Chris was successful but i don't know why people are trying to make it seem like he was '********' when he wasn't.
His album sales have never really been that amazing.

There's no point in discussing worldwide, because Chris is fairly local. But when it comes to the USA, Chris was definitely a huge force in 2008. "Kiss Kiss", "With You", and "Forever" were all massive hits and those 3 songs alone lead his album to over 2 million, without re-release or anything.
Rihanna sold 2.5 million of GGGB with 8 singles, 4 of them being huge, the other 4 were still solid hits, a re-release, and over 1.5 years of non-stop promotion.
And most importantly, Chris was actually memorable due to his performances and dancing skills. People liked HIM. Nobody gave two ***** about Rihanna (and clearly still don't), all she has are her songs, which are written and manufactured for her. Once they go, she goes.
Even now, in North America, I wouldn't say Rihanna is any bigger of a star than Chris Brown. They're equal. But Chris has a more loyal fanbase and if he continues to make a comeback, he'll easily surpass her forgettable ass.
