The last 12 Months have no doubt been the most successful of Chris's career. From 3 Top 10 Hits on the US Billboard Hot 100 Chart, to various other successful chart positions around the world.
However, Chris Brown's popularity has grown imensely in Ireland over the last 12 Months. It didn't start off all that good though. Both 'Wall To Wall' and 'Kiss Kiss' failed to make a huge impact on the Irish Singles Chart peaking outside the top 30, therefore leaving his album 'Exclusive' to stall outside the top 70. This lead me to think Brown didn't have a huge following in Ireland, but I was proved wrong only weeks later.
Brown's third single 'With You' was released in March of this year, and the Stargate produced song debuted at no.15 and later peaked at no.3, staying inside the top 10 for over 10 weeks. This helped to re-establish a firm fanbase of within Ireland, and also helped his 2nd studio album 'Exclusive' to re-enter the albums chart at no.11.
The album floated within the top 20 for a few weeks, later dropping back outside the top 50. However, all was not lost for Brown as he released his fourth single 'Forever'. The song gained massive airplay accross Irish radio stations, with the video on heavy rotation on all the popular music channels.
'Forever' debuted at no.1 on its release. Although on its second week it fell to no.2, it managed to regain its position at no.1 in its third week. This was Brown's first Irish no.1 Single, and the huge popularity of the song has helped the album 'Exclusive' to climb the charts once again to no.2. It is now evident that Chris Brown has a huge fanbase within Ireland. Hopefully, the album will manage to claim the no.1 spot next week.
