The Chris Brown marketing team is running full blast despite the tepid reception of his come back single “Wall to Wall,” which peaked at #79 on Billboards Hot 100.
The Virginia native’s album Exclusive was recently pushed back from August 28 to an October 30 release date - it seems all the kool kids are pushing back their albums. But that didn’t stop him from covering the latest issue’s of Giant and Vibe, the latter using the child porn esque cover line, “I’m still a virgin, in your eyes,” – looks like Vibe is getting that glossy mojo back.
What’s most interesting about the Vibe cover is that there seems to be a conscience movement to “age” Chris up in the media. And we aren’t sure his tween fans are buying it. Success isn’t coming as easily as it did for his self-titled freshman album, considering that Chris believed Exclusive would be his Thriller moment, it’s looking more like Blood on the Dancefloor. Maybe it’s those fresh lyrics contained in, “Wall to Wall?”
Despite all of that, success is only a single away, will he turn things around with his T-Pain influenced second single, “Kiss Kiss?” Or will Exclusive end up exclusively at the bottom of the charts - again?
