PrintableNot taking anything away from him, but these were not actual "singles", im more impressed with everyone else on the list mostly because there were actual "physical" singles that people went out and bought on top of buying the albums, airplay was a very small factor back then, in fact you couldnt even chart back then if you didnt have a an actual "single". JT didnt actually have a single from this album, and i dont believe Shania had singles for all the songs on the album. So its a good accomplishment, but i would have to give JT the old * next to his accomplishment.

it almost doesnt actually, mainly because there are songs that people buy more of off the internet but they dont chart because they arent considered a current single, its like what they do with the "Catalog" album chart, their are "Catalog" albums that sell 10times more than albums on the Top 200 but they are excluded from the Top 200 chart because they are too old, this is why you dont see albums like AcDC "back in black" or Pink Floyd "dark side of the moon" on the chart anymore, not because they arent selling enough. So its impressive to get 6 off an album, but not the same as it was before, and there have been close calls to this, PCD had 5 charted top 40 singles here in the USA and 7 in the UK, and Rihanna is easily gonna get 6 off her current album, shes already at 4, and the label is planning 3-4 more.

until the end of time sounds exactly like a prince song, with all that percussion
justin is the first to go that far, while ripping off someone else's music. The songs on that album are good, but I've seen it all before | |

sextonseven said: bboy87 said: What Goes Around does have a video. MTV was gettin it's coochie moist everytime they actually played it Yes, it's an eight-minute epic with Scarlett Johansson. Rumor is Justin cast Scarlett in the video against Cameron's wishes and then promptly did her after the shoot was over. That's why they broke up. Again, this is the rumor that was circulating, but it's the one I like to believe.  Who knows what really happened?What really happened is that Justin promptly went shopping with Scarlett after the shoot was over, and bought her a new pair of Manolos. Cammy was so pissed that she was no longer Justin's #1 hag, so she kicked him to the curb. | |

Great, I can already hear the fan girls talking about how he is the "King of Pop". Anyway, on the bright side, cool to see both Janet and Michael make the list THREE times!!Why doesn't Justin deserve to be on the list? If his songs have attained that amount of success and popularity with the listening public...it should be fairly recognized. Justin's album has been largely popular this year....HE is very popular...it is what it is. love is a fate resigned memories mar my mind love it is a fate resigned Over futile odds and laughed at by the Gods and now the final frame Love is a losing game |

I'm no fan, but he obviously crafted music (with notable help, just like the Jacksons) that appeals to lots of people. And not just one song but lots of songs on the album. It's not to say it's the greatest music ever, but nice inoffensive pop. But it's amazing how out of it I am. I've only ever heard Sexyback & his Coldplay song. I should also mention that outside of the Innocent Man & Thriller cassettes I had in the 80's, I don't own any of those albums! [Edited 10/11/07 12:24pm] My Legacy

I think Justin Timberlake is in the same boat as Janet Jackson. Reliant on others for his sound. Until he writes and produces several songs on his album all on his own, I will continue to see him in this light. But his popularity, like Janet Jackson's during the late '80s in particular, cannot be denied. However, unlike Thriller or Born In The USA, I do not think his album has had NEARLY the same impact on popular culture. Hence, you and others in this thread not being aware of some of his singles. | |

If I ever had a chance to do Scarlett, I would take it. Consequences be damned. | |

justin is the first to go that far, while ripping off someone else's music. The songs on that album are good, but I've seen it all before Justin is really riding hard on Prince's dick right now. First it was tracks Michael had turned down for a 'Off the Wall' vibe for his "Justified" album, now its "FutureSexy/LoveSounds", which is such a blatant rip off of LoveSexy. Have they no shame? Whats next? Is he going to be Bob Dylan now? Are people going to start calling him versatile and reinventing himself? Yeah right, 'reinventing yourself' by picking a new artist to emulate 
Samething for Janet. She turned down most of the tracks from The Neptunes that ended up on Britney Spears' "Britney". I love how they got all the watered down wannabe songs, lol.

But at least he writes and produces several of the songs on his albums all on his own. Until Justin Timberlake does that, I will think of him as a bland and mediocre popular musician and entertainer who has sung some great songs. | |
