Chris Brown is the self-titled debut album by American pop/R&B singer Chris Brown, released on November 29, 2005 (see 2005 in music) on Jive Records. It entered the U.S. Billboard 200 chart at number two, selling more than 155,000 copies. Within five weeks after release, it had gone platinum. To date, it has sold 2 million copies in the U.S. and over three million worldwide. It has been recently been certified Double Platinum. It also peaked at number one on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.

The album's lead single was "Run It!", which features rapper Juelz Santana, and was produced by Scott Storch. It received continuous airplay (topping the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay), and reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100, where it stayed for five weeks. It replaced "Gold Digger" by Kanye West featuring Jamie Foxx, and was that was replaced by Mariah Carey's "Don't Forget About Us". It also topped Billboard Pop 100. Other singles released from the album include "Yo (Excuse Me Miss)", another U.S. top ten hit for Brown, as well as "Gimme That", released as a remix featuring rapper Lil Wayne, and the fourth single, "Say Goodbye", which peaked at number ten in the U.S. The fifth and final single from the album, "Poppin'", charted outside the U.S. top forty. The album was known for being clean-cut and not as dirty and racy as a lot of other singers.(ex. Justin Timberlake, Akon, T-Pain). That soon changed on Chris Brown's second album Exclusive a much more grown-up Chris appear on that album.
