With Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines being the biggest single of the summer it's amazing how much success he has had with the single but at the start it dint look that way.
When Thicke put the song to his record label Universal Interscope Records they said that they 'just dint get it' and thought that it wouldn't become a big hit and they really dint like it at first but the song was released anyway and skyrocketed up the charts.
Talking about the hit tune Robin said:
"The record company didn’t get it. They didn’t even pay for the video. They didn’t want to support it at all. I played it for the heads of the label, head of pop radio, and everybody just went, ‘Nice. Nice.’ Got no response; was kind of surprised by that. A few months later went back in, played it again like, ‘I think we have enough records here. I think we’ve got four or five really strong singles’ — or at least four or five options for singles."
But then it all changed as when the music label saw the music video with all the naked girls they said yes as Robin carried on in saying:
“And as soon as the record company saw the video, they said, ‘This is a smash.’”
The song has been on the number #1 spot for the last 9 weeks in the US so we bet the record label are really happy.
