In 2010, Brown made an impressive comeback with "Deuces," and defying all odds, 2011's F.A.M.E. Lingering negative public opinion ensured that his third album, 2009's Graffiti, would be a flop. It was released by RCA Records as the second single from the album on December 16, 2016. It features guest vocals from American singer Usher and American rapper Gucci Mane. But his high-profile romance with fellow "pop&B" star Rihanna ended in disaster when he assaulted her on the evening before the 2009 Grammy Awards. 'Party' is a song recorded by American singer Chris Brown for his eighth studio album, Heartbreak on a Full Moon. He solidified his stardom with 2007's platinum Exclusive, which featured "Kiss Kiss," "With You" and "Forever." That same year, Brown got to show off his excellent krumping skills on Stomp the Yard, and he landed a role in This Christmas. His subsequent self-titled debut included two more Top 10 hits. Released on Jive Records in 2005, "Run It!" became the 16-year-old Brown's first No. After his family moved to New York, a label bidding war ensued. Born in Virginia, Brown honed his rapping and singing skills as an adolescent. He seemed very close to achieving pop mega-stardom - until a domestic abuse scandal nearly destroyed his career. With his handsome looks and slick, Michael Jackson-inspired dance moves, Chris Brown became one of the biggest R&B stars of the 2000s. By the end of the decade, Brown underwent a stylistic makeover during which his forebears shifted to the likes of Jodeci, R. Within a few years, Brown became one of the biggest active pop stars with Chris Brown (2005) and Exclusive (2007), multi-platinum albums that produced five more Top Ten singles, including "Kiss Kiss" and "Forever." As a featured artist or duettist, he added to the count with hits such as "No Air," a ballad with Jordin Sparks.

While there was nowhere to go but down, at least in terms of chart positions, the singer, dancer, and occasional rapper was only getting started. Greeted with comparisons to a young Michael Jackson and Usher, Chris Brown arrived in 2005 as a squeaky-clean pop-R&B artist with "Run It!," the first debut single by a male artist to top the Billboard Hot 100 in over a decade.
