How on earth is Chris Brown still successfully releasing music?

On November 11, Chris Brown released his eleventh studio album 11:11, a numerology-inspired release named after a time of supposed spiritual significance and transition, which came along with feature spots from Future, Fridayy and Byron Messia, as well as Afrobeats stars Davido and Lojay.

It follows on from the wildly popular Breezy, which earned Brown his twentieth Grammy nomination to date (he won Best Album for F.A.M.E in 2012) and helped him to overtake Elvis Presley for total number of gold-certified records. Among that record's many guest stars: Lil Wayne, Anderson .Paak, H.E.R, Jack Harlow, Wizkid, and Tory Lanez.
