Despite attempts by Britney Spears fans to thwart the success narrative of Justin Timberlake‘s comeback single, ‘Selfish,’ it appears the Pop crooner may be the one having the last laugh.
‘Selfish’ – the lead single from Justin’s new album ‘Everything I Thought It Was’ (due March 15) – quietly entered Billboard’s Digital Song Sales tally last week as the highest-charting new song (#5) based off just one day of sales.
By the time the January 25-released cut enjoyed its first full sales tracking period (January 26-February 2), it still maintained a tight grip on the digital sales chart – moving up to #4. Paired with radio airplay and streaming, the sales figures garnered during the aforementioned dates pushed the Cirkut-produced cut to a #19 opening on this week’s Hot 100.
A breakdown of the numbers below.
- Streaming: 11.5 million U.S.-based streams
- Sales: 10,000 digital downloads
- Radio airplay: 22.4 million audience impressions
Marking the 29th top 40 hit of his career, the #19 premiere of ‘Selfish’ comes as one of the highest solo debuts he’s made yet on the Hot 100.
In fact, his only songs to arrive higher were ‘Say Something‘ (#9 debut in 2018), ‘Filthy‘ (#9 debut in 2018), ‘Can’t Stop the Feeling!‘ (#1 in 2016), and ‘Holy Grail‘ (#8 debut in 2013).
Look below to see who joins him on this week’s updated TGJ Chart Check: Hot 100 (led by Megan Thee Stallion‘s ‘Hiss‘).

Usher could never
…FLOP THIS HARD, YOU ARE CORRECT LMAO 🤣
Usher’s last album barely did 50k. Justin’s last album went platinum.
Nicki was the last female rapper to go #1 on iTunes so far this year, the last rapper to go #1 on billboard since last year, has surpassed 56 million monthly listeners on Spotify, scored multiple top 10 hits in 2023, & did all this w/out having a Grammy👀 15years in the game🤭
Absolutely no one and I mean ABSOLUTELY no one is checking for this JT song or record. He’s washed up and bitter that the truth is finally be revealed on the real fraud he is. I asked my white coworkers who all range from 23-42 and all 5 of whom I asked didn’t even know JT had a new album coming out, let alone a new song out. This is Payola at its best. And now with his career in flames, now he’s suddenly ready for an *NSYNC tour?? Ha! Puhleasseeeeeeee….he used to talk mad sh*t against them and the idea of reuniting and now all of a sudden he is ready to dance and sing with them again with his AARP card in hand? Ha! Laughable. Lance bass always shaded the sh*t out of him back in the day during 2005-2012 and I was always here for it…we love a messy queen 🤴
What Nsync tour is he ready for? He never agreed to an Nsync tour. He did a Nsync song for Trolls 3 and that was it. You’re getting hype over nothing lol.
Chile shut up and sit down…he and the boys have been teasing an overall reunion and tour since last summer. Google and do your research. Clearly you don’t read and only get your info while trolling on TGJ. Ol’ nappyheaded h*e…go write a book report.
Justin that you? 👀
LMAO FLOP! ALL OF KING USHERS LESSERS OUT HERE FLOPPING LMAO 🤣 🤣🤣
Crank up the PR machine to make this look like a “success”, just like Madonnas tour lol.
Who cares…the amount of promos he has done should secure at least top 10
FACTS FACTS FACTS. Dude did more press for a song then most people do for an album lol
He was on Fallon, SNL and released a music video. You call that more promo than album release? He did the bare minimum.
He barely did promo and he missed 1 day of tracking because it was released on a Thursday. It would’ve hit top 10 otherwise.
This site is hilarious. A bunch of randoms arguing over their fave celeb, while said celebs has no idea you even exist.
Y’all need Jesus.
Just like your sky daddy doesn’t exist f*** off f**
Some of y’all talking real fcked up about not just Justin but timberland to cause he the producer. And neither deserves the hatin.
Yessss daddy is winning. Usher will never able to made a top 20 debut with his flop song FLOP FLOP AND RUIN RUIN
