"Blurred lines" track made $16million profit.


Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams made more than $5m (£3.26m) each from Blurred Lines, according to figures revealed.

Total profits for the biggest track of 2013 are $16.68m (£10.87m), with rapper TI getting a $704,000 (£459,000) share.

The trio are being sued for copyright infringement by Marvin Gaye's family, over similarities to Got to Give It Up.

They are seeking money from sales and touring, as well as damages.

According to testimony from damages experts in court in Los Angeles, singer Thicke received $5.66m (£3.69m) from the song's profits.

Williams got a total of $5.15m (£3.36m) - $4.3m of it from publishing royalties, and a further $860,000 for producer royalties.

Thicke, Williams and rapper TI - real name Clifford Harris Jr - deny copying Gaye's 1977 hit.
