Justin's Instagram has been wiped. He's coming! 
Posted by: Bjork 9th January 2024, 08:37 AM
oh my Lil Nas X, Ariana and Justin all coming back at the same time
Posted by: Mangø 9th January 2024, 11:05 AM
Now all we need is Rihanna to announce something!

Way to kill off this thread already!

This man is truly God’s bravest warrior bc he tried the big comeback thing but then his Timbaland collab, the *NSYNC reunion, AND Trolls Band Together all released within weeks of The Woman In Me and if I was responsible for derailing so many people’s careers/comebacks in the span of 6 weeks I’d take a page out of Man Of The Woods and become one 
Posted by: neill2407 9th January 2024, 06:24 PM
I haven’t liked anything he has done in quite some time. Didn’t like anything from man of the woods era. I think he will struggle to make a successful comeback now given his age and changes in the way the music industry works.

This is the most accurate post ever.
Posted by: Jessie Where 9th January 2024, 07:12 PM
Also his reputation kind of being mud now won't help either.
Posted by: dandy* 9th January 2024, 07:24 PM
I liked Livin' Off The Land and Say Something last time around but I can't really remember anything else tbh. I'm definitely interested to hear what he comes back with, there aren't many other male pop stars who have had as many songs that I've enjoyed.
Posted by: Steve201 9th January 2024, 10:50 PM
He cancelled now too? What did he do?
Posted by: Jessie Where 9th January 2024, 11:02 PM
I don't know if he's "cancelled" per se, but all the revelations in Britney's book were pretty damning to say the least.
Posted by: Rob 10th January 2024, 11:48 AM
He would have been better to lay low for another year or so and let the Britney book stuff blow over but this man really has no shame. I eagerly anticipate it flopping.
Posted by: ThePensmith 11th January 2024, 07:43 AM
If I'm honest, Justin hasn't made a decent record on his own since "Mirrors" which was 10 years ago.
I don't anticipate therefore that this is going to do much, let alone with how he has basically (and rightly) been called to task for his part in what's come out in Britney's book.
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 11th January 2024, 08:12 AM
I actually quite like ‘Filthy’. Something about it’s production always stands out to me ‘Say Something’ and ‘Man of the Woods’ from his last album were really good too.
Posted by: Brer 11th January 2024, 12:46 PM
I really doubt the Britney book stuff will have much of an impact on how this does honestly, maybe I'm wrong but it seems to me that's kind of a niche online scandal and frankly mostly gaining traction amongst people who already didn't like him. Not that I'm saying he will make a huge comeback, I just think that if it does flop I wouldn't attribute that to the Britney thing any more than him tanking his own musical reputation with his poorly received last album / just the inevitable reality of him being an ageing popstar and struggling to get sufficient playlist support.
I'm definitely less excited about this than I normally would be about a JT comeback as the only single I really enjoyed last time was 'Say Something'. I guess if he leans into the country/folk style again this era he could do ok since that's quite the trendy sound right now.
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 11th January 2024, 01:51 PM
No idea if it's the lead single or not, but a preview of new song 'Sanctified' can be heard here:
Posted by: Sean. 14th January 2024, 09:19 PM
Words cannot explain my excitement! The legend is back!
Posted by: spiceboy 14th January 2024, 10:48 PM
Yeah, I'll be giving this a miss. He has some decent material but none of it makes up for what a mysogynistic pig he is.
Posted by: Sean. 15th January 2024, 11:31 AM
Most people are idiots tbf 😂
He has been singled out as part of this cancel culture, I find it quite sad personally.
Posted by: Jessie Where 15th January 2024, 11:49 AM
Posted by: Jessie Where 15th January 2024, 11:51 AM
This is the man who forced his girlfriend to have an abortion, then played guitar as he watched her crying on the bathroom floor (amongst other things), Why should he be beyond criticism exactly? 
Posted by: Sour Candy 15th January 2024, 02:13 PM
Also, he isn't cancelled per se (compared to artists like R. Kelly), we just don't support him after what he did to Britney and how he dealt the Janet's Super Bowl controversy.
He'll get enough support from US radio stations so no need to worry about that.
Posted by: vibe 15th January 2024, 05:17 PM
Will Radio 1 support him this era?
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 15th January 2024, 05:55 PM
It’s very unlikely I’d guess.
Posted by: Sour Candy 15th January 2024, 06:32 PM
Radio 2 might.
Posted by: spiceboy 16th January 2024, 06:43 PM

That’s the sad thing he doesn’t appear to have been cancelled. His reaction which was to put out a statement saying that Justin and Jennifer wish that Britney could leave the past in the past, was even more gross, rather than putting his hands up and saying “I was wrong and I apologise” like a real man should.
Honestly how he used her to launch his own career and let her be torn apart while knowing he cheated on her first and he made her have an abortion is so utterly gross. Vile human being.

Love that trailer!

Wow this is the first I heard of all this but then I’m not really a huge fan of either that I’d go and read a book like that!
Posted by: Bjork 20th January 2024, 01:58 PM
title would be much better as
Everything I thought I was 
instead of "It"
Posted by: .MIKE. 20th January 2024, 10:15 PM
I really don’t know why this has turned into a thread about Britney.
Looking forward to hearing what he comes back with.. hopefully nothing like the last album
Posted by: T Boy 20th January 2024, 11:05 PM

I’m not sure but going off the cryptic posts in this thread, I gather that Britney and Justin were once a couple who broke up and one of them quite publicly shamed the other at the time and now the other has released a tell all book revealing some truths.
Again, I’m just guessing and you’re right we should probably never mention Britney in a Justin thread because all that is just way too tenuous a link.
Posted by: Anita Hanjaab 20th January 2024, 11:40 PM
Awful awful man. We'll never forget him kicking Britney and Janet and standin on their shoulders to get a solo boost

He didn’t need a shoulder to stand on, an artist of a generation! Looking forward to another no1 album from him, I’m sad that Britney and Justin will never have that again but that’s life aye
Posted by: JackTheeStallion 21st January 2024, 10:11 AM
You really need to calm down, get some fresh air. Justin Timberlake is a multi millionaire you don't need to be in the trenches defending him like this getting so upset
Calling people freaks, weirdos and going to personal insults is absolutely unhinged. No one else has done that.

I really don't know why his solo career started out being about trashing Britney and as it turns out withholding truth about his own infidelities, but it did.
Posted by: Jessie Where 21st January 2024, 02:21 PM
Mate, you are seriously deranged. You need to get some anger management, and perhaps learn not to behave like a 5-year-old
Posted by: CoolHand501 21st January 2024, 05:27 PM
Are you his PR in disguise?
He
Posted by: Anita Hanjaab 21st January 2024, 05:36 PM
100% THIS!!! Brirney is a class act, and she never even responded. Of couesw, rhe man can cheat and society's just fine with it; a woman responds to this and cheats ONCE, and she's the villain.
Posted by: Steve201 21st January 2024, 09:44 PM
We are only 21 days into 2024 but this has to be thread of the year already!
Posted by: Tafty³³³ 21st January 2024, 10:00 PM
Just a general rule of thumb:
Can we all please respect each other and if you aren't a fan of him, please be accepting that there will be others out there who are anticipating his new material and will want a place to discuss his new material. However, that doesn't mean anyone gets to be rude and name-call people who aren't a fan of him, also.
Please keep it civil. Thanks.
Posted by: dandy* 23rd January 2024, 12:11 PM
Any continuation of unnecessary personal arguments are just going to be deleted. This is a thread to discuss Justin's new music and Tafty has already politely asked that everyone keep things civil.
Posted by: Sean. 23rd January 2024, 12:23 PM
You not seen the posts on the previous page then?
Posted by: CoolHand501 23rd January 2024, 02:56 PM
Intrigued by what his new material will be. I'd be surprised if he had a big hit in the UK, maybe a 19-56 run possibly.
Posted by: -Jay- 25th January 2024, 04:42 PM
The album is now up for preorder. Not much on the UK store, just Black vinyl and a CD, and various bundles containing one or both of those with t shirts or a hat!
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 28th January 2024, 09:56 PM
He also performed 'Sanctified' on SNL - I think this should've been the lead!
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 22nd February 2024, 03:06 PM
'Drown' is out tomorrow.
Posted by: JLJ 23rd February 2024, 05:33 PM
I’ve really liked both Drown and Selfish so far.
Also a UK tour was announced today. I’d really like to nab some tickets but pretty much everything has happened within this paymonth with still one week before payday
Posted by: No Sleeep 23rd February 2024, 05:36 PM
So annoyed he’s not coming to Glasgow. So many big artists are skipping here lately, not a fan of this trend!
Posted by: JLJ 23rd February 2024, 06:33 PM
Newcastle my city is nearly always overlooked too but at least there’s not just London this time around.
I wonder if I could nab tickets nearer time or if I’d have to bag them pretty fast? I have so many things to pay off but he’s one I’ve wanted to see for years now.
Posted by: neill2407 23rd February 2024, 11:50 PM
I disagree. It’s just typical urban style with no real melody. Selfish is the best thing he’s done in a long time.
Posted by: Anita Hanjaab 23rd February 2024, 11:56 PM
PREACH!!!

PREACH ROSAPARKSMYCAR!!!!!
BUR WHEN DID YOU COME BACK?!
Posted by: JLJ 15th March 2024, 11:03 PM
Anyone heard this in full? I’ll be listening tomorrow and rather excited. JTs pretty consistent with me a stellar discography as a solo artist.
How are we expecting this to do? I mean sales wise he could debut at #1 possibly? I know his popularity has seen a bit of a downfall lately but studio album wise he has a top 2 streak here in the UK so could he maintain this?
I’ve seen pretty muted reviews but what I’ve heard from the album I’ve personally really enjoyed. I guess we’ll soon see but intrigued to hear people’s thoughts on this 
Posted by: Sean. 16th March 2024, 10:08 AM
I don’t comment much on here about JT because of the hate but this could be his strongest album, no joke! Listen to Flame first, it’s life changing! The reviews on X etc are incredible, people that have listened to it without biased think it’s strong! Reviewers are mostly a certain type of person and he could have released the best album of all time and got a bad review! Honestly, there’s only 2-3 songs that aren’t 10/10
Posted by: dandy* 16th March 2024, 11:33 AM
I couldn’t make it all the way through, it’s way too long. Flame was actually my favourite on first listen too though, but I think that’s because it sounds most like the other songs of his I like. I saw an article on Billboard where they ranked all the tracks and they put Flame last though!
Initial impression was it was a kind of 3/5 type of album for me. Not bad but not anything I’m likely to return to, and definitely too long.
Posted by: Bjork 16th March 2024, 02:08 PM
I've only seen mixed reviews, haven't seen a single positive review
Posted by: JLJ 16th March 2024, 02:30 PM
I personally really enjoyed the album. Maybe a tad too long but nothing stood out as being bad. I think there’s elements of 00s Justin on this album. I’ll give it another listen but Flame did stand out for me as well as No Angels.
The N-Sync collaboration sounding exactly like a Saturdays album track (Here Standing) was a surprise. Can’t call how his actual physical / paid sales will be but surely this will be heading for top 5 at worst?
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 16th March 2024, 02:33 PM
I think a has a decent chance at #1, it's hard to tell though.
Posted by: Y'all Starlight 16th March 2024, 02:44 PM
I think he'll most likely debut at #2 again behind Ariana, there is always still a chance he will get the #1 tho! I didn't really enjoy the singles but will listen to the album soon to see if it's any better.
Posted by: Jαsє 16th March 2024, 04:31 PM
Posted by: Sour Candy 16th March 2024, 04:50 PM
This is #4 on US Apple Music (albums) currently so without strong physical sales it might even miss the top 5 there
Posted by: Bjork 16th March 2024, 05:15 PM
of course it depends 100% on the physicals
Posted by: Bjork 16th March 2024, 05:38 PM
Shocking that in the US she didn't get any song in the top 200 on Spotify, not even the singles
while Kacey Musgraves got 8
Posted by: Sean. 16th March 2024, 06:29 PM
Physicals were always going to be the decider! Can’t see it missing no1 in the US
Posted by: JLJ 16th March 2024, 07:35 PM
Not sure how true this is but..
I definitely feel this could’ve done a lot better if it had been released prior to Britney’s book. The music actually isn’t the issue here. However it could be worth remembering for an artist at the stage in their career Justin is he’s probably still going to do well - just not *as* well.
