May 28, 201312 yr Robin Thicke has sold 80k already! From a reliable source. Seems likely considering it was no. 1 on iTunes quite early on Sunday morning. Probably sold 50k on Sunday alone (think Sundays are usually the biggest day for singles sales)
May 28, 201312 yr I'm thinking that this could sell 180k this week if this source is correct? It seems crazy to think about... And to think I thought it wouldn't go to #1 at one point! Edited May 28, 201312 yr by Griff
May 28, 201312 yr Author Robin Thicke has sold 80k already! From a reliable source. Wow :o high sales this week.
May 28, 201312 yr 80k already although a lot will have been preorders so its sales will be slower from now. Still should do 170k and be the fastest seller of the year!!
May 28, 201312 yr Didn't Naughty Boy open with 80k last week? If so, surely 'Blurred Lines' will be selling around 145k too? At least not reaching 170k.
May 28, 201312 yr Didn't Naughty Boy open with 80k last week? If so, surely 'Blurred Lines' will be selling around 145k too? At least not reaching 170k. It opened with 77k on Wednesday rather than 80k on Tuesday, so I think that Blurred Lines will be slightly huger! :o
May 28, 201312 yr Naughty Boy sold 77k by the Wednesday midweek. I think Robin will be slightly more frontloaded than Naughty Boy was but he'll still get the biggest weekly sale of the year with ease I should imagine.
May 28, 201312 yr Wow :o I can't believe how good sales at the #1 spot have been recently! And I haven't heard much hype for Blurred Lines outside of Buzzjack, so I think it could be a long lasting hit and sell loads as it grows in popularity! Maybe not a million sales but a total of 700k+ seems possible. (not the first week total, before anyone asks) Edited May 28, 201312 yr by Thermometer

Still can't imagine 170k though.
May 28, 201312 yr I think it's got to be remembered how high pre-orders were for Blurred Lines - it was in the iTunes chart for a few weeks and got to number 11 before release, so I'd think at least 30k of its sales were pre-orders (might be wrong though)... So yeah, it'll probably still do 150k this week, but I doubt it'll be as much as some people are predicting. Time will tell though. I can't believe how much number 1 sales seem to be picking up this year! :)
May 28, 201312 yr I really hope 'Blurred Lines' is heavily frontloaded and sells less than 160k by Sunday.
May 28, 201312 yr Get Lucky, Blurred Lines, La La La and Let Her Go are all so bland or just terrible. I really don't get it.
May 29, 201312 yr Get Lucky, Blurred Lines, La La La and Let Her Go are all so bland or just terrible. I really don't get it. I really like La La La, but I agree with the others. Blurred Lines I guess just isn't really my thing, I lump it with Suit & Tie as boring monster hits. Much preferred Robin Thicke's "Sex Therapy", now that should've been his worldwide megahit, so sultry.
May 29, 201312 yr You're forgetting about Little Mix. Their four singles (I won't count Cannonball) all reached top 20 and had decent longevity and sales, plus their album did much better than On Your Radar. We'll have to wait and see how 'Gentleman' and their album does but I do think LM are bigger than them. Yet so much worse than 'Chasing Lights' - the comparable first album. I think LM should be doing considerably better than they are considering they are XF winners and get a ridiculous amount of promo
May 29, 201312 yr Get Lucky, Blurred Lines, La La La and Let Her Go are all so bland or just terrible. I really don't get it. A lot of music fans like 'bland/terrible', apparently... :lol:
May 29, 201312 yr Yet so much worse than 'Chasing Lights' - the comparable first album. I think LM should be doing considerably better than they are considering they are XF winners and get a ridiculous amount of promo I wouldn't say it's that comparable. Album sales were much higher in 2008.
May 29, 201312 yr Yet so much worse than 'Chasing Lights' - the comparable first album. I think LM should be doing considerably better than they are considering they are XF winners and get a ridiculous amount of promo Why do people assume XF winners should be selling amazingly? There's loads of past evidence for the contrary.
May 29, 201312 yr Little Mix have done ok so far, platinum selling album and several hit singles. The follow up album will be a proper test for them
May 29, 201312 yr I would agree that Little Mix second album will be the tester. Their debut has managed platinum and has had a decent chart run and its not quiet finished yet.
