The Official Robin Thicke Thread

[Rock & Roll Hall of Game]

I think with this project he continuously proves he's starved for hit's or to be #1, it proves he gives his all and lays it all on the line, and takes chances. Like a real artist. Plus he already owns Soundscan, aint no other man coming for that right now

 

not sure how this is "taking chances" but okay

 

He's just renting

By doing this album with next to no promo, starting off a era with a ballad on top of that (coming off a mostly dance songs era). That's taking the chance that this won't do well do what the last album did

 

Yea just like Mario was for 8 years, but then again Let Me Love You didn't do half of what  BL did, so yea we'll see how long he is.  Plus even if his 12 weeks and the Nielsen BDS is debunked, he still gets the honor of being the First male act to get that many weeks and sale that much.

Next to no promo? That's not "taking chances" as it is "fucking stupid as hell"... He started off "The Evo of RD", Something Else, & Sex Therapy with a non-dance song... Not taking chances as it is a repeat offender

 

The first male? Usher, Eminem, Boys II Men, Elton John, Los del Rio all have 12 or more weeks at #1

  HORRIBLE comparison, have a seat. Heres why you're wrong, The EVo of RT started off with a dance song "Wanna Love You Girl", next era, dance song Magic Touch, next era slow song, next era mid tempo, next era Blurred lines, this era slow song. And the more important thing that makes this a risk at all is that Blurred Lines was his most pop/dance album of his entire discography, and he's following it up with an album that wont be following that at all. If he was playing it safe, this era would be another continuation of more pop & more dance.

 

My bad not the 12 weeks #1 I more so meant owning Nielson record he broke, where he remains atop

[jarrylf]

Oh yea this happened too

 

Robin Thicke's 'Blurred Lines' is UK's most downloaded track of all time

Robin Thicke's 'Blurred Lines' has been unveiled as the UK's most-downloaded track of all time.

The Pharrell Williams-produced song claimed the top spot in the All-time Official Download Chart Top 100, as compiled by the Official Charts Company, which was counted down on BBC Radio 1 today (April 21).

The track has sold 1.54 million copies since it was released in May 2013, making it one of only two songs to ever surpass the 1.5 million mark.

Thicke said of the achievement: "I'm so honoured, the success of 'Blurred Lines' is a dream come true."

Official Charts Company chief executive Martin Talbot added: "'Blurred Lines' is surely one of the catchiest pop hits of all time, so its success is no great surprise. 

"But to become one of only two tracks to have been downloaded 1.5m times and climb to the top of the poll as the biggest download of all time is an incredible achievement."

Having sold 1.53 million copies, Adele's 2011 hit 'Someone Like You' follows closely in second place, while Maroon 5 and Christina Aguilera's 'Moves Like Jagger' takes number three.

Gotye's 'Somebody That I Used To Know' lands at number four, and 2009 party tune 'I Gotta Feeling' by Black Eyed Peas rounds off the top five.

Daft Punk, Rihanna and Kings Of Leon also feature in the top ten of the chart, which was counted down by Fearne Cotton, Scott Mills and Jameela Jamil this afternoon to celebrate ten years since the launch of legitimate downloading in 2004.

Now That's What I Call Music have also celebrated the landmark by releasing Now That's What I Call 21st Century today, which includes 62 of the official biggest selling downloads of the past 10 years.

MTV will broadcast a special weekend of programming celebrating a 'Decade of Download' from May 3 to May 5.

Since 2004, 1.17 billion single track downloads and 153 million album downloads have been bought in the UK, with 27 tracks surpassing 1 million downloads each.

See the full top ten from the All-time Official Download Chart below:

1) 'Blurred Lines' - Robin Thicke/T.I./Pharrell Williams
2) 'Someone Like You' - Adele
3) 'Moves Like Jagger' - Maroon 5 ft Christina Aguilera
4) 'Somebody That I Used To Know' - Gotye ft Kimbra
5) 'I Gotta Feeling' - Black Eyed Peas
6) 'Get Lucky' - Daft Punk ft Pharrell Williams
7) 'We Found Love' - Rihanna ft Calvin Harris

Those aren't dance songs as they are Pharrell songs with his slow vocals None of em except BL made it to the Dance charts.. which one is it.. Dance or R&B?

 

The UK? I'm not here for the country that lost the war

I wanna Love You & Magic Touch aren't dance songs? Since when? And since when is a song 1 or the other as if R&B/Dance songs don't exist  Also Pharell wasn't involved with the song Magic at all      

 

Oh yea & Magic was #2 on the dance charts......yea....you should stop

[janetDAYZ]

Taking a risk??????????

Ppl are using that phrase too loosely.

What Beyonce did was "taking a risk" .. Robin ain't worried about promo becuz...

1) ..this is a cry for attention of his ex lady who dropped his ass (as if an album is gonna have her running back into his arms in slow motion -this is not a movie Mr.Thicke)

and...

2) he knows promoting ain't gonna help shit cuz he ain't gone sell shit NOWAY! let's call a thing A Thing ppl. Robin ain't stupid.. he knows his albums don't sell without a hit like Blurred Lines (and even his last album didn't scan platinum). And he knows that promoting will only boost his sales by what, 100 more copies sold? Psh.

You have to have a fanbase to "take a risk" . What he had was a Fluke.. it just is what it is. ONE major single of his 16..17 year career ,he's a nobody in the grand scheme of things. He's not major..never was..and won't be. One huge single ain't enough cuz as you see the new blurred lines is "Happy" a year later. Robin is gonna only be remembered for that ONE song..not a career. No Legacy. Juss another singer. STOP tryna pump him up..cuz the public ain't buying it. Literally

[jarrylf]

Here's why you're wrong. 1st Bey took a bigger risk, it's still a risk what Robin's doing. And Im over his haters saying he doesn't sell...um of his 6 albums only 3 havent opened at 100K if nobody cared like people so claim he'd more than likely his sales would be Chante Moore & Jon B numbers. I mean yall go on & on about how he can't sell anything where his discography tells something different. To not have a fanbase you can't be ranking in numbers over 100K as much as he has. Thus he does have a fanbase.  

 

LOFL @ "You have to have a fanbase to take risks"...........that makes absolutely no sense what so ever LOFL, You have to be an artist to take risks....and as a singer, writer & producer he qualifies. He's coming off his most successful era, more often than not people who do that tend to aim for the next era to grab attention too. This era he's doing NO interviews, very few appearances & performances

 

And please, he's in the news every other week now everybody's talking about this album, he's not  D-list but he's definitley mainstream right now, if he wasn't nobody would be still reporting about him. And that's why he's taking a chance, I knew since last year he was gonna do an album this year, but if he wanted too, he could rack up the interviews all over, and call up Pharell for another dance track, and do another innovative video. That song is his legacy and it'll always be brought up, it'll always get airplay and it'll always be his signature song. For him to have "no" legacy he has to have no hit's period and no successful albums period, like most R&B acts today.

 

Oh and lastly for Happy to be the new BL, it'd have to also outsell it and knock it off all the records it broke.,  It hasn't. It's popular tho and it's Pharell produced....they have that in common.

Not promoting isn't a risk.. It's a horrible idea... Ask Mariah..

He doesn't sell first weeks aren't indicators.. Overall is.. With a #1 single for 12 weeks his album still only did 700k? Take a look at that top ten list you posted... All those artists' albums went at least platinum in the US Ciara has 3 albums with more than did 100k first week. But with no fan base, no1currs

He's coming off his most successful single.. Not era plus he lost all respect from the GP when he decided to perform with someone half his age and wear a Beetlejuice outfit not promoting a project isn't a risk as it is bad business.

Innovative video? What's innovative about a date-rapey video with breasts? Especially since it's been done before?

There was only 1 other dance title I mentioned, and it didn't do well, it's the reason that era didn't get going until it's 2nd single Lost without you.

Going with a "bad idea" when you're putting everything on the line is still a risk. It sure as hell isn't playing it safe.

 

Ofcourse they arent indicators, but with limited to no promo for the bulk of his discography, that's not exactly sales figures someone who allegedly "has no fanbase" should not be use to seeing. And Ciara actually was mainstream & A list and had a fanbase at 1 time, that dropped off on album 3, so not comparable at all. Again comparable artists who don't have fanbases are most of the castmembers of R&B Divas.

 

And wrong, for Ciara's 5 albums, only the 1st 2 debut'd with more than 100K. 

 

Innovative enough to continuously get copied & praised.

It's not being risky like it's on purpose or something

*Robin Thicke in a meeting with executives: "okay guys.. So I decided not to promote this album.. Well just at the EBT Awards.. Oh and BMA but no one remembers my appearance anyways so that doesn't count". Stoppit JIF.. You're just saying that so I won't come into this thread to make fun of his follow up album..

Ciara was never an A-List.. She was a B+ Player at best.. And where her tour? I didn't see it.. Did you? No tour = no fans.. Ask Mariah.. But you right.. Can't compare Robin with Ciara.. Two different genders.. How's Justin doing? Oh that's right.. He's doing it big

There's no innovation... There are hundreds of videos with dancing naked ladies.. If you're referring to JT copying him.. No1currs.. JT could hypothetically rip a woman's top off in front of 85M(?) people and walk away triple platinum hypothetically of course

Sure it is, only because its your opinion it's a bad idea, If it's his intention obviously he doesnt think it's a bad idea, and it is only a bad idea if you actually care about numbers, which he's proved he doesn't, maybe that's a whole point in this. And please you'll be in here talking about him negatively no matter what he did, and would need to be escorted out as always.

 

Yea......except Ciara was A-list and she did do 1 tour.....sorry but that comparison is like Ciara's career now, wrong and makes no sense and means nothing. And I didn't ask but OK, it's what I expect as long as he's got Tims dick in his mouth sucking out the talent.

 

I'm reffering to everyone who copied him, that video still gets and will continue to get copied for years. Peaople are still talking about it and still playing it. And you don't care about Justin copying Robin but everyone else did and was reporting on it, so much for "no1"

Can you please back up your claims with links or quotes from Robin.. Just so I know you're not pulling this "he doesn't care" speak know this album is dedicated to his wife and all but he has record executives to please.. And you're kinda speaking for him but idk

Tour? When?!

I give up.
