Robin Thicke sells just 530 copies of new album Paula
Last week saw the release of Robin Thicke’s new album Paula, a painful publicity stunt-come-attempt to win an ex-wife back. Luckily for all however, the entire thing fared very badly indeed.
Having already had his #ASKTHICKE promotional hashtag hijacked, the “Blurred Lines” singer saw his new LP enter the UK Albums Chart at #200, shifting only 230 physical copies. Meanwhile, over in the US, the album did little better - only managing to sell 25,981 in its first week, a 86% drop from its predecessor.
While the internet celebrates, check out the best bits from the anti-Thicke backlash below:

How many naked women did it take before you stopped seeing them as people & instead saw them as YouTube hits? #AskThicke
