Robin Thicke only wrote his new album for one person to listen to, his estranged wife Paula Patton. So, you could say that it managing to shift 530 copies in the UK last week is something of a success. I mean, he didn’t intend for even one person in this country to listen to it. Not one.

Alternatively, you could perhaps call people who aren’t Patton actually buying ‘Paula’ a failure. In which case, things have gone really badly in the US, where over 25,000 people forked out money for the record on its first week on sale. Especially if Patton isn’t one of those people. Maybe Robin posted her a free copy. Though it would seem a bit lacking in foresight to give your planned lone listener a freebie. She should definitely have to pay.

Still, it’s hardly surprising he convinced a few people to head out and pick the new record up, given all the fantastic promotion he did for it.
