It did, just barely. But then he disappeared BoB style.
Wow! I thought with all of that promotion, radio airplay, and the fact that the song is "real music" the song easily would have sat around at least 1.5 million!
wait how can it be determined how much an album will sell if it hasn't been released yet?
I guess it can only be done with albums that have a pre-order possibility. So the current sales of Artpop would get transferred or projected to first-week sales. At least it seems most likely, I don't know another method.

I find it so weird how BoB came out with stuff like Nothing On You, Airplanes, Magic, etc. and then this year he came out with We Still In This Bitch and HeadBand.
OH that's a greatly detailed article. I wasn't aware of this situation, bc I try to ignore anything Robin thicke related, but this part:
Quote:
To the first publication, Thicke said:
"Pharrell and I were in the studio and I told him that one of my favorite songs of all time was Marvin Gaye’s ‘Got to Give it Up.’ I was like, ‘Damn, we should make something like that, something with that groove.’ Then he started playing a little something and we literally wrote the song in about a half hour and recorded it."
But Thicke's tune supposedly changed after the lawsuit was filed. Here is a TMZ interview with the singer, quoted in the latest legal papers:
"Q: So, so, when you, when you wrote ["Blurred Lines"], do you like think of Marvin Gaye like when you write the music?

That seem to happen to a lot of rappers. Huge eras and huge flops after. See T.I (Whatever You Like, Live your Life, Dead And Gone)
No wonder the public sees him as a gross, sleazy douche bag. Remember when he acted like Miley raped him at the VMAs, like he was just innocently walking by and she did that to him? He'll always be a one-song fluke. Even after he sold out to every generic hitmaker he failed to get another hit after BL and his critically panned album barely hit Gold before disappearing.
Robbin's been copying Marvin for years now. Blurred Lines literally samples Got to Give it Up yet Marvin isn't credited.I hope he loses the lawsuit and has to pay the Gaye family.

And to think Nothin' on You is a Bruno Mars/Smeezingtons track originally composed for Lupe Fiasco, but that was later given to B.o.B.
