Chris Brown Debuts At #1, Jennifer Hudson Lands At #2

Critics who thought Chris Brown's GMA outburst would affect his record sales were proven wrong today. At least those who thought it would affect it negatively.

Chris debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 and he earned the second best 1st week sales tally of 2011. Get the deets on his numbers inside along with how Jennifer Hudson performed....

Perhaps there really is no such thing as bad publicity. In fact, the headlines around the world may have caused people to pay closer attention to Chris Brown and his music. His F.A.M.E. album debuts atop the Billboard 200 with 273,346 sales, making it the second-largest debut of the year after Adele’s previous 351k.

Sales of F.A.M.E. greatly improved upon the 102,000 first week sales of Graffiti (his first post-Rihanna album) but still fell behind the sales of Exclusive, which sold 294,000 copies back in 2007.

And if you're asking "Where U At" about Jennifer Hudson's sales, she did well also coming in at #2. She sold 167,373 copies.
