We might be celebrating Breezy's career with this list of the Top 10 Chris Brown Songs, but Chris Brown himself also has a lot to celebrate. He's finally back on top after enduring some highs and some very personal lows in his career. Although many haven't forgiven him for his domestic violence incident that occurred with Rihanna in 2009, he seems to making amends by releasing several chart-topping hits. The Virginia native is determined to reclaim the R&B throne that he once ruled as a youngster in 2005, and he seems well on his way after snagging a 2012 Grammy for his 'F.A.M.E.' LP. Hopefully, Breezy's new album 'Fortune' (due July 3) will further his progression. So in celebration of Brown's 23rd birthday today, May 5, here is PopCrush's list of the Top 10 Chris Brown Songs.
