Justin Timberlake’s early stardom proved to be a step-by-step preparation for achieving even greater things. He started as a child performer on The New Mickey Mouse Club in 1993, alongside future stars like Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and Ryan Gosling. Major superstardom quickly came his way as the heartthrob frontman of NSYNC, arguably the biggest boy band phenomenon at the turn of the millennium. By 2000, with their hit album No Strings Attached, NSYNC became a global success story, selling 2.4 million copies in one week, a record that stood for 15 years.

As NSYNC continued to gain new fans, Justin’s star shone even brighter. He embarked on a solo career with his debut album Justified in 2002. Collaborating with top producers like The Neptunes and Timbaland, the album was a critical and commercial success, showcasing hits like Señorita, Like I Love You, Rock Your Body, and Cry Me a River. The album earned Grammy nominations for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration (Like I Love You) and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance (Cry Me a River). It sold over ten million copies worldwide.

Timberlake’s second album, FutureSex/LoveSounds (2006), raised the bar with its lead single SexyBack, staying at number One for seven weeks. Other hits like My Love and What Goes Around… Comes Around also topped the charts. The album’s Prince-esque sound was critically acclaimed and earned multiple Grammy nominations. Timberlake won Best Dance Recording for SexyBack and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for My Love. The “FutureSex/LoveShow” tour was one of the highest-grossing tours of 2007.

By 2007, Timberlake began focusing more on his acting career, with roles in “Shrek 3,” “The Love Guru,” and “The Social Network,” among others. Despite this, he continued to deliver hit songs, collaborating with artists like 50 Cent, Madonna, and Timbaland. His next career move involved investing in multiple restaurants in Los Angeles and New York.

In 2013, Timberlake released The 20/20 Experience, featuring standout tracks like Suit & Tie with Jay-Z and Mirrors. The album sold nearly a million copies in its opening week in the US and was the best-selling album of the year. It also became Timberlake’s third consecutive number one album in the UK. The album earned Grammy nominations, with Suit & Tie winning Best Music Video and Pusher Love Girl winning Best R&B Song. Part two of The 20/20 Experience, released six months later, also hit number One in the US and featured hits like Take Back the Night and TKO.

In 2014, Timberlake’s involvement in the “Trolls” movie provided a platform for the global hit Can’t Stop the Feeling!. The soundtrack, produced by Timberlake, was a commercial success. He co-composed the soundtrack for his wife Jessica Biel’s movie “The Book of Love”.

His 2018 album Man of the Woods was tied to a Super Bowl performance and featured collaborations with Chris Stapleton and Timbaland. The single Say Something was nominated for a Grammy for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.

Throughout his career, Justin Timberlake has excelled as a singer, songwriter, record producer, actor, and businessman. With over 90 million albums sold, 10 Grammy Awards, and three Brit Awards, Timberlake is one of the world’s best-selling music artists and an exceptional entertainer in the history of show business.
