As both a member of Nsync and a solo artist, Southern superstar Justin Timberlake has played a major role in the teen pop explosion of the '90s and 2000s. He is adored by millions of fans, making Justin one of the hottest male solo artist of our time.
Timberlake got his start on the Disney Channel's '90s version of The Mickey Mouse Club along with fellow Nsyncer JC Chasez.*NSYNC got started in Orlando, FL, in 1996, when Timberlake and Chasez teamed up with Lance Bass, Chris Kirkpatrick, and Joey Fatone. Released by RCA/BMG in 1998, the vocal quintet's self-titled debut album sold millions of copies in both the United States and Europe and contained the smash hits "I Want You Back" & "Tearing Up My Heart."
*NSYNC's second album, No Strings Attached, was released on Jive in 2000 and was even more commercially successful; No Strings Attached went double platinum in only one week, and the singles "Bye Bye Bye" and "This I Promise You" became major hits.
After selling a record breaking of 30 million copies worldwide with No String Attached Jive then released Celebrity, *NSYNC's third album, in 2001, and after that. After a heartbreaking break up with pop female superstar Britney Spears Timberlake started recording as a solo artist. The singer had performed live as a solo artist before *NSYNC, but it wasn't until the early 2000s that he actually recorded an album as a solo act.
Justified, Timberlake's first solo album, was released on Jive in November 2002. "Like I Love You," the album's first single, became a major hit and was followed by a second single, "Cry Me a River" and now the ever popular boogie down "Rock your body" Justin is now getting ready to go on the road this summer with Christina Augilera for the Justified/ Stripped summer tour.
