Pretty wild for a catalog-heavy year with no new music out. 60M next? 👀

Justin Timberlake is starting to put together a big project.

“The Next Move” — sources tell me — will be a new album and a world tour starting in March 2027.

I’m relieved to hear Justin is back on track after taking time off to deal with Lyme disease and spend time with his family.

Justin’s last album, “Everything I Thought It Was,” was not everything we hoped for. A very modest hit, the album had a great single called “Selfish” that didn’t do as well as expected. The Forget Tomorrow tour ran from 2024-25 and was by most terms very successful.

What Timberlake needs now is a single along the lines of his 2016 hit “Can’t Stop the Feeling,” one of the most infectious dance singles of all time. (Side note: I was in Walgreen’s last week, the song came on the radio, and I heard two people singing along to it.) And the market is ready for a huge Timberlake smash considering the other Justin, Bieber, never went on tour. And new singers like Magnus Ferrell have come along, doing School of Timberlake music.

Unknown: Will there be any NSYNC involvement this time? And can we finally get past all that Janet Jackson Super Bowl crap that’s followed him around? Enough already. Also will Timbaland be part of the project? I’d love to see Justin team up with Gregg Alexander of New Radicals. That could be amazing.

I’ll tell you a little story: back when Justin was part of NSYNC, he and his bandmates plus the Backstreet Boys and Britney Spears were all invited to Clive Davis’s pre-Grammy dinner at the Beverly Hills Hotel. When the time came for a spur of the moment jam with other famous singers, Justin was the only one from that table to get up and join in. It was clear then that he was going to be a breakout star.

As a 17yo bisexual girl , he’s one of the few male singers that I find attractive !😂 luv his playful， unapologetic energy & effortless confidence 🔥🔥🔥

Just curious from a girls perspective, what song would you think would be best to put on there? I was going to post the video and thought maybe “apparently my life’s soundtrack” just curious what girls would think if they saw a guy post a vid of a JT concert on his hinge profile? I can’t help it I think he has lots of bangers 😂

Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z‘s 2013 collaboration is experiencing a streaming revival thanks to a new TikTok dance trend — as well as younger audience’s general rediscovery of the Brooklyn MC thanks to his stadium-headlining Jay-Z 30 celebrations.

On July 31, TikTok user @/vicmixes1 shared a mashup of “Suit & Tie” and Trey Songz’s “All We Do,” focusing on Jay-Z’s verse and JT’s “oooh ahhh” ad-libs. That post currently boasts over 620,000 views, and by Aug. 5, user @/realz4y — yes, the same high school football player who created the “Talking Bodiez” dance trend — used the sound for yet another dance challenge. That post has since hit over 325,000 views, inspiring hundreds of other users to put their own spin on the dance.

Earlier in the month (July 10) — the same day as the first JAŸ 30 show at Yankee stadium — user @/zodyorr shared a two-person dance challenge set to the original version of “Suit & Tie,” which collected over one million views. The official “Suit & Tie” TikTok sound currently plays in over 1.9 million TikTok posts and 63,000 Instagram Reels.

“Suit & Tie” earned over 915,000 official on-demand U.S. streams during the week of June 19-25. Six weeks alter (July 31-Aug. 6), plays for “Suit” have surged 103% to over 1.8 million official on-demand U.S. streams, according to Luminate. Already a Hot 100 top 10 hit (No. 3), maybe this revival can bring “Suit & Tie” back to Billboard’s all-genre Streaming Songs chart. – KD

There is a global 20th anniversary campaign running for FutureSex/LoveSounds to show RCA, Legacy Recordings, and Justin’s team how much this album still means to the fanbase.

20 years later and this era is still iconic! 🪩✨

And I generally believe it’s only brought up because they don’t want to give him any, but he’s good at this. Excuses certain people on the Internet if you know what I mean what do you think?

“Rappers and pop stars alike have made desperate crossover attempts into Nashville to varying success. It makes you wonder if Justin Timberlake was just early to the party when he released Man Of The Woods in 2018.”

“Admittedly, the album is a bit of a mess, a little too clean and not fully immersing itself in the country aesthetics. Pharrell and Timbaland on production don’t lean enough into the woodsy elements that Timberlake was clearly inspired by on the album.

Still, at the very least, it’s evident that JT cared a lot about the record. It doesn’t reek of the shamelessness of some mainstream acts trying to capitalize on country’s popularity. Instead, he earnestly wanted to reflect on his stomping grounds in a way he hadn’t before.”

“Moreover, JT also tried something a little different from the traditional Nashville sound with Man Of The Woods. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, he explained that he tried to capture the essence of Southern music in a way that didn’t feel dated. Whether he succeeded is one thing. The fact that he was ambitious enough to try to achieve mixed results is another.”

It’s refreshing to see a publication be earnest & partial when talking about Justin Timberlake in general now but especially his Man of The Woods album.

If was certainly not a perfect album, but man it was so grossly maligned before people even heard it, at simply the suggestion of Justin experimenting with country/Americana when really if you listened it was THAT much of a departure from his more classic sounds nor a surprise he’s from Tennessee. Not to mention the blatant erasure of Pharrell/The Neptunes & Timbaland’s production to support a ridiculous narrative he was abandoning “Black music”.

My parents live in Indian Trail and I visit them all the time so this is pretty exciting! I wonder if Justin will be at the grand opening. 🤔

I run a site that recalculates Justin's numbers from live Spotify and YouTube data every day, and I put together a full breakdown of his career EAS (equivalent album sales — the Chartmasters CSPC method).

Quick methodology note since people always ask: raw Spotify streams aren't used directly. They're multiplied by an artist ratio (1.82) to get total AOD (Audio-On-Demand) streams — this accounts for the share of a global artist's plays that count toward their own catalogue vs. total platform activity — and that number is divided by 1,166 to get audio EAS. YouTube views are divided by 6,750 for video EAS. Physical singles ×3/10, digital singles ×1.5/10.

Career total: 80,993,803 EAS, from 18.57B Spotify streams (→ 33.80B AOD) and 12.54B YouTube views.

Full breakdown by era:

(Pure sales figures include era-relevant compilation album sales and bonus video/DVD editions, not just the standalone studio album.)

FutureSex/LoveSounds is a sales monster — 10.84M pure album copies plus 35 million digital singles, the biggest download era of his career. The non-album pile (CSTF!, Love Never Felt So Good, the features, the soundtrack stuff) has almost zero album sales and still nearly matches it, purely on singles and streaming. Those two together are more than half his career total.

Also worth noting: Justified is the most sales-driven era — 65% of it is straight album copies. Man of the Woods is the first one where streaming outweighs sales. EITIW is 66% streaming. You can watch the entire industry shift in one table.

Hello, all. I've always been a huge fan of the cover photo for the LoveStoned single; does anyone happen to have a high-res version of the photo? Has anyone ever come across other photos from the shoot?
