įour singles were released from Justified. As of 2012, the album has sold over 10 million copies worldwide. It was certified three-times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), having sold over 3.9 million copies in the US. Justified debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 and sold 439,000 copies in its first week.
The album earned Timberlake four Grammy Award nominations, including Album of the Year, and won the award for Best Pop Vocal Album. Justified received generally positive reviews from critics, who complimented the mature progression of Timberlake's material, although some criticized its lyrical content. Primarily an R&B album, Justified also contains influences of dance-pop, funk, and soul music. The majority of the album was produced by the Neptunes (credited as " Williams and Hugo") and Timbaland, and features guest appearances by Janet Jackson, Clipse, and Bubba Sparxxx. For his solo album, Timberlake began to adopt a more mature image as an R&B artist opposed to the previous pop music recorded by the group. Half of the tracks were originally written for Michael Jackson by the Neptunes and later modified. The album was written and recorded in a six-week period as Timberlake's band NSYNC was on hiatus. It was released on November 5, 2002, by Jive Records.
Justified is the debut solo studio album by American singer Justin Timberlake.
