Chris Brown Set for Sixth Straight Top 10 Album Chris Brown is on the verge of earning his sixth consecutive top 10 album on theBillboard 200 chart — his entire output of releases. The artist’s new X, which was released Sept. 16 on RCA Records, could debut in the No. 2 slot on the next Billboard 200 chart. Industry forecasters suggest the album could sell around 130,000 to 140,000 copies in the week ending Sept. 21. The Billboard 200’s new top 10 will be revealed on Wednesday, Sept. 24. X follows Brown’s last studio effort, 2012’s Fortune, which debuted at No. 1, selling 135,000 copies in its first week, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Previous to that, he hit No. 1 with F.A.M.E. (2011) and racked up three more top 10s: Graffiti(No. 7, 2009), Exclusive (No. 4, 2007) and his self-titled debut (No. 2, 2005). Blocking Brown from the top slot will likely be Barbra Streisand's new duets album, Partners. The all-star collaborative set could start with 175,000 — a better start than forecast earlier in the week. On Sept. 17, the day after the album’s release, sources pegged Partners to launch with around 150,000. If Partners debuts at No. 1, Streisand will earn her 10th No. 1 album and become the first act with No. 1s in each of the last six decades (’60s, ’70s, ’80s, ’90s, ’00s and ’10s). Her most recent No. 1 came with 2009’s Love Is the Answer. Streisand and Brown’s latest albums lead a starry release week, where they join new efforts from Tim McGraw, George Strait, Train and Slash. source: Billboard
