X is the sixth studio album by American recording artist Chris Brown; it was released on September 16, 2014, by RCA Records. The album serves as the follow-up to his fifth album Fortune (2012).

X received generally positive reviews from music critics, who celebrated the record's diverse sound, but were ambivalent towards its lyrical content. The album was also considered an improvement compared to its critically panned predecessor Fortune.

Commercially, the album debuted at number 2 on the US Billboard 200 selling 146,000 copies in its first week, becoming his first album to miss the summit of the chart since Graffiti (2009) and his third album to go to number 2 on the chart overall following Exclusive (2007). It also became his sixth consecutive top ten debut in the United States.

Preceding the album's release by five singles, including "Fine China", "Don't Think They Know", "Love More", "Loyal" and "New Flame". The album's fourth single "Loyal" became the most successful single on the album, by peaking at number 9 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and at number 10 in the United Kingdom. Pushing the promotion for the album further, Brown performed and appeared at several televised music events and music festivals across the United States.

Background

On November 8 2012, in an interview with radio station Power 106 at Los Angeles, California, Brown debuted, which was supposed to be his first single "Nobody's Perfect" for his upcoming sixth album, then under the working title of Carpe Diem, due for release in 2013.[1] The single was never released and after concluding his Carpe Diem Tour in 2012, word of Brown's next studio album started to develop. MTV News confirmed development of the album, with Brown collaborating with producers, such as Timbaland, Danja and Diplo.[2]

On March 26, 2013, Brown announced the release of X, by visited in various interviews and listening sessions.[3] In an interview with Ebony, when Brown spoke of taking his music in a different direction and changing his sound from pop-infused and sexually explicit, to a more mature, soulful and vulnerable theme for the album.[4] Brown explained the significance of the title:

It's the Roman numeral for 10. 5/5/89 is my birthday: 5 plus 5 is 10, and this is my tenth year since I got into music. 'X' is the 24th letter in the alphabet, and I will turn 24 when this album comes out. 'X' is also a metaphor, as in 'ex-girlfriend': it implies you're progressing and moving on in life, not holding on to the past and your old ways.

He explained his mindset of making the album as:

I tried to stay away from the Euro beats, and not go totally pop. Instead, I wanted to take the Quincy Jones approach. The record pays homage to the Stevie Wonders, the Michael Jacksons, the Sam Cookes. I wanted to put that classic essence of R&B and soul with the new age of music now. There’s a lot of live instruments, and a lot less Auto-Tune. I really wanted to demonstrate my vocal ability, creating the vibe of me singing along with a band.

X received generally positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from critics, the album received an average score of 63, which indicates "generally favorable reviews", based on 11 reviews.[54] Christopher R. Weingarten of Rolling Stone said, "Chris Brown's sixth album is adventurous musically and a total mess lyrically – it's almost defiantly oblivious to his past as a domestic-abuser. Throughout, Brown plays the victim: He pretends he's a spurned lover ("X"), claims he was lied to ("Stereotype", which opens with the line "Why are my hands bleeding?") and only engages in self-reflection on a set of sad-sack EDM tracks."[50] Mikael Wood of the Los Angeles Times said, "Though it sags toward the end, the long-delayed X contains some of his sharpest work, including the propulsive “Time for Love” and “Add Me In", a chewy soul-funk tune in which he accents his vocals with percussive gasps a la Michael Jackson."[49] Marcus K. Dowling of HipHopDX stated, "Personality aside, Chris Brown’s ability to succeed artistically at delivering sounds in all three sectors of urban Pop makes this release a great, yet disjointed listen. From commercially dominant ratchet Rap/Soul to heartfelt and yearning album cuts to EDM-styled party tracks, Brown’s attempts at appealing to all corners of the urban Pop spectrum at-present are commendable, but possibly a case of the vocalist doing too much."[48]

Miranda Johnson of XXL said, "X certainly proves that Chris Brown’s talent will forever shine through over whatever troubles come his way. With that said, even though the final product comes after a string of problems, the album’s mix of genres, producers and collaborators is sure to be another chart-topping effort for Breezy. It’s safe to say that Chris Brown will forever remain the consumer’s guilty pleasure."[53] Evan Rytlewski of The A.V. Club stated, "Running 21 tracks and 75 minutes in its deluxe edition, X sometimes threatens to be too much. But there’s enough appealing material to support that runtime. After a troubled stretch that saw the singer finding new ways to bottom out, Brown has emerged with his strongest album, and the first since his 2009 implosion where tolerating his toxic worldview isn’t a prerequisite for enjoying it."[45]

Commercial performance

The album debuted at number 2 on the Billboard 200, with first-week sales of 146,000 copies in the United States.[55] In its second week, the album dropped to number 6 on the chart, selling 36,000 copies.[56] In its third week, the album dropped down to number 9 on the chart, selling 23,000 copies.[57] In its fourth week, the album dropped down to number 21 on the chart, selling 16,000 copies.[58] As of May 2015, the album has sold 381,000 copies in the United States alone.[59]
