Chris Brown certifies Gold

Chris Brown can truly say look at me now after the news he received yesterday. His comeback album, F.A.M.E., has officially certified gold with the RIAA. His first two albums both went double platinum and his previous album barely certified.

Brown has been through a lot over the past two years. Initially, the fans and the media loved him and his bubbly personality. Like everyone else, though, Chris Brown proved he was human. He got into a public fight with then-girlfriend, Rihanna, and his career fell apart.

The media labeled Chris Brown an abuser and he lost everything. Brown has been chastized by the media ever since. The Virginia singer saw his album being placed behind shelves in Walmart and had to get used to fans booing him. Still, he remained determined.

With everything he lost, Chris Brown continued to work, using this as his motivation. After recording two mixtapes in 2010, Brown returned with an album back in March. His singles were receiving heavy radio play and all of a sudden, he is now known as R&B's bad boy. The title became official when Chris Brown received the news he was RIAA certified, once again.
