relapse, Brown is back. F.A.M.E. moved 270,000 units in its first seven days out. It’s the first time he’s topped the albums chart and the sales figures earn him 2011′s second best debut behind Adele’s 352,00 for 21. Trying to figure out how Brown made it to No. 1? Well, you can start here.

Jennifer Hudson’s sophomore set I Remember Me starts at No. 2, selling 165,000 albums. And Adele’s 21, last week’ s No. 1, drops to No. 3 with a still-impressive 96,000 albums sold.

Check out the full top 10 list after the jump.

Did you buy his album or any of the others in the top 10?

Look at his cock and you'd see why he made an epic return....i think he released those onpurpose.

LOL. O_O

I don't really think anyone who saw his nude picture bought his cd.

To me that is just a sad attempt at publicity but I guess it worked for him.

I didn't buy any CD [have not bought one since Dec] but I really am happy for Adele.

Love her and she is selling a ton of CD's in the US.

Dude...Rihanna forgave him after she was reminded of what he's packing

That's nice for her to forgive him but stupid reason imo.

You clearly haven't seen it that's why
