Music News: The Charts (8/12/13)

Robin Thicke continues his dominance on the Hot 100 and R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay with Blurred Lines.  It broke the radio airplay record of Mariah Carey's smash, We Belong Together this week.  Robin Thicke's Blurred Lines (album) debuted at # 1 on Billboard 200.  This is his 1st # 1 album. This will go down as Robin Thicke's "big breakthrough" on the pop charts, who has had a decent R&B following for years.  Also, Jay-Z and JT move their second song into the top 5 this year.
