Graffiti, which was released on December 7th, 2009, was the outcome. Although the album opened at number 7 on Billboard’s 200 chart, it received negative reviews from critics who referred to it as “bland” and “insufferable.” After receiving negative reviews for “Graffiti,” Brown began work on “F.A.M.E,” his fourth studio album. It was launched on March 18, 2011, and became Brown’s first album to reach number one on the Billboard 200 chart.

On June 29, 2012, Brown released “Fortune,” which debuted at the top of the Billboard 200 chart just over a year later.
 
The album, however, received widespread criticism for being “shameless” and “uncomfortable”. The recording of Brown’s sixth studio album, “X,” which was launched on September 16, 2014, took two years. The album debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 chart, failing to debut at number one for the first time since “Graffiti.” However, the album did earn a lot more good feedbacks and an usually more supportive critical response.
