Robin Thicke released his first album, "A Beautiful World," in 2003, so its taken him a decade to achieve the success he's found with his sixth studio album "Blurred Lines," which topped the Billboard 200 for the first time this week.
Bouyed by the success of the album's title track, the 36-year-old R&B singer hit the top slot with 177,000 copies sold, well above the No. 2 act, Five Finger Death Punch, which sold 112,000 records.
