15 years after first topping the Billboard 200, Justin Timberlake‘s sophomore solo LP (and arguable magnum opus) ‘FutureSex/LoveSounds’ found itself in a familiar position this week when it was listed among the top-selling albums in the country.
Originally released in September 8, 2006, ‘Future’ – which boasts the hits ‘SexyBack,’ ‘My Love,’ and ‘Until the End of Time’ – spent some time in the upper rankings of Pop iTunes sales listing recently as fans took to social media in droves to ode the anniversary of the critically acclaimed project. Among fans of the effort was the creator himself.
Taking to Instagram Wednesday (September 8), Timberlake told his 61.5 million followers:
“15 years ago today, I released my 2nd album… FutureSex/LoveSounds. This album changed my life. Every album is a different chapter and special to me but, this one??? I don’t even know if I have the words.
I’m often asked what my favorite song on the album is but they’re all my babies so I can’t pick. But I do know this: album STILL HITS.”

While we’ll find out next week if the sales boost was enough to push ‘Future’ back into the Billboard 200, what’s for sure is the interest underscores excitement for the next offerings from the GRAMMY winner.
Until we get more news on that heavily teased effort (the follow-up to 2018’s critically polarizing ‘Man of the Woods’), look below to see where Justin’s ‘Future’ landed on updated sales charts.
The KING! I was spinning this on vinyl just the other week! This is is Magnum Opus and a CLASSIC 💯
You liar I bet you only heard his singles on the radio and maybe had only cassette bought in a gas station..
It cost $20 bîtch so even YOU can afford the vinyl reissue.
GIRL BYE. STREAM JANET.
You CAN be fans of BOTH… I doubt Janet would feel hurt and never speak to you again 🤣
Boy bye, strip janet
Kinda weird that Justin only has 4 Albums, 3 if you don’t count Flop in the Woods 😂
U can’t count? There’s part 2 for 20/20 vision and that’s considering as an individual studio album. Therefore, he had 5 albums💅🏿
Justin is canceled. Bye
Your mom is cancelled for opening her legs to her brother and giving birth to you.
Yo dusty ass Luggage is cancelled💅🏿
His best album to date…
Better than any Janet album!
And then you woke up. You clowns say anything on here to get attention. It’s obvious that you didn’t get hugs from your cràck w***** of a mom
Someone so mad at Justin being a better singer, I have to turn up Janet’s music just to hear her vocals!
Yesss let’s support this white man. He’s so fine❤️
I love Justin. He’s MJ of this generation
Legendary!!! 👑 💯 Album still influences to this day. Love JT! Will always buy his albums. Own everything including the NSYNC albums! 💕
:: sips truth tea::
Why are y’all even honoring this irrelevant cultural vulture that never credits/nominates his black producers to the Academy (not even Timbaland) and disrespected Janet along apologizing a decade and a half later after being shamed. GIRL BYE. Janet handled that ish gracefully even when interviewed on Oprah and Oprah had call JT’s trash ass out b/c Janet wanted to take the high road.
Nah, don’t celebrate this fool. Let his career remain in obscure irrelevance and the trash like that Man in the Woods album and garbage Super Bowl performance that he wasted his money paying for. Someone like JT gets Grammys by being a selfish jerk and kissing the Recording Academy’s ass but forgetting about the people who got him there. This fool has been “celebrated” and “awarded” enough.
Going back to watching Netflix…
Stfu! Hater! If you don’t like it, GTFO!
Ho, why is you here? Is that the best you got? I said no lies.
You want to tell a white washed narrative of JT, fine but that doesn’t mean the rest of us need to buy into. You can be a puppet, but I’m going to keep it real.
It’s quiet, ain’t no back talk.
Truth tea is what’s wrong with the internet. Using literally lies to try and dismiss everything amazng and influential someone did. Your retarded asssss could never be as talented. You are scum. Janet is a grown assss woman and doesn’t need your input at all!!
I spoke no lies. That’s why you stay pressed and quiet on real points. Where’s your rebuttal, ho? The best you’ve got to us not buying JT’s whitewashed narrative is to call me a r*****?
Stay pressed.
