Yeah, it's really grown on me! It's a shame that it's really the only "classic pop song" on the album. Not that everything is bad, but they just don't have super strong melodies.

"20/20 Experience" Will Have Decade's Fifth-Biggest Bow

It just keeps getting bigger.

As of now, it appears that Justin Timberlake will score the fifth-biggest debut of this decade, behind only two Taylor Swift albums (1.2m, 1.05m) and one each from Lady Gaga and Lil Wayne (1.1m, 964k).

The killer bow of The 20/20 Experience will also give Sony Music four of the Top 10 biggest debuts since 2010, with Universal Music having the remaining six. Here's how it looks headed into the weekend:

*Justin Timberlake (RCA) 800-850k
Bruno Mars (Atlantic) 37-42k
Luke Bryan (Capitol Nashville) 35-40k
*Kacey Musgraves (Mercury Nashville) 35-40k
Bon Jovi (Island/IDJ) 32-37k
P!nk (RCA) 29-33k
*Les Miserables (Republic) 25-28k
Rihanna (Def Jam/IDJ) 24-27k
Mumford & Sons (Glassnote) 24-27k
Imagine Dragons (Interscope) 24-27k
David Bowie (Columbia) 21-24k
Now 45 (Capitol) 21-24k
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis (Macklemore) 19-22k
Fun. (Atlantic) 19-22k
Florida Georgia Line (Big Machine/Republic Nashville) 18-21k

* Debuts

It also bears mentioning that in addition to the #1 album at iTunes, Timberlake also has the #1 ("Suit & Tie"), #5 ("Mirrors") and #23 ("Pusher Love Girl") singles.

Which ones did you keep?
01. Don't Hold The Wall
02. Tunnel Vision
03. Let The Groove Get In
04. Body Count
05. Mirrors

the most memorable/interesting tracks on the record imo, the rest of the album is just too samey and lifeless.

I quite like the first few songs and the last few, but it definitely sags somewhere in the middle for me.

http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/1554504/official-justin-timberlakes-2020-experience-sells-968000-debuts-at-no-1-on

It's official: Justin Timberlake's new album "The 20/20 Experience" debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, selling 968,000 copies in its first week, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

"20/20," released on March 19, is Timberlake's second No. 1 album and logs his best sales week yet. It follows his last release, 2006's "FutureSex/LoveSounds," which arrived atop the list with his previous high: 684,000. Timberlake's first album, 2002's "Justified," debuted and peaked at No. 2 with a 439,000 start.

"20/20's" monster sales are the 19th-largest week for an album since SoundScan started tracking data in 1991. The all-time best-selling week was when Timberlake's former group, 'N Sync, saw its "No Strings Attached" album debut with 2.42 million at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart dated April 8, 2000.

The full top 10 of the new Billboard 200 -- along with further sales analysis about "20/20's" arrival -- will be revealed on Wednesday, March 27.

Timberlake's bow with "20/20" is biggest overall sales frame since Taylor Swift's "Red" debuted with 1.2 million on the Nov. 10, 2012-dated chart. Among male artists, Timberlake has the largest week in nearly five years. The last larger by a man was when Lil Wayne's "Tha Carter III" debuted with 1.01 million on June 28, 2008.

Interestingly, "20/20" also tallies the third-biggest week for a solo male singer (aka: non-rapper). Only Usher and Garth Brooks have scored larger frames. Their "Confessions" (2004) and "Double Live" (1998) sets debuted with 1.10 million and 1.09 million, respectively.

Sources say Apple's iTunes Store was the top seller of "20/20" for the week, as overall digital sales, with Target its No. 2 account. The latter was the only retailer with an exclusive version of the album: It includes two bonus songs unavailable anywhere else: "Dress On" and "Body Count." Target has been heavily promoting the album via a series of TV commercials, the first of which premiered during CBS' broadcast of the Grammy Awards on Feb. 10. For its part, iTunes had an exclusive stream of "20/20" that premiered on March 11 -- more than a week before the album dropped on March 19.

During "20/20's" debut week, the lowest advertised price for the album at a national retailer was $7 -- both Walmart and Amazon.com were selling the physical CD for that price. Target promoted its exclusive version for $9.99. iTunes and its main competitor, Amazon MP3, sold the standard digital album for $10.99.

In the lead-up to the release of the album, Timberlake hosted and performed on NBC's "Saturday Night Live" (March 9) and had a week-long residency on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" (March 11-15). He also starred in his own TV concert special, "Target Presents: The iHeartRadio Album Release Party," which aired twice on the CW during release week: March 19 and 22. The show was first streamed live on the Web via the iHeartRadio service on March 18.

I don't think this is "well deserved" exactly but good for him anyway!

Yeah, it's a bit weird that a decent-but-hardly-brilliant album should open with such big numbers. It's a perfect example of how to roll out an album though.

Indeed. The promo/marketing for this album has been phenomenal.

I have such high hopes for volume 2, it just has to be better than the first one!

It's probably gonna be worse. Surely after so many years, he'd came back with his very best album? I imagine the stuff on Vol.2 would be inferior. :confused:

his management and record label have orchestrated a genius promotional campaign leading up to the album's release.

two more and very important facts
-the two singles released so far have been well received - even suit and tie, a weak lead single we all though it would be free falling right after its initial chart peak has shown an incredible stability in terms of popularity
-both his previous albums have been equally huge in america, selling 4m copies each. with mirrors just about to explode on the billboard chart, i reckon a double platinum certification is only a matter of short time

only vol 1 came out in late march whereas vol 2 is scheduled for a release in a far more competitive market season. it's way easier for a superstar to make an impact with a new set launched during spring rather than in autumn. less we not forget his last album happened almost seven years ago, that's quite a time gap to justify his label's will in testing the waters without worrying about serious chart rivalries. by no means am i suggesting vol 2 will turn out to be the better album, but i definitely think the mainstream/ poppier material is intentionally delayed for a number of good reasons.
