I don't think we can say any tracks are as yet confirmed. The album comes out in 5-6 months and I doubt that the final album track list has been created. In an interview ( [1]) there was said to be up to 50 candidate songs that may make the final album cut. So my point is that we should rename the section Confirmed tracks to Recorded tracks until we get an official track list. It's just not correct to state "Confirmed" at this time. -- 2nyte ( talk) 02:24, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
I think the album release date is incorrect as I can't find any source that says it will be released in June. I have found many saying July/August/September, some included in the article. -- 2nyte ( talk) 13:01, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
eh? i don't understand? i come back to show friend but all the details have changed!!! is he really collaborating with lionel richie? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.238.91.195 ( talk) 21:58, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
I consider Chris Brown to be more of a music industry personality than a music industry artist. My girlfriend told me she read on dxhiphop.com that he was or still is currently, secretly recording with Lionel Richie. I think because he can dance but make quite simplified music however generally be quite talented on the street, he should be regarded as more a personality than artist in the article. I will propose that edit now but I think I will be declined as you probably find it offensive. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.234.214.63 ( talk) 19:03, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
I see my edit has once again been reverted. In that case then, can you please explain to me how exactly Chris Brown should be regarded as an "artist" rather than personality, in my mind, because he is clearly plagarasing other peoples work and getting extremely rich off of it. So rich in fact, he must have made Forbes magazine, then, I think worst of all, has the absolute arrogance to shove it in our faces. I might as well follow him to the bank with him high on laughing gas. We just want a valid explanation as to how you see Chris Brown. and why, without just, if I may, reverting our edits without saying a word. If you want to join me and discuss this in the talk page then I am quite willing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.234.214.63 ( talk) 03:54, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
Yes, I apologise I did become subjective. But I disagree with you as to whether my point falls over, because I believe it still stands. Now, I will warn you, this is going to become rather subjective again, however, this does ultimately relate to the article, and that is how Chris Brown should be presented then regarded within it. This is a man who is no better than a con-artist with none of his own original ideas, it is called creativity. Creativity is something that is vital as an "artist". Thus, he should be regarded as not an artist, but as a personality, within the article. I would rather see him being regarded as a personality not artist but if you have the one other majority then I think we will leave it that fair and square. I still, unfortunately, disagree with you. Thank you and hopefully the album will be a success for everyones sakes. If not, I'm pretty sure some people are going to be held liable without a doubt but then we get in to the businsss end of what they do and your every day music fan is typically ignorant to that aspect of their work. Thank you again and have a nice day or night. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.234.214.63 ( talk) 05:58, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
I will go away and find out what I can do as in research I might need about two months oh and by the way, I wasn't actually being accusatory to Chris Brown. Like I wouldn't be accusatory to only Obama for being a terrible president and joined together like siamese twins to Ford. Okay, until next time now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.234.214.63 ( talk) 23:33, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
Yeah I have to back you up on this one 60.234.214.63, her boyfriend is also guilty of this arrogance. If you can get the evidence and present it to us in a way that follows Wikipedia policy then please do so. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.123.21.98 ( talk) 21:39, 9 May 2013 (UTC)
Huh? What you say makes no sense? Do you mean Rihanna? If you did, yeah I agree with you she is a total diva now what happened to the nicer girls like Vanessa Hudgens and Hilary Duff. As I said, will try and research then get back to you I might make headline news. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.234.214.63 ( talk) 02:09, 10 May 2013 (UTC)
Look what I found, according to this report by MSN he has been not using his own original ideas by plagarising house music from other smaller time recording personalities. Here is the link... http://social.entertainment.msn.com/music/blogs/blog--chris-brown-and-william-accused-of-plagiarism .... What I would like to do now I have ran it by all of you is probably add it to the Chris Brown article where it will be most appropriate, not here. I can do it, but not right now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.123.21.98 ( talk) 04:45, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
I read he is collaborating with Lionel Richie, I have a source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.234.54.157 ( talk) 23:11, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
Actually I think Chris Brown should be regarded as a pop star in the article. Recording artist, that title, I don't believe he deserves. Recording personality is a bit out of left field, so I think pop star is a better suited title for this star. Do the caretakers of this article agree or shall we just leave it at recording artist? -- ( 60.234.54.177 ( talk) 11:23, 6 June 2013 (UTC))
I agree I will try and change the description to pop star. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.97.150.51 ( talk) 21:00, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
Page is protected. Can the caretaker of this article please speak up instead of remaining reclusive. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.97.150.51 ( talk) 21:02, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
How is that subjective? Pop star means exactly how it reads, in Chris Browns case, a personality who is in popular music or in other words, the top forty. Actually I think you are being a bit ridiculous STATicVerseatide.
What? Why does the initial information of this album on the article page on the far right say "Released"? This is incorrect, that should read something different but not that, because that is describing something in the past-tense and July 16th is a way way away yet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.48.117.222 ( talk) 06:25, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
I read Chris Brown has delayed his album to January 13th next year.
Could we please have a vote and debate on the correct description for Chris Brown? I am happy with either pop singer or my original idea, recording personality. The case I have against recording artist is that I don't consider FruityLoops or Anvil Studio to be art. Furthermore he is a singer more than anything else, then personality, and if at all, artist third. I just want this cleared up and I think it should be done so appropriately. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.234.214.63 ( talk) 14:04, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
Brown's third single "Love More" has a digital and a radio release with cover art and all, but has no charts yet! So would it be okay to create the article even if its not charted, but has release history?! Chicago Wiz 00:37, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
Okay, but I did find the sources for the igital and radio releases! But I'll wait for the rest of it! Chicago Wiz 01:17, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
I would like to re-iterate changing "recording artist" to pop star please. Because I think I am right with my description and why is because he can dance well as well as be a talented vocalist and program music, essentially making him a computer programmer as well - thus, finally, pop star, not recording artist. Please get back to me soon about this article caretaker as to whether you will give in and we can run with my suggestion for the latter part of this articles better quality of life. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.234.214.63 ( talk) 11:45, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
singer, singer, singer, singer, rapper, rapper, rapper, recording artist. The terms are used everywhere, we will not be changing it to "pop star". Thank you. STATic message me! 17:53, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
No, get it right. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.234.214.63 ( talk) 08:42, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

Amazon.com removed the December 3rd release date, so i'm guessing it's pushed back. So should we remove it? Koala15 ( talk) 01:13, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
I'm pretty sure "Loyal" is a single from this album, if it does not end up on the tracklist it is just a promo single. Koala15 ( talk) 01:31, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
It says that album was released May 5th 2014, well, it's way past May 5th 2014 now, and the album has not been released. Someone should remove that before an edit war happens! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.138.180.140 ( talk) 01:42, 22 May 2014 (UTC)
On the track listing, when "Brandy" is clicked on, it goes to the beverage, not the singer. Shouldn't it redirect to the Brandy Norwood page? Someone obviously forgot to do that 108.46.195.106 ( talk) 21:43, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

X Album Currently has 1.1 Bilion Streams on the Streaming platform Spotify, its 1 of 3 of his recent albums to achieve this, This needs to be added on this page. KamKamanga ( talk) 22:02, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
There is a pattern of blatant vandalism and cherrypicking on this article whereby conseriable sourced content is being removed without justification or any sound explination. Moreover, cherrypicking is being done to selectively highlight only negative reception, thereby violating WP:NPOV. It's quite sad to see this kind of editorial biased, which is consistent with the editorial bias present on other album articles of said artist. Failure to provide justification for all these changes on this talk page will result in the article being reverted to its prior state before the vandalism occured.
This: “The album received positive reviews from critics, who celebrated Brown's performances, the record's clean and diversified sound, and the writing style of different songs. The album was considered a big improvement compared to its critically panned predecessor Fortune.” Is nothing short of fancruft and is a completely false assessment of the album’s reception. The album has a 63 on Metacritic, which barely meets the threshold for positive reviews. That said, it also holds an equal 8 positive reviews and 8 mixed reviews, with many of the positive reviews critiquing parts of the album and a plethora of the mixed reviews leaning negative. To remove any and all criticism of the album and only include the positive reviews in the reception section is just vandalism at its most obvious, and the fact that I’m dealing with a Chris Brown superfan who’s threatening me with admin intervention and being forced to create this talk page, of which will likely get zero traction, it’s ridiculous. Regardless, open for discussion. Aardwolf68 ( talk) 13:37, 9 September 2023 (UTC)
