Robin Thicke Destined To Be A One Hit Wonder? His Album 'Paula' Sells Just 530 Copies!

  • 09 July 2014

Robin Thicke can no longer cruise along in the slipstream of his previously highly successful single 'Blurred Lines'. The 37-year-old's latest album, entitled Paula after his estranged wife, has completely flopped during its first week selling only 530 albums in the UK. Paula came in at No. 200 in the UK chart and it's difficult not to revel in Thicke's failure, as the Guardian reports.

Public opinion is certainly against him especially after the meaning of the lyrics of 'Blurred Lines' was widely discussed. His press tour attempting - but evidently failing miserably - to promote Paula has been punctuated by accusations of misogyny levelled at Thicke. In a recent Twitter Q&A hosted by VH1, many tweeted about the lyrics to 'Blurred Lines' and about his disastrous personal life and choices. As the Independent reports, the hashtag #AskThicke attracted such questions as "When you're not busy objectifying women, making light of rape and justifying sexual violence, how do you like to relax?"
