Robin Thicke gets first UK singles hit
LONDON (Reuters) — American R&B singer Robin Thicke has scored his first number one in the British singles charts with Blurred Lines, which became the fastest-selling single of 2013, the Official Charts Company said on yesterday.
The song, which features hip hop artistes T.I. and Pharrell Williams, sold 190,000 copies during its first week on sale, knocking British rapper Naughty Boy’s dance track La La La, featuring London singer Sam Smith, into number two.
“It is an honour and a pleasure to be number one in the UK. It’s something I’ve always dreamed of,” Thicke told the Official Charts Company.
