Justin Timberlake’s “The 20/20 Experience” Sells Nearly One-Million Copies

    With earlier predictions claiming that Justin Timberlake’s third studio album The 20/20 Experience would sell close to 800,000 copies in its first week, it seems the album has officially gone above and beyond those initial predictions.

    HitsDailyDouble.com reports that The 20/20 Experience sold an impressive 980,622 copies in its first week.

    The hefty album sales will of course give Timberlake’s album prime location on numerous sales charts this week.

    Released on March 19th, The 20/20 Experience serves as the Tennessee crooner’s first solo album in over six years. The album is fully produced by Timbaland and features a lone feature from Jay-Z who Timberlake will be touring with this summer as part of the “Legends Of The Summer” tour.

    1. Damn, he would’ve gotten that extra 20,000 copies sold if he put a Ja Rule feature on there. Damn shame. Murdaaaa!!!

    2. I see people on here commenting that Justin Timberlake is not Hip-Hop, Are you crazy? Timberlake is more R&B than anything.

      In fact I’m very proud of him for not making them techno bullship pop records like Usher.

      1. You’re stupid honey. You’re acting like JT is a rapper when he’s clearly an R&B/pop singer. What R&B/pop singer talks about violence, being gangsta and degrading women? I’ll wait. And while I’m waiting, have you looked at the classified ads for a job yet?

      2. Who said anything about JT being a rapper?…Exactly my point, that maybe if you talk about something besides violence, being gangsta, and degrading women then maybe you’ll sell million copies…you need to hop off my dick and work on your comprehension skills

      3. You’re sad that you had to try to get my attention on this post about a different post about Kendrick Lamar

      4. And you’re sadder for screaming out your bigotry online. We see you, you’re all over the site like you’re ready to shoot up a school DAD.

    3. It helps being on jimmy fallon for a week straight! Hosting SNL starring in movies etc.. rappers don’t get most of those choices to select from that bogus!

      1. so basically you’re both saying helps that you actually put in work and have some talent… Look the album was good. 4 stars.

        Listen – on thing I’ll say about the album is there was no fucking techno bullshit I hear on these other so called “rnb” artists…

        ALSO – did everybody miss how this album is a TimberLAND solid piece of production… Everybody sleeps on Timmy

    4. Nigga pop music sells fuck that genre though! Hip Hop let’s unite fuck beef and bullshit ! Hip Hop will be back to normal. THE RETURN TO THE GOLDEN ERA STARTS NOW!

    5. Will you stop playing in the race card. JT won because of hype and the great music that followed in. It’s not music you may like immediately but as you keep listening to it, it sounds fantastic. Hope he stays no. 1 next week. I don’t care that Wayne arrived.

    6. new age hip hop is dead, that’s why r&b still be selling alot of records. old school rap niggaz should be killing these young niggaz fuckin up the game now dayz. i don’t buy todays music as it is corny as my shit, i still buy music from early/late 90’s as it can still bump today. BRING BACK WESTSIDE CONNECTION!!!!!

      1. peep game…At the Grammy’s they called R&B: Urban Contemporary Music…they bout put rap in this category as well..

    7. Weezy gon do similar numbers next week when IANHB2 comes out. Broke haters will cry like bitches as Weezy keeps collecting money and makin his millions.

      1. people still buy bootlegs? i used to do that shit in 2002 but times have changed bud. everyone got an internet connection and a cd writer now

    8. and thats why jay-z cant wait to go on tour with him.

      jay-z is such a dickrider. no doubt he makes his own wave but he much prefers riding someone elses. he never really was THE man until big and pac died and he and nas were standing side by side by default.

      justin timberlake is a queer and he makes queer music. white soulless michael jackson rip offs over techno timbaland beats. america lost. they love sexually molested boy band pussies who wanna be black.

      1. ^Co Sign.

        Jay is master at this rap shit – he always aligns himself in business and popular culture – catch up dummies!

    9. There’s over 100 million more of you than us in America, of course certain things are going to sell more. This information also tells us how your hatred hasn’t changed very much. #sdontlie

      1. JT is the first so come this close to cracking a million in the first week in a damn long time. Even in America sales like this are rare.

      2. I’m not talking about sales boy, and don’t think I don’t know that you’re one of them. I said SELL.

    10. I just crunched the numbers hitsdailydouble reported and JT outsold the rest of the top 50 combined. That is fucking retarded

    11. Wait, isn’t this the guy from the friends with benefits movie? So he’s rapping now? Wow, I guess Hollywood can turn any actor into a musician. Looks fishy to me. Since when do debut albums sell that much? I mean good for him, but I’m not gonna buy into the hype. A lot of you guys commenting are idiots who will buy anything the media feeds you. I hate when actors try to crossover in music. I’m willing to bet he’s just another average rapper. Stick to the movies buddy.

      1. A good time to exit? This will be my last comment. Anybody that posts under my name in the future, is not me.

        Eye Control, signing the fuck out.

      2. ROFLLL.. yea hes a troll but its comments like this that make me look pass the shit quality articles on dx and go straight to the comment boards

    12. white power bitch niggas ill tell it like it is we are white we buy shit we support our white folk thats why we allways winning in life. Y’all kill each other gang bang and hardly support your people. Name any black artist that will be able to do these numbers right now no1 and thats a fact Lil wayne don’t count cus most of his fans are us too anyways haha

      1. But you pussy tho, white power and you’re scared to type the n word? As it was said, there are more than 100m more whites than blacks, your numbers don’t mean anything.

    13. JUSTIN IS DOPE. BE HONEST, HIS MUSIC IS MORE CREATIVE AND URBAN THAN MOST OF THE STUFF YALL LISTEN TO ON THE RADIO. THIS MIGHT BE THE BEST R&B ALBUM OF THE YEAR, SO FAR. JT IS NO ANTHONY HAMILTON OR KEM, BUT HIS MUSIC IS PRETTY DOPE.

    14. He is selling off his name honestly. He did the big debut st the Super Bowl(or Grammies I forgot where it was) so that was good on marketing…..ima say he doing this off the name as a artist because I just haven’t been hearing his hit songs in the news and I haven’t heard it on any of my hiphop stations on pandora. And he is doing the older guy look this time around so throw the gimmick in there with no other popular artists releasing anything(RnB) = lots of sales by default

    15. lmao… da white devil’s debut album sold 980k? he is just a jew! his other jew friend bought da records. Lil Wayne sold 1 milli wit Tha Carter III and Tha Carter IV. Justin cant even rap. a bitch ass jew cant stop a strong black man! I Am Not A Human Being II will sell more den 1 milli. too black too strong. black power! long live Weezy F. YMCMB all day err day. swag

      1. Human Being II don’t sell shit, 50 cent got more vieuws on youtube than wayne first single in 2 days, ymcmb is done, finaly

    16. Why y’all hating on the kid, JT out sold all them nigga’s claiming they the hottest shit in R&B and Pop. JT came back with a bang admitt it you cock sucking ratchets.

    17. yeah, but dosn’t mean crap. lots of sales like that only means he sold lots of albums to pretty boys, soccer moms, kids and metrosexual weenies and the kind of pop rap fans who love jay-z and are soft mainstream followers. J.T. is a phukkin joke. suit and tie?? wtf is that -some conformist pretty boy garbage- never see me rock a suit and tie(noose)- only rockin hoodies and T’s.

      1. How the f do you know who this is sold too, you ain’t no marketing exec. I swear good music is good music..I bet you some thug out there is bumping this song in the whip, while you catching feelings!! Hoodies and T’s LOL…I expected that coming from ignorant people who aint ever going to change with the times. Music esp. does not just reside in the hood!!!

    18. See last week when hiphopdx put up the sales projections for him 600,000 alot of ppl hated and basically said they were full of crap, then I blog and said he would sell minimum 500,000 copies his first week easily and they called me groupie I told them they knew nothing about the music indusrty and were just haters and now all I can say is I FU*KING TOLD YOU SO!!(he doesn’t need to cheat like some of you said he would) I’m not like most bloggers I don’t let my personal feeling towards an artist cloud my judgement.

    19. and lil wayne’s album will flop forsure 100% it won’t sell a million and it won’t revival carter 4’s sales gauranteed timberlake will easily outsell lil wayne’s new record thats not even competiton

      1. WTH is JAY-Z doing??? Rapping…Besides jay is featured on it..Modern day rap and pop are almost inseparable!!! ITS Business!!!

    20. NIGGAS KEEP COMPLAINING THAT MUSIC AIN’T SELLING LIKE IT USED TO – BUT JT JUS DID A MILL. MAYBE HIPHOP ARTISTS SHOULD TRY PUTTING EFFORT INTO MAKING A PERFECT PRODUCT AND MARKETING IT WELL LIKE HE DID.

    21. Of course this sold almost a million, Ja Rule jumped on every track (secretly) that’s why you can’t even hear him

    22. ja rule took some cocks in jail in order for JT to sell this much. Ain’t nothin’ for JA, ’cause he too real and too secure in his own sexuality (which is heterosexual).

    23. Of course this sold almost a million, Ja Rule jumped on every track (secretly) that’s why you can’t even hear him..

      1. @Anonymous YOUR A FUCKING CLOWN AND YOUR NOT FUNNY AT ALL AND NEITHER ARE YOU JA RULE JOKES YOU CONSTANTLEY SPAM ALL THE PAGES LIKE THIS ONE I HOPE FATE MAKES HIM FINDOUT WHO YOU ARE SO HE CAN BACK HIS CAR OVER YOUR STUPID FACE!!!!!

    24. Willing to bet all of you white power, all Blacks are gang banger bloggers are straight pussy in real life. People of all walks who enjoy some good, smooth tunes are buying this album, not a bunch of XBox, skateboarding dirty looking anorexic white punks addicted to energy drinks who have a crush on Eminem.

      Like you’re going to listen to Suit & Tie while playing Halo 4. lol Most of you don’t have girls and too much hate in your heart to listen to love tunes, why are you taking credit for these sales?

      To show us your true nature, a racist. Thanks for the show!

    25. Ja Rule songwrote the whole album from jail that’s why shit is so successful.

    26. Shouts out go out to all the black people who bought my music, Jay Z for riding with me on this(especially since you look like a straight up camel), Beyonce for “accidently” helping me come up with “Suit & Tie” (although we all know it was my idea, so bow down, bitch! ha!) Timbaland (the back of your neck still looks like a pack of hot dogs lol), Britney Spears (I REALLY dodged a bullet with that nutjob LOL), my record label RCA, and finally to my dear wife, Jessica Biel, to whom this wouldn’t be possible. As of right now I’m in the offices of RCA, drinking champagne from my wife’s tits & celebrating another victory. Cheers to being a white pop singer!

      1. Brothers and sisters, do you go to white music websites and do this? Could you even come up with the name of a majority white music website? I checked Teen and Seventeen magazine websites and guess what? It’s DESERTED over there (thought y’all support your own). But I get it, it’s more fun to go where the n*ggas are at and talk smack. I see the ESPN comments filled with your dads and brothers saying some real racist things while they cheer for n*ggas & wear a n*ggas name on their jersey from their home team. All y’all do is show your true nature.

      2. @anon thank you for your input. when I said cheers to being a white pop singer, all I meant was that I’m proud to be a pop singer who can outsell any trap/emo/rich rapper anyday of the week (see Taylor Swift) PERIOD. I’m not inferring racism, my friend.

      3. lol knock it off, you’re busted. You didn’t expect that comment to create the visual of your covert racism. All I did is show my people how y’all get down. Your response was sheer failure, if it wasn’t racism you wouldn’t have to notate that you’re a WHITE pop singer.

      4. @anon you’re absolutely right but you still miss my pointb yet again. To further elaborate, what I mean by white, I mean us as a whole, an entirety. Not just black and white. Music doesn’t come in colors. Music is rather universal. I’m stating my skin color because that’s obviously my ethnicity/race. Other than that, I’m a proud member of the human race. Thank you.

      5. “To further elaborate, what I mean by white, I mean us as a whole, an entirety”

        “I’m stating my skin color because that’s obviously my ethnicity/race”

        ^ lol at the eloquent racism

        Just stop dude.

      6. @anon You’ve obviously been brainwashed by the Illuminati. I’ll be praying for you during my party out in Malibu. You’re more than welcome to come, that is, if you aren’t incarcerated which alot of you people are good at. And by “you people” I mean internet thugs. Well, I’m off to to sip more alize from my wife’s vagina. Peace and love.

      7. You served yourself no justice actually thinking I was talking to Justin.

        And the fake Justin bowed out with “You’ve obviously been brainwashed by the Illuminati”. Look how quick they resorted to covert racism AGAIN.

        Thanks for proving my point. You can run along now.

    27. At least this whole album was produced by Black man (GOD) Timbaland, so Black Nation can rejoice too.

    28. There is no white music or black music. We have all loved JT since N’Sync. It’s the other guys we fret over.

    29. youll kill me on this site..with the whole race shit..grow up..the album is good..top to bottom..i have the album bump it every day on some chill shit..if you havent listened to the album dont judge..good music sells

    30. That’s awesome for music in general, and it’s cool I think he only had one feature on it… aint my cup of tea, but can’t hate on it.

    31. “50 cent got more vieuws on youtube than wayne first single in 2 days”

      Unfortunately for Curtis, You Tube views don’t mean a thing to Jimmy Lovine. No album. No G Unit. He’s done, and so are you.
