【新聞】羅賓西克破告示牌節奏藍調／嘻哈單曲榜紀錄

羅賓西克（Robin Thicke）的〈Blurred Lines〉持續連霸告示牌節奏藍調／嘻哈單曲榜，累積十六周冠軍的好成績，突破瑪麗布萊姬（Mary J. Blige）〈Be Without You〉七年前設下之「十五周障礙」，成為該榜1992年採計尼爾森數據後攻占第一最久的歌曲。



近來不少作品嘗試挑戰瑪麗布萊姬的記錄，包括去年麥可莫與萊恩路易斯（Macklemore & Ryan Lewis）之〈Thrift Shop〉、蕾哈娜的〈Diamonds〉，皆僅能維持十四周的稱霸局面。羅賓西克之〈Blurred Lines〉發行二十六周以來，光數位下載就有580萬的銷量，目前也仍主宰節奏藍調／嘻哈點播榜，證明這首榮登告示牌「Top Song of the Summer」的勁曲，戰力已延燒至今秋。

節奏藍調／嘻哈單曲榜可追溯至1942年，當時名稱尚是「哈林勁歌大閱兵」（Harlem Hit Parade），啟用到今日只有四首歌坐擁十六周以上的冠軍周數，分別為：Joe Liggins & His Honeydrippers之〈The Honeydripper (Parts 1 and 2)〉（十八周）、 Louis Jordan & His Tympany Five的〈Choo Choo Ch'Boogie〉（十八周）及〈Ain't Nobody Here but Us Chickens〉（十七周）、Lionel Hampton & His Orchestra之〈Hey! Ba-Ba-Re-Bop〉（十六周）。

而以尼爾森銷售數字為排名依據後，共十二首歌達成攻頂十二周的成就：
