Robin Thicke Sold 530 Copies of “PAULA” In the UK First Week

Career freefall.

We knew people weren’t rocking with Robin Thicke‘s marketing campaign for Paula, but the United Kingdom was adamant about not supporting him in his first week. So much that only 530 people bought the album. Five hundred and thirty.

The U.S. was a little more sympathetic, barely helping him inch through the Top 10 with 24,000 copies sold in the first week. That’s significantly lower than his last go-around, the chart topping Blurred Lines, which snagged 177,000 and the first #1 album of his career. Luckily for Robin, this isn’t his worst outing on the charts, because The Evolution of Robin Thicke debuted a tiny bit worse (20K).

Overall record sales are down as it is, but the forecast doesn’t look good for Mr. Patton right now. It’s obvious the plan (whether genuine or manufactured) isn’t working, so he might be better of going into hiding until the smoke clear and he picks up the pieces of his broken heart. Not to mention this failure of a rollout. Forget the touring, the public outcry and borderline methods of thirst and get your mind right.

The Internet and the world will forget you even put an album out in a month if you remain quiet and stop with the “I fucked up” campaign.

But damn, UK. Cold game out there.
