But everybody knew he was seen as a one hit wonder and a cad.
By putting out his “Paula” album he misjudged his audience. First and foremost, there wasn’t much of one. You can have a monster hit and have no fans, ever heard of Carly Rae Jepsen?
The blowback killed Thicke’s album. It may be his truth, but no one else can relate, you mean you’re rich and famous and hang with naked models, squeezing boobies, and now you’re complaining your wife left you, what’s up with that?
Never lose touch with your audience. It’s cool to lead, but if you don’t have people’s hearts and minds to begin with, it could be a very cold journey.
As previously reported, Thicke sold just 530 copies of his new album 'Paula' in its first week of release in the UK. However, these figures look comparatively huge when placed next to reports from Australia that the album failed to even reach three digits in sales figures.
'Paula' failed to make the ARIA Top 500 in Australia, reports News.com.au, and while there are no official sales figures for the album, the Blondie compilation at Number 500 in the chart sold 54 copies to achieve its position. This means Thicke's album must have sold less than that figure to fall short of the chart placing.
