"'''Ain't No Other Man'''" is lead single released by [[United States|American]] singer [[Christina Aguilera]] from her third studio album ''[[Back to Basics (Christina Aguilera album)|Back to Basics]]'' ([[2006]]). The single won a [[Grammy Award]] for the [[Best Female Pop Vocal Performance]] category in 2007.

==Song information==

Produced by [[DJ Premier]] and Charles Roane, the song contains [[sampling (music)|samples]] from The Moon People's ''Hippy, Skippy, Moon Strut'' (1969) and ''The Cissy's Thang'' (1969) by The Soul Seven. It was released as the first [[single (music)|single]] from ''Back to Basics'' in June 2006 (see [[2006 in music]]); originally meant to be available for purchase on [[June 13]], it was released early to [[iTunes Music Store]] on [[June 3]]. It debuted on UK radio on [[June 7]], and also on Brazilian radio stations on the same day. It is thought to be Aguilera's comeback single, due to its strong chart performance after Aguilera's four-year hiatus from her previous studio album ''[[Stripped (Christina Aguilera album)|Stripped]]'' (2002). This song, contrary to popular belief, does not have a live brass section. The brass interludes are samples from a 1970's Latin funk track called "Happy Soul", performed by Dave Cortez and the Moon People. Obviously the drum track has been largely edited, and made to sound a lot bassier, but the main structure of the repeated brass riff is still intact.

DJ Premier said about the track: "It's pretty much about how Aguilera's husband has stolen her from the beginning", and it began receiving airplay on American radio stations within the same day. [[SonyBMG|Sony-BMG]] issued a statement regarding the release of the song, claiming that a full investigation would be launched in order to find out how the song was leaked, as they did not intend for the song to be released until after it premiered at the [[MTV Movie Awards 2006|2006 MTV Movie Awards]] on [[June 3]]. Because of the leak, [[RCA]] Records officially released the single to all U.S. radio stations the day after it leaked.

'''Christopher Maurice Brown''' (born [[May 5]], [[1989]]), better known as '''Chris Brown''', is an [[United States|American]] singer and dancer who rose to fame in 2005 with his [[platinum]] selling, self-titled debut album. His first single was a Scott Storch-produced "[[Run It!]]" featuring [[Juelz Santana]]. With this single, Brown became the youngest male solo artist to release a single that climbed to #1 on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]]. As of (07/19/06) the album has sold 1,420,000 units in the U.S. and over three million worldwide.

[[Big Boi]] from [[OutKast]] was scheduled to contribute a rap verse on the remix of the single. It is rumored that his record label pressured him to remove himself from the song to prevent the "Ain't No Other Man" remix from competing with [[Outkast]]'s own single, "The Mighty O." RCA subsequently replaced [[Big Boi]] with [[Houston, Texas|Houston]] rapper, [[Chamillionaire]]. Nonetheless, Chamillionaire's additional rap verse on the song proved not to be popular amongst fans and hardly received any radio airplay.

==All About Chris==

===Early life===

Chris was born to Clinton Brown and Joyce Hawkins in the small town of [[Tappahannock]], [[Virginia]]. He is one of two [[sibling]]s. (He has an older sister.) He gained his love of music at an early age and was influenced by the sounds his parents played on the home radio such as [[Stevie Wonder]], [[Michael Jackson]], [[Sam Cooke]], [[Donny Hathaway]], [[Aretha Franklin]], and [[Anita Baker]]. Many may not know, Chris Brown was a rapper before he became a singer. By the time he was 13, Chris was discovered at a gas station where his father worked. From there, he was taken to local music producers so that he could begin a career in music.

The single was released over two weeks in the UK. CD1, featuring the Radio Edit and Instrumental is released on 24th July 2006. CD2, featuring the Album & A cappella versions, and two remixes of the track was released on [[July 31]] [[2006]]. The two weeks release of the single in the UK prevented it from going to #1 in the UK singles chart and peaked at #2 being blocked off by Shakira's "Hips Don't Lie". Had "Ain't No Other Man" had just one release it would have reached the top spot of the UK singles chart because it sales for that 1 week would have been enough to block of "Hips Don't Lie" off the top spot.

===Music career===

[[Image:Chris brown.jpg|thumb|170px|left|Chris Brown's platinum debut album]]

Brown's local music production team had connections with record labels, and he then flew to [[New York]] to audition for [[Def Jam Recordings]] Vice President Tina Davis, who currently works as his manager. He was signed to [[Jive Records]].

"Ain't No Other Man" garnered Aguilera another nomination and win at the [[49th Annual Grammy Awards]] in the category [[Best Female Pop Vocal Performance]]. This is her fourth time being nominated in this category, and second win.

Brown left school in late 2004 to begin working on his self-titled debut album, ''[[Chris Brown (album)|Chris Brown]]'', which was released on [[November 29]], [[2005]]. His debut single "[[Run It!]]", was #1 in the [[United States]], [[Japan]], and [[Australia]]. Following "Run It!", "[[Yo (Excuse Me Miss)]]" became Brown's second top 10 hit in the US, peaking at #7, and #13 in the UK. It has been certified platinum by the [[Recording Industry Association of America|RIAA]]. His third single "[[Gimme That]]" was released in March 2006 which featured [[Lil' Wayne]] for a remix, originally not featured on the ''Chris Brown'' album, but was later included. The single debuted on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 at #80 and climbed the charts quickly. Chris also co-directed his music videos for "Yo (Excuse Me Miss)" and "Gimme That". His fourth single is the ballad "[[Say Goodbye]]", which is also a part of the ''[[Step Up]]'' Soundtrack. After the wrapping of Brown's summer 2006 tour, he will begin work on his sophomore album in October, set to release early 2007. In June 13, 2006 a DVD released called ''Chris Brown's Journey'' shows Chris traveling in London and Japan, getting ready for his first visit to the Grammys, behind the scenes of his music videos, bloopers, and much more. It is certified gold with 500,000+ copies sold and is on its way to platinum status.

==Music video==

The video for his current single ''[[Say Goodbye]]'' also features a quick clip from one of the tracks in his album, "''[[Ain't No Way (You Won't Love Me)]]''", most likely to be his fifth single. He has been known for putting other tracks in his music videos, having used both ''[[Run It!]]'' and ''[[Gimme That]]'' for his ''[[Yo (Excuse Me Miss)]]'' video. It is also rumored that T.I will rap for a remix, but it is not confirmed yet.

[[Image:Ain'tNoOtherManScreen.PNG|thumb|200px|left|Aguilera in the music video for "Ain't No Other Man" (2006).]]

The [[music video]], directed by [[Bryan Barber]], was shot from [[May 1]] to [[May 3]] in [[Los Angeles, California|Los Angeles]]. In an interview with [http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1539161/08222006/aguilera_christina.jhtml MTV], Aguilera stated, "it intrigued me that this man, Bryan Barber, had been very locked into and had surrounded himself with this whole world of the '20s and '30s era," in response to Barber's film project, [[Idlewild (film)|Idlewild]]. It was released exclusively to iTunes on [[June 20]] and went to number-one the following day on the iTunes video chart. It then premiered on [[MTV]]'s ''[[Making the Video]]'' on [[June 21]].

The music video is supposed to be set back in the 1920s to 1930s Era, where Christina Aguilera plays the role of her [[alter ego]], Baby Jane (a [[Peggy Lee]]/[[Judy Garland]]-ish nightclub singer). The name is shown on the car's plate and on her dressing room door. The video takes place mostly at a club, with Christina getting ready in the backstage area, and then coming up the stage performing along with the song. In between scenes, there were short vignettes that showed Aguilera in gold and silver dresses, singing to a mic, while photographers are taking pictures. She appeared in several looks; in one of the scenes, Christina appeared using rhinestone studded headphones, showed a bit of a modern day portrayal.

===Career outside of music===

Other than his music career, Brown has begun some acting. He made a short appearance on [[UPN]]'s ''[[One on One]]'' in March 2006. He also made his way to movies. On a radio station interview in Australia, Brown said that he is going to have a role in a dancing movie entitled ''Steppin<nowiki>'</nowiki>'' (release: [[circa|c.]] January 2007) along with another R&B star, [[Ne-Yo]]. Shooting took place on [[June 11]], [[2006]]. In the same interview, he said that his role is an ambitious dancer and the younger brother of the lead character.

In the beginning and in the end of the music video there are clips from another song from ''[[Back to Basics (Christina Aguilera album)|Back to Basics]]'', entitled "I Got Trouble."

He was also selected to play in the NBA's Celebrity Game alongside such stars as [[Brandon Routh]] and [[Nelly]] in the NBA's All-Star Weekend 2006 in Houston.{{fact}}

The song played as if it were on the radio with minor white noise.

The music video has been well received by audiences. On MTV's ''[[Total Request Live]]'', it has achieved the number one video spot on the countdown twenty two times, and was retired at number one, making it Christina's most successful video and the most successful video of 2006 of TRL. "Ain't No Other Man" is third only to [[Behind These Hazel Eyes]] by [[Kelly Clarkson]] and [[Me Against the Music]] by [[Britney Spears]] as the most successful female video on TRL of all time. It has also been in the top 5 videos on [[VH1]]'s Top 20 Countdown and number one in [[TMF]]'s top ten countdown in [[Europe]]. It was nominated at the [[2006 MTV Video Music Awards]] for [[MTV Video Music Award for Video of the Year|Video of the Year]], [[MTV Video Music Award for Best Female Video|Best Female Video]], [[MTV Video Music Award for Best Pop Video|Best Pop Video]], and [[MTV Video Music Award for Best Choreography|Best Choreography]]

Although Chris Brown is not enrolled in a public school anymore, he currently is attending home school being taught by tutors.

==Chart performance==

He eventually wants to own his own record label and launch a clothing line.{{fact}}

On [[June 15]], [[2006]], "Ain't No Other Man" debuted at number nineteen on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] as a result of strong [[digital download|download]]s. The song became Aguilera's highest debut on the Hot 100, a title that was previously held by "[[I Turn to You (Christina Aguilera song)|I Turn to You]]" (2000).<ref>''[[Billboard magazine|Billboard]]''. Bronson, Fred. [http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/chart_beat/bonus.jsp "Aguilera bounds into the Hot 100 with her highest debut yet"]. [[June 15]] [[2006]]. Retrieved [[June 21]] [[2006]].</ref> The song soared into the top ten before quickly peaking at number six. However, the song has proven to have longevity as it has spent nineteen consecutive weeks within the top forty. It has sold over 1,000,000 digital downloads in the United States making it [[Music recording sales certification|Platinum]]. "Ain't No Other Man" has been proven very successful, as it is Aguilera's first top ten hit on the Hot 100 since "Beautiful" back in late [[2002 in music|2002]]. The song has proven to be a big dance hit as well, where it reached number one on Billboard's [[Hot Dance Airplay]] and [[Hot Dance Club Play]] chart.

In the [[United Kingdom|UK]] "Ain't No Other Man" reached number two due in part to RCAs ridiculous release of spreading out the single to be released in 2 different weeks. This cost the song the #1 spot of the UK singles chart where it was blocked off by hips don't lie. The song debuted on the Canadian [[Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems|BDS]] Airplay Chart the same week it did in the U.S. (at number thirty-eight) and peaked at number three on [[August 19]] [[2006]]. It also reached number three on the Canadian Dance Chart. However, despite commercial success on these formats, it did not chart highly on the [[Canadian Singles Chart]] (number fourteen) perhaps because of the release of ''Back to Basics'' (that same week). "Ain't No Other Man" became Aguilera's most commercially successful single in Canada (10.000 units sold; Platinum) since "[[Fighter (song)|Fighter]]" (2003).

===Personal life===

Brown's third single "[[Gimme That]]" is about him being attracted to a woman who is three years older than him. The song is not very different from his personal life. In an interview, he stated that he had 3 serious [[relationship]]s at his young age. At one point the woman was three or four years older than him.

Brown has three tattoos:

*On his right arm he has [[Jesus]] with music notes to symbolize his gratitude towards [[God]] for giving him the gift of song.

*On his left arm he has his C initial with a hand under it and two stars on the sides.

*His most recent tattoo is on his left arm. It's a spray can with a 2 ↑ and 2 ↓ sign for [[Virginia]]. Many say that he draws resembelence to the great centerfielder Aaron Francis in Georgia.

*He says that he wishes to do a duet with R&B singer, [[Ciara]].

"Ain't No Other Man" became Aguilera's tenth top ten hit on [[Top 40 Mainstream|Top 40 Radio]], where it peaked at number seven. The song's performance on pop radio is similar to those of many of her past hits like "Fighter", "[[Can't Hold Us Down]]", and "[[Come on over Baby (All I Want Is You)|Come on Over Baby]]". It was also her first top ten hit on Top 40 Radio in over three years, with the last one being "Can't Hold Us Down" in [[2003 in music|mid-2003]].

==Awards==

*2006 [[Soul Train]] Music Awards - Best R&B/Soul New Artist

*2006 [[NAACP]] Image Awards - Outstanding New Artist

*2006 [[TRL]] Awards - Fake ID Award

*2006 [[BET]] Awards - Best New Artist

*2006 [[BET]] Awards - Viewers' Choice

The song has gone on to have unusual longevity on the radio charts. However, "Ain't No Other Man" has only peaked at number six. This song is now considered a successful comeback single due to its slow paced decline. On the Billboard 2006 Hot 100 Year-End chart, "Ain't No Other Man" was ranked thirty-second.<ref>''[[Billboard magazine|Billboard]]''. Bronson, Fred.
