Justin Timberlake unleashed his latest studio album ‘Everything I Thought It Was’ last week and has been pounding the promotional pavement in support of the project.
Preceded by the single ‘Selfish,’ the LP has also been pushed by way of follow-up effort ‘No Angels.’
Now, the first-week numbers are in. Find out how the project has fared commercially.
Full story below…
With the sales tallied and verified, ‘Everything I Thought It Was’ premiered at #4 on the Billboard 200 with 67,000 units.
Of that sum, pure sales comprise 41,000, while 24,000 units were amassed by way of 31.13 million on-demand streams of the set’s songs.
With that, JT registers the lowest first-week sales of his career. He also tallies the lowest charting album of his career to date.
Here’s how his previous releases stack up (first-week sales and placement):
‘Justified’ (2002) – 439,000 copies | #2
‘FutureSex/LoveSounds’ (2006) – 684,000 copies | #1
‘The 20/20 Experience’ (2013) – 968,000 copies | #1
‘The 20/20 Experience / 2 of 2’ (2013) – 350,000 copies | #1
‘Man of the Woods’ (2018) – 293,000 | #1
Interestingly, the less-than-towering final sum comes after Timberlake mounted a strong retail effort, offering up various iterations of vinyl and store exclusives.
So, folks, what are…

The album was not horrible but was disappointing and a lot of the songs sound the same, like remixes of one another.
Are we surprised….??? He’s considered a legacy act and he’s no longer young, hip or cute…
The album is generic. I barely got thru the entire album and haven’t revisited since.
Usher 53,000 👑
Justin 41,000
Offset 25,000
Chris 6,000 😭
TBF Chris didnt release an physicals no merch bundles, no nothing so all those sales of 6000 were predominately from itunes
It’s still only 6000 LMAO
It’s still more than what Britany would have done
One Britney album outsold Justin’s entire culture vulture discography try again
@BritneyJeann That’s a lie! Britney still needs mental help. You know it, I know it!
First off, culture vulture? You sound like a moron. Secondly? None of her albums has done remotely close to that stupid ass claim.
Hahah what? Britney does not even care, she has personal problems and do not even make any promos but still, her lowest charting albums Britney Jean and Glory both started with over 100.000. Britney’s only first album’s global sales would kill JT’s whole career alone. Britney rocks, JT is cancelled. Britney’s memoir already sold over 3 millions WW. Get a life!
I don’t know what bs numbers you are pulling from, but those aren’t close to accurate. GTFO with that nonsense. He also isn’t cancelled genius. Y’all are slow if you take everything she says at face value with the obvious mental problems that she has.
Dumb ass that f a g juice not pulling Usher’ s declining sales stats but did my man JT dirty 💅🏻 y’all go to HELL
Usher outsold dumb cHïñk 😭
Usher keeps spreading h e r p e s like your ancestors from Africa, n I g g a💅🏻
Bītćh it’s not my fault JT a flop and Ushers lessor my ancestors slay your slanted p**** flat face chïnkÿ china lady’s 💅
Your White master is calling you. Stop picking cotton in the field. No watermelon for you people tonight! JT can’t be cancelled no matter what! White Boy Power stay winning!
well tbf Usher was getting a push by the machine to sell less than 100K
Usher is a independent artist dumb dumb so what machine??
serves his ass right “til you do right by me everything you touch gonna fail”
😆 🤣 😂
BRITNEY WINS!!!!! #flop
The album sucks bad 🤮. A lot of songs sound similar and too familiar to his Future S** Love album from over a decade ago.
It’s no. Not surprising at poor sales. But he can rest on his catalog
I hope one day that your ears work properly.
Yaaas! Grill this n**** some more lol
Justin is not cute anymore. That’s really what it is. Sorry, Chile, but that’s the truth.
Pretty sure that millions of people would disagree with that stupid ass take.
LMFAO CRACKER FLOP!!!! he’ll never be king usher 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That’s actually more than I expected him to sell lol
He’s aged poorly, Ushers still successful attractive and talented
He hasn’t aged poorly… He has aged quite well. His vocals are still top notch and he is in great shape. The only thing hurting him right now is crazy miss Spears and her toxic ass fan base.
Where’s the delusional CB stan who always calls Usher CB and JT lessor wya h** usher outsold both and his tour gonna outsell them too😭😭😭😭😭😭
The album was horrible! His worst to date!!!
Yikes horrible numbers for such a major promo campaign
He just keep making the same album over and over like JLo. Same visuals / choreo, nothing has changed in 20 years. With both artists you can predict what the album will sound like before hearing it which is the problem. ‘Conditions’ is kinda good though. Need to switch up the sound, surprise people, be brave not sit in the same lane to stay relevant. On the positive, he’s selling tour tickets which may be the end game.
THE ICONIC JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE! Always gets the most comments on this site…lmao. You vultures can’t get enough. Ask me how I know. Justin wannabe’s! LOL
65k😭
No MALE artist (singer or rapper) has sold more than that 968,000 week since 2013. Nobody. ;p
THE ICONIC JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE! 🙂
Iconic my ass. He is a failure.
Emberassing stream numbers, only 67000 albums in the first week, first single peaked only at No.29 in UK. Bye bye bye Dustbin Timberfake 😂
Hahahaa 67.000 first week sales? Poor JT.
His first single only peaked at No.29 in the UK and No.19 in the US. Also has emberrassing stream numbers at Spotify. Poor JT is such a loser. Britney’s memoir sold over 3 millions copies WW and still counting. Go, cry in your room JT!!! Dustbin Timberfake is now Flopslake 😂
F L O P
I don’t like him. Never did,never will. He’s just not that good. He has a better than you attitude and doesn’t sing that great. You can’t win them all!
