Description
Excellent copy of Bobby Brown’s R&B/Boogie/New Jack Swing/Pop classic “Don’t Be Cruel”. The sleeve and record both look flawless. The faintest bit of ring wear on the top of the back cover. Record is super clean—one small scuff on side 2. Playback is amazing—loud and present. Seriously, an incredible copy. VG++/NM.
Don't Be Cruel peaked at number one on the US Billboard 200 and included five top 10 Billboard Hot 100 hits, with "My Prerogative" being a US number-one hit. Three of the singles also reached number one on Billboard's Hot R&B Songs chart. "My Prerogative" was also the second-biggest single of 1989, ranking at number two on the Billboard Year-End Hot 100 singles of 1989. The album also spent a total of 11 non-consecutive weeks at the top of the Billboard R&B Albums chart over the course of 1988 and 1989. Internationally, it reached number one in Ireland and the top five in Australia, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom.
At the 32nd Grammy Awards, Brown won Best Male R&B Vocal Performance for "Every Little Step".[5] Don't Be Cruel received extremely positive reviews from music critics. It was far more successful than Brown's debut album, spending a total of six weeks on top of the Billboard 200 and being the best-selling album of 1989 in the United States. On April 28, 1995, it was certified 7× Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The album sold over 12 million copies worldwide in total. In 2015, Billboard ranked Don't Be Cruel at number 82 on its list of the Greatest of All Time Billboard 200 Albums.
