Get the champagne ready! Robin Thicke’s infectious, fun-filled single “Blurred Lines” has shot up the Billboard charts from 6-1, to become Thicke’s first Hot 100 No. 1 single.
The funky, Pharrell-produced song leaps to the Hot 100’s top spot as the chart’s top Digital, Airplay and Streaming Gainer. It has surpassed 1 million downloads sold, marking Thicke’s first song to reach the milestone.
The 6-1 Hot 100 lift for “Lines” is the greatest positional increases to the apex from within the top 10 since Usher’s “OMG,” featuring will.i.am, made the same ascent more than three years ago.
The record has also hit the top of the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, becoming Thicke’s third No. 1, following “Lost Without You” (11 weeks, 2007) and “Sex Therapy” (two, 2010).
“Blurred Lines” is the first single and title track off Thicke’s upcoming sixth album, due July 30.
Congrats to Robin!
