Brown worked with several record producers and songwriters for the album, including Kevin McCall, Jean-Baptiste, Brian Kennedy, DJ Frank E, The Underdogs and The Messengers, among others. The album featured several guest appearances, including Kevin McCall, Tyga, Lil Wayne, Busta Rhymes, Ludacris, Justin Bieber, Benny Benassi, Wiz Khalifa, Game, Timbaland and Big Sean. Musically, ''F.A.M.E.'' combines the musical genres of R&B, pop, hip hop and Europop. Upon its release, the album received mixed reviews from most music critics, who were ambivalent towards its songwriting and material. The album debuted at number one on the US ''Billboard'' 200 chart, with first-week sales of 270,000, Brown's first number-one album in the United States. It was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), for selling more than 500,000 copies. The album garnered three Grammy Award nominations at the 54th annual ceremony, eventually winning Best R&B Album. ''F.A.M.E.'' also won Album of the Year at the 2011 Soul Train Music Awards. The album spawned three hit singles, "Yeah 3x", "Look at Me Now" and "Beautiful People". "Yeah 3x" and "Beautiful People" were commercially successful in Oceania and some European regions. In the United States, "Look at Me Now" reached number one on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts. To support the album, Brown embarked on his F.A.M.E. Tour in Australia and North America. == Background and development == In September 2010, Kevin McCall revealed that Brown had begun work on his fourth studio album, and mentioned that he had been recording music with Brown and Timbaland for the album. On September 18, 2010, Brown announced that the album would be titled, ''F.A.M.E''. The acronym of the title has two meanings, "Forgiving All My Enemies" and "Fans Are My Everything". On Christmas Day 2010, Brown confirmed via Twitter that he would be collaborating on a track with Canadian recording artist Justin Bieber. He also shared plans of a possible collaboration with Bruno Mars, stating "ME and BRUNO MARS are doing an incredible record soon ... (like 2011 ELVIS and MICHAEL) gonna be a movie!!!!". Wiz Khalifa, Asher Roth and Game were also known to have been working with Brown on the album. In describing the album, Brown said, "On this album some of the songs are more grown-up. There are songs from all genres: from street records to others that are real soul, 808 heavy that you'll hear in the club, and then others are strictly for the heart; songs that your mom and grandma can listen to and love. Collectively, ''F.A.M.E.'' is me giving fans every aspect of who I am as far as my art, my culture, and my concepts." 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「F.A.M.E.
