He really stepped up his game here from his debut! Wow! Definitely his best album and his most consistent one, by far! I love all the tracks, including the ones on Forever edition. It was released on November 6, 2007 by Jive Records. It debuted at number four on the US Billboard 200, selling 295,000 copies in the first week. The album was supported by six singles, with three of the singles becoming top three hits on the Billboard Hot 100, and also charting highly on other charts worldwide. The album earned a quadruple platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in the United States.
On June 3, 2008, Exclusive was re-released as a double-disc deluxe edition, titled The Forever Edition, which includes 4 more songs, including the singles "Forever" and "Superhuman", a bonus DVD featuring behind-the-scenes footage from his tour and his music videos.
Chris was originally going to name the album "Graduation" but changed it to "Exclusive" out of respect for Kanye. Chris co-wrote half of the tracks along with different writers, including Sean Garrett, James Fauntleroy, Johntá Austin and Tank. The musical direction aimed for the album was different to the hip hop soul-influenced sound of the previous album, being worked as an R&B album appealable to a wider public
What are your fave tracks and memories from the album?
