Is Chris Brown the biggest musical star of our generation?
Whether you choose to accept it or not, he is inescapable. He is never not talked about and has recovered from unfortunate incidents so well and comes out on top with countless hits (and no that wasn't a pun so don't try to make this into something else).
Everyone seems to love his music also. He makes music for all people I think. He will obviously be around for a long time and will continue to solidify his legendary status.
BUT he's an established urban artist and most people know his name. He is the role model and influence of many Kpop acts too so he has some international pull as well.
