Chris Brown’s ‘Fortune’ tops Billboard 200 chart

Singer Chris Brown’s latest album “Fortune” topped the Billboard 200 chart on Wednesday. Though the 23-year-old Virginia native’s album failed to impress critics in early reviews, “Fortune” sold 134,000 copies in its first week. According to Nielsen SoundScan, though “Fortune” debuted in the No. 1 spot, the album still failed to sell as much as the artist’s previous album, “F.A.M.E,” which reached No. 1 with 270,000 copies in its debut week last year. “Fortune,” which features hit songs “Turn Up the Music” and “Till I Die,” was the only new release in the top 10 this week. Katy Perry’s “Teenage Dream,” which was released almost two years ago, took the No. 2 slot with 80,000 unit sales likely due to the release of her new movie “Katy Perry: Part Of Me” and Amazon.com’s offer of the album for 99 cents on July 3.
