Chris Brown's bad boy act is paying off.
Singer Chris Brown angrily stormed out of a TV studio on Tuesday, reigniting controversy over his 2009 assault on singer Rihanna but helping to send his new album to the top of iTunes charts.Jacked from Yahoo
Brown, 21, who has struggled to repair his image after hitting and punching his then girlfriend two years ago, left behind a smashed window in his dressing room after dodging questions about the incident in an interview on ABC television's "Good Morning America".
News of the outburst divided fans of the R&B singer, while viewers of ABC's highly-rated TV competition "Dancing with the Stars" demanded the cancellation of a a planned performance by Brown on next week's show.
However, Brown's new album "F.A.M.E", on the Jive record label, was the top downloaded album on Apples' iTunes store on its first day of release Tuesday, an Apple spokesman said.
Brown's music career stalled after he pleaded guilty to assaulting Rihanna in February 2009, setting off a national debate on young, abusive relationships.
He publicly apologized, then underwent court-ordered domestic violence counseling and spent six months performing community service.
But when pressed about the incident on "Good Morning America", Brown appeared annoyed and said; "It's not really a big deal to me now, as far as that situation. I think I'm past that in my life. Today's the album day, so that's what I'm focused on."
He followed up with a Twitter message -- according to media reports and later deleted from his account -- saying "I'm so over people bringing this past shit up!!! Yet we praise Charlie sheen and other celebs for there bullshit." (Spelling and grammar are unchanged).
Some fans agreed. "We love you Chris!! There's no reason for anyone to even ask him about Rihanna anymore, ABC should have had something better to talk about as that is old," wrote supporter nthnbtlove on the MTV message boards.
But viewers of ABC's top-rated reality show "Dancing with the Stars" felt differently. Brown is scheduled to sing on the show in a week's time.
"His freak out on GMA proves how scary and unpredictable he is. If ABC does not do the right thing and ban him, I will have no choice but to not watch that episode," wrote chadcronin on the official "Dancing" message boards.
ABC did not return calls for comments on Brown's planned "Dancing with the Stars" appearance.
ABC News said in a statement; "As always, we asked questions that are relevant and newsworthy, and that's what we did in this interview with Mr. Brown."

Its not even so much that; we doggin Chris, but I take Robin to task for pushing the envelope and asking questions that she wasn't supposed to, and I also fault Chris' manager for not intervening when the questioning was becoming out of line. I don't agree with him trashing his dressing room, but I understand WHY he did it. He has apologized to EVERYONE and did his community service; he deserves a second chance like everyone else except pedophiles, and here Robin's A$$ goes bringing up things from 2 freakin' years ago!!
This boy pre-approved the questions before they were even asked. I think this is just another publicity stunt for the drama queen. He should have told them from the beginning what he will and will not talk about, just like every other entertainer.
chris is stupid straight up , he right it happened 2 year ago so he should have a iron clad answer , just say i regret it it im sorry, i leaned my lesson ect.. robin was giving him an asset to make him look good by having a proper answer. but Chris is just a nigger and took the nigger way out. he so stupid he could of looked like a reformed women beater instead he looks like to immature rageoholic.
i agree with 1.14 .........if u watch the video she was actually helping that dumb bitch ass nigga. she was setting him up for a good look and redemption. that was like an assist from rondo under the basket and this idiot drops the pass outta bounds. all he had to do was follow her lead, say how he worked hard etc etc blah blah blah, and boom 1 million more record sales. even without breakin the window, just the way he acted on the show will make him lose alot of sales
@ 1:14 & 1:20 PM: CHOICH!!!!
Why the "f" they keep talking about the past? It's dead so burry it damn it!
I was at his listening party and his cd is on fire. He was so happy and everybody was showing him love. Dude put on an excellent show, Chris is a true singer, entertainer and he's fine as hell in person.
CB has to ask himself why he keeps shooting himself in the foot- very self-destructive.
9.11 why you talking about the past listening party was yesterday his album was made in the past its dead burry , bu real talk only thing dead is his career he'll never see a plat plaque again
LEAVE THE BOY ALONE...IF RIHANNA STOP TALKING ABOUT IT WHY IS THAT ROBIN BITCH TRYING TO KEEP THAT SITUATION "ALIVE"...HE MADE A MISTAKE HE PAID HIS PRICE AND DID HIS TIME SO LET HIM LIVE!
