Chris Brown’s ‘Royalty’ Debuts at No. 3 on Billboard 200 Chart

No matter what you may think of Chris Brown, the man's star power is undeniable and he has the record sales to back it up. Royalty, Breezy's seventh official release, comes in at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 chart with 184,000 units moved in its first week. The album is CB's seventh top-7 debut with each of the previous selling enough copies over time to earn at least Gold status.

Last week's other big release, Pusha T's Darkest Before Dawn, came in at No. 20 on the Top 200 chart and at No. 1 on the U.S. Rap chart with 45,000 units sold. The record did not fare as well as Push's 2013 My Name Is My Name which charted as high as No. 4. The G.O.O.D. Music president is hitting the road for a 22-date tour that will kickoff in March and hopefully boost album sales.

Elsewhere on the chart, The Weeknd's Beauty Behind the Madness remained in the top 10, Fetty Wap's self-titled debut came in at No. 21, G-Eazy's When It's Dark Out dropped ten spots to No. 28 and Bryson Tiller's T R A P S O U L dipped slightly to No. 33.

With a fifth straight week at No. 1, Adele remains the undisputed queen of the music world and there's no end to her reign in sight. Along with her most recent album 25, her previous record 21 sold 71,000 copies to rise to No. 10.
