NEW YORK (Billboard) - Chris Brown's third album "Graffiti" has been pushed up a week to December 8, his Jive Records label said.

No explanation was immediately available.

His former girlfriend, Rihanna, will beat him to the stores by two weeks with her new album, "Rated R." Both are hitting the publicity circuit, discussing the February altercation that left her with bloody bruises and him with a felony assault conviction.

Brown's single, "I Can Transform Ya," featuring Lil Wayne and producer Swizz Beatz, is currently at No. 16 in its fifth week on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop songs chart.

Brown, 20, begins a "Fan Appreciation" tour on November 14 in Houston. The 19-city trek wraps on December 13 in Philadelphia.

In a mid-October interview on New York's Hot 97 radio station, Brown asserted his record was "not a confessions album, but my life in a nutshell." "Graffiti" marks the follow-up to "Exclusive," which debuted at No. 4 on the U.S. pop album chart in November 2007.

    Keep moving forward Chris, do you and leave those who want to bring you down behind. Take what you have been through and focus on the positive. There is only one TRUE JUDGE...... Do You and PLEASE LEAVE those Rhianna wannabes at the curb. I will continue to listen to your music and for those who choose not to oh well... Life goes on
