Chris Brown Flips UK ‘Fortune’; Set For 1st British #1

Following a three year crawl back to the top, Chris Brown is seeing the title of latest LP, ‘Fortune’, ring true months ahead of its release.

Indeed, the set’s preceding singles ‘Strip’ and ‘Turn Up The Music’ have soared on charts Stateside, with the latter now on course to achieve a career first for the 22 year old in the UK.

Full story after the jump…

According to the Official Charts Company, ‘Turn Up The Music’ is currently outselling current #1‘Part Of Me’ by Katy Perry, and is en route to becoming Brown’s first ever UK chart-topper.

The closest the dynamo performer has come to achieving the feat was with debut ‘Run It’ – which peaked at #2 seven years ago.

A staple on British airwaves, the release has been boosted by heavy rotation of its Rihanna-featured remix and epic music video.
