Chris Brown has already recorded new material for his follow-up to "Exclusive" according to The Associated Press. The recent 3x American Music Awards winner said the music project entitled "Graffiti" may included a duet with Madonna and Coldplay. (If Chris' dream goes through, then that's something to look towards to in 2009!)

The 19-year-old crooner says the Material Girl would be his dream duet for a track on his upcoming CD "Graffiti," which is due out next year. He says he'd also love to work with Coldplay. He's collaborated with Jordin Sparks, David Banner and girlfriend Rihanna in the past.

Brown predicts that "Graffiti" will be a bigger project for him. Speaking from the red carpet at the American Music Awards, the platinum-selling R&B star said: "It's going to be my stepping stone from Chris Brown to superstar." [source: AP]
