Robin Thicke’s Blurred Lines, featuring TI and Pharrell Williams, has got off to a flying start in the race to be this week’s Official Number 1 single.
A staggering 101,000 copies of the US R&B star’s new single have already been purchased in the UK, based on sales up to midnight last night (Tuesday, May 28). Continuing the trend of what has been an incredible few weeks of chart-topping sales in the UK from the likes of Daft Punk and Naughty Boy, Blurred Lines is now currently outselling reigning chart topper Naughty Boy’s La La La FT Sam Smith (Number 2) by more than two copies to one.
Should he maintain his lead going into the weekend, Blurred Lines will not only be Thicke’s first Official Singles Chart Number 1, it could also become the fastest selling single of 2013 so far.
