Did Justin Timberlake flop? He sold 350K first week...

[JerseyBoy23]

Didn't he do 900,000+ first week in March? For Timberlake standards that's a flop.

His movie flopped too

At cacs in here making excuses for their new Elvis fukk that cac

While it was a fantastic record-breaking weekend for Sandra Bullock and George Clooney's "Gravity," the other big release for the weekend, "Runner, Runner" didn't do so well.

The Justin Timberlake and Ben Affleck gambling movie bombed opening weekend, coming in third behind Alfonso Cuaron's space film and kid flick "Cloudy 2."

Usher sent the young goon bieber to drop a hot single and fukked his whole life up.

Then usher goin come thru like kaoken goku and crush dem buildings

Two number 1 albums in one year, one platinum and one guaranteed at least Gold is a flop now

 

[Real]

Part 1 has sold 2.5 million copies.

I'm sure he's fine with selling 350k copies of the second part the first week

I think it will sell a milly overall when it is all said and done

[DF is BUSY]

both albums doing plat eventually.... though I do agree he should have done a double disc...

 

[Rapmastermind]

Part 1: 4 Million Worldwide
Part 2: Will Do Platinum U.S. and another Million Worldwide


That will be 3x Platinum US and 6x Platinum worldwide for two albums with about 10 songs on them each. Justin will also most likely win mutiple Grammy's and other awards. There's no way anyone can spin this year as nothing but a great success for Justin. Part II was going to do half of Part 1 cause it didn't have the hype or hit singles. Also Part 1 is actually still getting spins 6 months later.

Justin really is the most overrated artist of the last 10 years, average singer, average songwriting, good production.


To hear his struggle voice on Holy Grail was pitiful.

It's not a flop. It's basically disc 2 of the previous album sold seperately. This wasn't going to do the numbers he did in March regardless for several reasons:

1) His March album was his comeback from a 7 year hiatus. There was momentum from two huge singles, a Grammy performance, a full week on Fallon, and an SNL appearance which brought in high ratings. Part 2 didn't have that kind of set up.

2) Part 2 didn't have anywhere near the promo. He released two singles months apart. He only did a handful of appearances for this one.

3) Part 1 isn't all that old and people are still listening to it. "Mirrors" is still in the top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 and Part 1 is still selling.

4) If people didn't like Part 1, chances are they won't check for Part 2 (even though Part 2, outside of two or three songs, sounds nothing like Part 1)

5) A lot of people that loved Part 1 don't feel Part 2

Personally, I think JT made the right move by seperating the albums because they are different. If he wanted bigger numbers, he could've re-named Part 2 and released it in November or December (it was originally rumored to be a November release).

And LOL @ any comparisons to Justin Beiber. The only thing they have in common is both have the same first name. Beiber still makes teeny-bopper music and that "Heartbreak" song is no different.

 

[Rohiggidy]

you dudes love talking about sales smh

 

[Never Broke Again]

flop might not be the word, but that shyt unperformed like crazy

and miss me with "B-bb-but thats way more than these other artists" theres double standards to this shyt. When you get crowned as the king of pop like that at the VMA's you don't let go 2 flop singles and sell 1/3 of your previous release
