March 24, 201312 yr I love Don't Hold The Wall. In fact the whole album is great apart from Suit & Tie IMO.
March 25, 201312 yr Update on US sales: HITS: JT ON THE MOVE: Justin Timberlake's The 20/20 Experience continues to outpace expectations, blowing past estimates of 950k, with an outside shot at a million, according to industry sources. The album would become the 19th album to sell a million in its first week since 1991. The last album to do so was Taylor Swift's Red, which moved 1.2 million when it debuted last fall. Timberlake would be the highest figure for a male artist since Lil Wayne scored 964k for Tha Carter IV in Sept., 2011. Sales estimates for the RCA album have gone from an initial total of 500k to 750k last week, 800k, then 850-900k to the current number. Kudos to the label team of Peter Edge and Tom Corson, along with Timberlake's management team, for a letter-perfect set-up, including appearances at the Grammys, SXSW and Saturday Night Live to fuel the demand. How high can it go? Stay tuned. (3/24p) They were stupid to not release this on Monday...
March 25, 201312 yr Author EEK. I hope it can hit the million! The "million in the first week" is more common than I first thought it would be in the US, isn't it? :lol: Although it's still not "common", it's just not as rare as I thought it was :lol: What did 'Futuresex/Lovesounds' open with? I'm assuming less?

I'm assuming less? 690k :) It is a rare thing though, there can't be more than 20 albums that have opened with 1m+.

March 25, 201312 yr I adore Blue Ocean Floor, but there is lots of great songs on this actually, the more I listen, definitely a grower.
