http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7499873&rws=%2Fchris-brown%2Fdiscography.rssIn 2005, a 16-year-old Chris Brown stormed the pop and R&B charts with his self-titled debut album (Number One R&B, Number Two Pop) and smash hit "Run It!" (Number One R&B, Number 1 Pop). The album presented trendy electronic production techniques and updated homages to Brown's heroes Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson and Usher. <br><br> Born Christopher Maurice Brown on May 5th, 1989, in the small town of Tappahannock, in Virginia's Northern Neck, he began dancing at age 2 and singing at 11, but initially aspired to be a rapper. Around that time, his father met a record producer while working his gas station job. Brown eventually signed with Jive Records, which teamed him with a string of name songwriters and producers including Jermaine Dupri and Scott Storch. In addition to the jaunty "Run It!" (featuring rapper Juelz Santana and a video that showed off Brown's plentiful dancing skills), <I>Chris Brown</I> yielded hits with the smooth bubblegum R&B of "Yo (Excuse Me Miss)" (Number Two R&B; Number Seven Pop, 2005) and the R&B/hip-hop tracks "Gimme That" (Number Five R&B; Number 15 Pop, 2006) with Lil Wayne, and "Poppin'" (Number Five R&B; Number 42 Pop, 2006). The album won the young singer with the boyish face a string of awards in 2006 including Soul Train's Best R&B Soul New Artist, BET's Best New Artist, Teen Choice's Male Breakout Artist and Billboard's Male Artist of the Year, New Artist of the Year and overall Artist of the Year. <br><br> Before releasing his second album, Brown headlined the Up Close and Personal Tour (which also included Bow Wow, Ne-Yo and Lil Wayne) and stole the show at 2007's MTV Video Music Awards, performing a tightly choreographed medley that included Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean." <I>Exclusive</I> (Number Two R&B; Number Four Pop, 2007) arrived in November 2007 and broadened his musical palette with help from collaborators Will.i.am, Big Boi and Kanye West. The album yielded a blockbuster hit with rapper T-Pain, "Kiss Kiss" (Number One Pop; Number Two R&B, 2007), as well as the acoustic-based R&B/pop ballad "With You" (Number Two Pop; Number Five R&B, 2007). Shortly after the album came out, Brown made his second big-screen appearance in the holiday film <I>This Christmas</I> (he previously starred in the college dance film <I>Stomp the Yard</I> and made several television appearances). "Kiss Kiss" was nominated for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration at the 50th Grammy Awards.
