Chris Brown probably thought his public apology for assaulting Rihanna would be the first step to launching his official comeback. Turns out a Minnesota couple he’s never met before has done way more in the way of positive PR than his apology ever could.
Jill Peterson and Kevin Heinz broke tradition by having their wedding procession shimmy down the aisle to Brown’s hit song “Forever.” The video, which was posted on YouTube for their friends and family who were unable to attend the ceremony, made its way around the internet and spread like wildfire. The pair even made an appearance on Good Morning America to chat about their unlikely stardom.
But with their unlikely ascent into internet fame came an unlikely comeback for Brown. As the video grew more popular, so did “Forever.” The song gained a whole new audience who quickly turned their fascination with the couple and their wedding day soundtrack into serious digital downloads. “Forever” shot up the iTunes top songs chart and back into the top ten for the first time in almost a year.
The song heated up the charts in 2008, but it suffered a major hit after Brown was arrested for the Grammy morning brawl with his then-girlfriend; Brown’s Wrigley’s Doublemint Gum commercial, which featured the song, was pulled from TV and radio stations began pulling his music from their playlists.
Brown is currently in the studio working on the follow-up to his album, Exclusive.
that is great, i love the video of that wedding haha it was funny and awesome, and of course very creative, btw people need to move on already and let him get himself back in line, and i love Chris’s song Forever ever ever Forever ever ever :D
Let Chris make his comeback please and all the haters leave him alone and get a life!!! Luv U Chris!!! XOXOXO
#7 now and rising!
my guess is the couple had no clue what this cunt did to the woman he “loved” before using this song or else they are really stupid. the only place chris brown should be dancing forever is behind bars.
wow..for some reason I had tears in my eyes. How wonderful. I didnt know weddings could be so fun. LOL!
I wish people would get over the dramatics. There wedding was June 20th so they were fully aware of the incident. Chris is an artist and he does his job very well. You can’t deny his talent.
i am happy for cb..i think they chose the best time to post the video..i think his apology did wonders becasue i am sure they would not have posted it before even if it was for thier friends.. i think the fact that its was chris browns song and was catchy also helped coz if they picked any other song/artist dnt think they would had gotten such coverage..this is great for both chris and the couple..i loved it and wish them all the best..it was fun..it has already been viewed over 6 million times in such a short space of time.. wow…wringleys better be thinking about bringing those ads back and feature this couple..that will be good and fun..go chris and good start for a comeback!!! you got my supprt 100%
