Charlie Brown Jr. (also simply known as Charlie Brown and sometimes abbreviated as CBJr.) was a two-time Latin Grammy Award-winning Brazilian alternative rock band from Santos, São Paulo. Known for their lyrics laden with social criticism and skate punk/hip hop jargon appealing to disenfranchised youth, they were one of the most famous Brazilian acts of the late 1990s/early to mid-2000s; their success, though, was frequently overshadowed by controversies and clashes regarding vocalist (and only founding member to remain consistently in all of the group's line-ups) Chorão and his bandmates, his feuds with other musicians (more famously with Marcelo Camelo of Los Hermanos), and his struggle with drug abuse. According to a survey made by streaming platform Deezer in 2015, Charlie Brown Jr. was the second most-listened Brazilian band outside Brazil, losing only to Sepultura.
