Chris Brown has dominated headlines this week with a historic milestone that cements his legacy in music history. On December first, twenty years after his debut album dropped, the RIAA officially certified Brown's self-titled debut album as four times platinum, representing four million units sold.

Yo Excuse Me Miss jumped to four times platinum, while Gimme That earned two times platinum certification. The ballad Say Goodbye reached three times platinum, and deep cuts Poppin and Ain't No Way You Won't Love Me achieved gold status for the first time, with Ain't No Way You Won't Love Me and Ya Man Ain't Me each hitting five hundred thousand digital units.
