Chris Brown surprised his fans with a special announcement on Twitter today. The singer/songwriter revealed his intentions to release his upcoming ‘F.A.M.E’ album as a double disc.

Brown stated that he has recorded too many songs for just one CD and that he wants to issue the project as a double album. What will be the title of the 2nd disc? Look below for the answer:

The 2nd disc of the set will be entitled ‘Fortune’

This is certainly an intriguing and plausible option. ‘Yeah 3x’ and ‘Look At Me Now (Ft. Busta Rhymes & Lil Wayne)’ target two completely different audiences, thus a if he releases the album as a double disc then the marketing scheme could promote each side to reflect such dissimilarities.

Still, as Brown correctly noted, the cost variable might work against him. He is still repositioning himself in public favour and he the risk of losing sales because of an expensive album could be too high.

Of course, another viable option would be to release a single disc album with the ever-popular deluxe edition version or even issue a re-release later in the year. Either way, he could always save the songs for later use.

oh hear we go, the other day he was on a gay rant today he has tons of cuts to share with the world. My advice to Chris, drop your twitter account, and go to how to not be ignornant school and graduate, then come at me with some music.

He has to come harder than that track with wayne and busta, talking about people on his dick or something. I didn’t listen to the whole thing from what I heard it didn’t make me want to press play again. His old music was so much better.

Everyone has the same angles with their music. Its either the whole "im back, haterz beware" or its "up in the club in the vip shit" or its the ladies singing about getting rid of their man, or better treat me right, shit, can someone step out the fucking box??

Thank you, every urban artist is doing that probably why I had been distancing myself from mainstream Hip Hop& R&B more. Don’t get me wrong I still listen to some of it but I been exposing myself to other genres for a good time now. They can't think of nothing else to talk about , I used to like Keyshia Cole and them but I can't listen to them anymore.

What the fuck ever, Chris.

Yeah i cant put my finger on the exact time that all those "cliches" started and dont get me wrong, there are a fair share of artists that i dig that fall into the traps, but these themes are constantly used and its so limiting, because where do you go with "my man is cheating on me" ok so you dump him next...i mean theres nowhere to go, like Prince said of "bitch this and 40 that" about Rap music being caught in a web, and thats really what most rb is stuck in and has been stuck in, its not really a lack of talent, its the lack of freaking imagination.

new song with pitbull

I think like toward early 2000’s R&B started being about in the club etc and it hasn’t stopped since. All of that is on 106 & park I’m surprise some have not become bored with it because I sure have or maybe they have seeing how Ciara Flopped. I do like Jazmine Sullivan and all she talks about is her man doing her wrong I like her voice though.

That's what avoided me from buying anything from her.

Yeah it leads to alot of lack of individuality. I mean im really loving Teairra Mari and her mixtapes and videos that she is shooting on her own money, but she has that "cliche" going too, and its frustrating because she has this sexy 70's thing about her look going but she is using these cliche terms and angles at times. I think there is going to be some sort of "alteration" in the next few years as someone wakes up and goes other routes, it just seems that rb has been stuck for eons

Teairra Marie is good? She keep hanging around with the soulja Boy/Bow Wow artists I dump them years ago . I remember she was Jay's Girl before Rihanna. Some of the R&B mainstream acts are going pop now .

Where's the new song with Justin Pampers?

You should try her out I think she's one of the few good Female Mainstream R&B acts.

She is pretty good, i mean im not putting her anywhere near say Ameriie who i still feel is the best of the mainstream RB, she had one track that had Soulja Boy on it with Gucci Mane, and its like every other collabo, its good till the wack ass rappers. Jay fucked her over big time, so im glad she is going the mix tape route because with the RB females now, u have to do your own work and make your name and following. She rips apart his "Empire State of Mind" on her mixtape from earlier this year, and makes it about Detriot her hometown.

Its hit and miss but shes got some good stuff with the 70's vibe on some tracks, i hated the Jay Z stuff, glad she went through all that BS and got away from his ass and roc-a-fake records.

Oh please Today's pop artists release double albums as if they're making some important,profound statement.It's just gonna be two albums of songs that sound alike! They need to stop pretending that they created some grand masterpiece like Stevie's SITKOL.

Double albums in this day and age are a joke

Kind of like I am Sasha FIerce, WTF was that? an alter ego that sounds just like the regular person? the thing is that you cant HYPE a double album as a statement, u need to let it make its own statement, U think the Beatles went around HYPING the White Album? shit they put it out because no one was getting along and wanted all their shit on the record, and now its a classic record, no hype needing, damn i so glad twitter and facebook didnt exist in the days of good music and artists

Instead of reading on the autobiographies of their heroes, they need to create their own biographies.

They're only doing a double disc so it can count twice.

Chris Brown is an attention whore

Eh, I don't know, hasn't R & B been stuck in the same box for over fifty years now? From the '40s till the late '60s/early '70s lyrically 99% of R & B was about relationships. There was a bit of a change when some social issues started creeping into the music but I don't honestly think that today's R & B is lyrically in anymore of a box than it was in years past. That's probably true of most music. Maybe it's just that I find that 99% of lyrics in any genre are complete garbage and tend to ignore them.

More imagination was brought into the R&B of the early years. It seemed because R&B had this weird justice-of-the-peace marriage with hip-hop that R&B just focused on beats rather than why it was originally called what it's called = rhythm.

He had the #1 R&B song of 2010 so he needs to strike while his momentum is strong!

Rotating & Blunders chart? How nice.

Oh, I agree that musically there's less variety and imagination today than in years past. Maybe I'm just an old man but too much modern R & B sounds like it's trying to bludgeon my ears into submission which is not a pleasant sensation to experience. However, lyrically I don't think that pre '90s R & B was vastly superior to what we are getting today. Generally speaking it has always had a fairly narrow focus when it comes to the lyrics.

Lyrics were always secondary lol unless you made that song with such conviction, it wasn't gonna work. That's why it was called rhythm and blues in the first place. Now you can't seem to locate the blues nor the rhythm. They turned the blues into some soulless bubblegum crap.
