Justin Timberlake has done it.
Ahead of the premiere of its video, the singer’s latest single ‘Can’t Stop The Feeling’ has rocketed straight to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Full story on the incredible feat below…
The singer earns his fifth chart-topper with the cut, which is the lead release from the soundtrack of DreamWorks‘ new movie ‘Trolls’ (which he plays the protagonist in).
‘Feeling,’ Timberlake’s first Hot 100 debut, knocks last week’s winner Drake to #2 with ‘One Dance.’
To achieve the feat, the song sold 379,000 US copies in its first week, commanded a Stateside radio audience of 83 million, and earned 15.6 million streams in North America.
The weight of JT’s name multiplied by the track’s made-for-radio flavour meant in many ways it was always destined for the top spot.
With a visual due imminently, it’s fair to say it’s stay at #1 is unlikely to be a short one.
We’re not particularly enamored with the song, but it’s easy to understand why it’s mass appealing.

BLAH
Rihanna rises 13-10 with “Needed Me,” matching Michael Jackson for the third-most top 10s in the Hot 100’s history. -Billboard
But unlike him, it´s all due to payola, nowadays basicness and the release of 7 singles per year LOL Where are her album sales? Her talent? 🙂 You cannot seriously believe anybody with a brain thinks Rihanna is slaying in a real way, right? Or that she´s doing something as big as Michael Jackson, right? Tell me it isn´t so.
Why you bitter like some turnip greens? lol, calm down boo boo 🙂
Truths are not bitter mate. I just like facts and love writing about them once in a while 🙂
You’re stupid that’s not fact that’s an opinion that you have, but why you mad though ?????
It´s a feel good song so I´m not mad or anything. But he is just not trying to be innovative or anything. Todays market just rewards easy and basic. Sorry to say. A song like this obviously doesn´t deserve to DEBUT at #1. But then again, nowadays it´s so easy to do it while before it was almost impossible.
There´s no reason why this boy (and I think a lot of his stuff has been great don´t get me wrong) should be doing this great without even trying that much while other people who just don´t stop pushing teh envelope and sanging and everything are paid dust after a while. So unfair.
Then why hasn’t Beyonce, “THE WORLDS BIGGEST SUPERSTAR” debuted at #1 with any of her songs?
I don´t care, not a fan of hers. Maybe because she has real success wiith her albums so she is not focusing on Hot 100 hits. I don´t know. I wasn´t thinking about her when I wrote my comment. But there are people working non stop trying to do great things who definitely deserve to be tehre instead of Rihanna, Justin beiber and Justin Timberlake. That´s for sure.
Bloop!
That simply mean people dont care about them.
And they did the same payola and all as well but people just dont care .
If only you knew something about art you would know an artist is not only a voice,singing skills and pushing the envolope its about expressing themselve and selling an image.
And btw talent its something subjective ..someone can find an artist talented while another one won’t. So there is no fact about talents.
Congratulations Rihanna, Sweetheart.
.
“Needed Me” is officially a Top 10-Hot 100 Hit.
.
P.S: Poor “Kiss It Better”. 😉
.
How peculiar it is that a song with much more mainstream appeal, and one of which was actually sent to Pop radio, is being surpassed by the “Urban” song that has a censored video. Oh well, you just never know to expect with Rihanna. LOL. 😉
If Justin´s song is basic Rihanna´s are just terrible hun. At least he can perform 🙂 Seriously, better have someone with talent liek Justin, even though with uninsppired material than the usual talentless payola-streaming queen with no sales to match 🙂
LOL
The song is basic and what crack w****
Why is this crack Whitney avi on rih c*** today I have respect for Whitney so I will not drag you stfu I’m in the mall listening to them playing Rihanna take a bow I hope needed me goes to number one I love how rih just creep up on the hot 100 keep breaking records on the downlow
no thanks, i’m good
Stay good. Just know that the song doesn’t need your support, obviously…
oh i know. stay pressed though.
The song sucks.
your a Ciara fan please you have no room to talk about no body
I can say whatever the f*** I please B****. Stay mad,
I just went on billboard hot 100 and Justin was nowhere to be found. Kiii.. The title is misleading.
It hasn’t been updated yet
Learn to read! Kii
Awesome!
Wtf ? The song is basic af. There’s some other deserving artists / songs that should be in that position. This s*** is all PAYOLA, WHITE HYPE, POPULARITY CONTEST, and overall bs just like his last era all hype and nothing. Girl bye, anything can go #1 theses days I see.
Except Thighyonce apparenlty.
OMFG “Sorry” is down to #31!!! SCREAMING!!!!!!! ??????????
What happened, Beyawnce? Teehee
And just like that, Lemonade has been forgotten kii
I’m not even hating on Beyonce today but how in hell he got to number one that fast how do billboard count numbers does it boils down to white stations playing this suck ass song formation should have at least get there with all the streaming my niece told me Beyonce album is good and I should give it a listen to I’m going to put aside my differences and try it
atleast it sold well, others rely on PAYOLA tovreach the summit of Hot100 and that shows on their album sales
I see JOHNVIDAL is oit to play today, DRAG A BIT!!!!
I see JOHNVIDAL is out to play today, DRAG A BIT!!!!
the song is still trash, it’s gon free fall like my fave’s songs on Hot 100
.
Beyonce really paying her singles dust eversince people let RTW flop after she promoted it so bad
.
Hopefully SORRY will have a comeback and slay!
You know I don´t care about her but why should anyone come for her “lack” of singles success when she just sold like over 100k of her album in 3rd week? LOL These guys are hilarious. They really think Rihanna and the like sare slaying something.
I mean her 9 weeks #1 song only sold 1.4 mil in the US
Lb rih is steady climbing wow
Stfu b****!!!!
Why can’t Bey slay the albums AND singles charts?
ask the people on your level son
.
exit this way ——>
Why can’t Ciara slay the AM/PM & Shell Gas station charts?
Answer my question. Why can Adele’s fat, boring ass have a #1 single and album simultaneously but Bey can’t? Even Katy did it. Kii.
From the beginning i said this is a cheap score. It says a lot that it debutes at nr.1 wow.
It sounds like a song that has already been done, but hey the majority of people like simple songs.
this song is soooo bad , I wonder how S****** Blonde feels about it
I wonder that too. I thought he had killed himself after watching Gaga slay David Bowie´s tribute in a way Madonna could never. But he reapppeared recently.
I saw him seething over Gaga’s performance few posts ago like Grannydonna would have done better
.
all Madonna do is to insult Christians to get publicity and extended relevency
@John
I have already answered that question in another post, seems like only her fans liked her so called tribute, which is expected, you monsters love everything she does.
I’m sorry was that a fu cking joke!? Absolutely NO ONE apart from Gags’ delusional stans liked that atrocious “tribute.” Even Bowie’s son had to chime in about how 5h1t it was.
OMG Logic
You know damn well Gaga has been praised in all stages these last two years, including her tribute to bowie (a few fans will always have something to say obviously). But she showed once again she can sang, she can be entertaining, she can play with her musicians and so on.
I only defend talent. I don´t even consider myself his her fan. Mariah Carey? Now that I´m a fan of hers. To say only a few Gaga fans liked that and think she is great is ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. She did great. best performance of the night next to Kendrick. Remember T******** ??? LOL I agree with him most of the times. Also on this.
I need Bruno Mars to comeback and show lessers how its done! selling albums! staying at #1 for 14 weeks! and selling tour tickets!
Bruno is pretty much the only super talented man in maisntream pop music I can think of right now.
Last I checked it was Mark Ronson who stayed at #1 for 14 weeks.

DRAG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sam is that you seething in the corner? Hyping up your fave when she’s just a basic like Ariana Grande. C
This song is absolute crap…It being from a kids movie is no excuse
OMG Too good is climbing up the charts. Already #14 on Spotify.
‘
And Kiss it better has climbed 14 points, oh and Needed me is in the top ten, slay.
I need Rosie to pop-up and throw one sentence shade to the non-singing girl and set a certain self hating has-been over the cliff writing essays upon essays.
Last Beyoncé album and Rihanna’s one sell the same amount ww .
And nothing gonna change with lemonade and Anti ww. At the end of the year you will see that and it’s what matter.
Beyhive think bey is an album seller the dream is to big
An album seller (nowadays) = Adele, Taylor Swift
Congrats Riri! Anyways, Lemonade is set to be back on top in UK and probably in US since its number one on iTunes. She did all this w/o Spotify and Vevo.Drake who? Views already out of top ten in France and dropped to number 5 in Australia(Bey #3), and New Zealand (Bey #1) and #7 in Netherland (Bey #1), and UK (Bey;#3).
Lemonade ? Is #5 in France
Rihanna has another top 10 hit. This song is becoming a monster on Spotify so needed me may chart #1 on Billboard Hot 100.
Damn Bey where you at mammas?!
Drakeisha is still slaying… Too Good is coming sistas…
This JT mess is garbage no wonder the US is eating it up.
I drag bey but with all those downloads and streaming formation and one of her songs deserve that spot at the top at least how do they count the numbers rih have to climb her way up the top Justin came Friday got there so fast make me wonder
Isn’t this for that Troll animated film? The song is boring, but hey like I said, he goes away long enough for his same old sound become’s new again. Funny, everyone is getting a #1 hit minus an alleged queen. But they say it’s so easy, beats me.
.
So Needed Me is a top 10 hit? I’m very surprised.
I have a weakness for him but the songs that goes number one these days are laughable, I just hope it doesn’t stay there forever like Rihanna’s Work, enough with the forgettable and disposable music.
??? Your honesty is so refreshing, lol!
Wow thank you for your honesty. We were anticipating what you had to say 🙂 But really, I know damn well deep inside you know the real deal. As almost everybody you have a couple of soft spots and also a couple of talented artists you hate for no reason. But i know you know the truth.
This song is coconuts
I’m convinced that the Hot 100 is a FIXED chart! It’s been that way since the start of this decade.
2010
‘Tik Tok’ (Kesha) … 9 weeks #1
2011
‘Hold It Against Me’ (Britney)
‘Party Rock Anthem’ (LMFAO)
‘Last Friday Night’ (Katy Perry)
2012
‘S*** and I know It’ (LMFAO)
‘Whistle’ (FloRida)
2013
‘Thrift Shop’ (Macklemore)
‘Harlem Shake’ (Baauer)
‘Royals’ (Lorde)
2014
‘Timber’ (Kesha/Pitbull)
‘Blank Space’ (Taylor Swift … which is a terrible single off a pretty good album)
… I can go on and on!
Do some deserving songs end up at #1, yes! Still, it’s really one of those things where your witnessing a song either climb to the top or get placed there! JT is a good artist overall, but he’s been disappointing (musically) since 20/20!
Cool
Its called a POP chart because it counts which songs are popular. Charts do matter, you can’t discount them all of a sudden just because you’re failing at having popular songs. That’s not how it works.
“Thriller” the album was helped very much by “Thriller” the single; Whitney’s(it was hers) “The bodyguard soundtrack” was helped very much by her cover of “I will always love you”, Janet Jackson’s “janet” was helped very much by her single “That’s the way love goes”. So too Madonna’s “Ray of light” and the single “ray of light”.
Most classic albums were accompanied by hits. That’s the way its always been that’s the way it’ll forever be. Just cause you can’t satisfy the popular pallet in singles anymore doesn’t mean you should discredit charts. Only people who do that are those that can’t get hits.
Plus, music is art and when you start comparing art according to quality, you run risk of not making sense because art is VERY subjective. For example, MILLIONS of people think AC/DC,The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, MJ, Fleetwood Mack are “brilliant art” but I hate their music resoundingly. Same thing with rap/hip-hop. Most people who look like me (black) love it but I’ve just never liked it at all and that’s fine.
Singles charts are an objective gauge at what song is popular, if yours is not there then its not popular, deal with it but don’t discredit singles charts just because your songs are no longer “popular”. Nobody has the duty to like the type of music you like. What’s the saying? Everybody hates lists that they aren’t a part of.
You are so right.God bless you
