Give It 2 U is **** and the comments on the video clearly indicate that people are only there for Kingdrick Lamar. It's already approaching the 200's on iTunes and his album is FREEFALLING in the UK and US (the only two places that he kind of happened).
Robin Thicke lands his first #1 album on The Billboard 200 with Blurred Lines. The album sold 177K copies in its first week. Even so, Thicke may be just a tad disappointed. 177K is a somewhat earthbound total considering that the title track (which features T.I. + Pharrell) has sold 4,268,000 copies—and is still going strong. The sexy song this week becomes the first song in digital history to top 400K in weekly sales four times. Also, this week it surpasses Imagine Dragons’ “Radioactive” to become the #2 best-seller so far in 2013. (It trails only “Thrift Shop” by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis featuring Wanz).
That seems pretty good actually, considering his latest did 41k in the first week. Newfound success rarely translates into very high 1st-week sales (Maroon 5 says hi). ''Blurred Lines'' doesn't seem to have reached its peak so I expect the album to have healthy sales in the long run, especially if he manages to have a moderately succesful 2nd single.
Is this still flopping? Whichever person told him that killing off 20/20 so quickly was a good idea should be shot. There's hardly any demand for a brand new JT song at the moment! They should have tried to make ''Tunnel Vision'' happen first.

Quote:
Look, Taylor Swift's choice of dating partners is controversial. When Miley Cyrus cut all her hair off? That was pretty damn controversial. When a white American pop star fetishizes the women of another culture in order to sell records, that's not controversial. It's unequivocally insensitive, if not worse.
