Timberlake managed to saturate the news cycle leading up to his album's release with TV commercials, late night comedy stints and a very smart Target sponsorship, which managed to bump up his sale predictions from an initial figure of 500,000 copies to Billboard reporting it was looking like he had sold 950-975,000 copies by the end of the week. (The final sales stats for The 20/20 Experience are expected, at the latest, Wednesday morning.) Even more impressively, he accomplished all this without making you feel sick of him.

Timberlake seemed to be everywhere leading up to his third album's release on March 19. His latest release marked his return to music seven years after releasing 2006's FutureSex/LoveSounds, a record that sold 684,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
