It was a commercial success, certified 2x Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for scanning two million in the United States.〔 The album also earned Brown his first two Grammy nominations for Best New Artist and Best Contemporary R&B Album at the 49th Grammy Awards. ==Background== Chris Brown was born on May 5, 1989, in Tappahannock, Virginia, started as a rapper, until Brown took pride in his singing. In 2002, at the age of 13, he was discovered at his father's gas station by a production team, who was looking for local talent. In August 2004, Brown, who had adapted the stage name "C-Syzle" and T.J. attracted the attention of Tina Davis, Def Jam Recordings' senior A&R executive, and auditioned them in front of Island Def Jam Music Group CEO Antonio "L. A." Reid. Afterwards, Reid offered to sign both of them on the spot, but Brown claimed Allen had become "greedy" during the prolonged negotiations that spanned in two months.〔〔 Davis advised Brown not to sign the deal.〔 Davis later lost her job, due to restructuring, after Island Def Jam and Roc-A-Fella Records merged. On the same day, Brown hired her as his manager and moved in into her New Jersey's home.〔 After weeks of label searching, Brown had a deal with Jive Records, known for their pop and R&B artists, such as Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake and R. Kelly by Christmas Eve 2005.〔 He also dropped out of tenth grade at his Essex High School in Virginia, in favor of tutoring. Brown then began recording the album in Miami, Florida with Mark Pitts, the Jive's A&R, who has signed Brown to the label. At that point, they have recorded about 50 songs, going into his first album. The album was initially titled ''Young Love'', but the idea was discarded as "too kiddie". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chris Brown (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
