'''''Justified''''' is the debut [[studio album]] by singer [[Justin Timberlake]]. Released after the break up of the group [['N Sync|*NSYNC]], the album signaled Timberlake's desire to craft a more mature image than that of a "[[boy band]] member". The album features guest performances by [[Timbaland]], [[Clipse]], [[Bubba Sparxxx]], and [[Janet Jackson]]. The final song, "Never Again", featured [[Brian McKnight]] on nearly all of the instruments. ''Justified'' was honored with two [[Grammy Award]]s at the [[46th Grammy Awards|2004 Grammy Awards]] ceremony in [[Los Angeles, California|Los Angeles]]. The album has sold more than seven million copies.

The album was fronted by "[[Like I Love You]]", a hit single that proved Timberlake's solo sales could rival his former band's success. It was [[Record producer|produced]] by the famous [[Hip hop music|hip-hop]] production duo [[The Neptunes]], and was accompanied by a music video that showed Timberlake's veneration for pop icon [[Michael Jackson]].

The album peaked at #2 on the US [[Billboard 200]], selling 450,000 copies and was eventually certified 3x [[RIAA certification|Platinum]] by the [[Recording Industry Association of America|RIAA]].

''Justified'' debuted at #6 on the [[UK Albums Chart]] selling 38,842 copies. However, 11 weeks later the album shot to #1 (staying there for 7 weeks) and was eventually certified 6x [[Music recording sales certification|Platinum]].

The popularity of the first single was equalled or surpassed by the releases which followed:
*"[[Cry Me a River (Justin Timberlake song)|Cry Me a River]]", a [[ballad (music)|ballad]] (accompanied by a dark video depicting a tale of rejection and revenge, which could be seen as evocative of his relationship with [[Britney Spears]])
*"[[Rock Your Body (Timberlake)|Rock Your Body]]", a [[disco]]-infused dance number (which is said to have originally been for [[Michael Jackson]])
*"[[Señorita (song)|Señorita]]", a danceable love song with a vaguely [[Latin American music|Latin]] feel

=="I'm Lovin' It"==
In [[2003 in music|2003]], a fifth single was released, titled "[[I'm Lovin' It (song)|I'm Lovin' It]]". The song, partly a leftover song from the ''Justified'' sessions, did not appear on the album, which proved extremely lucrative when it was sold to the [[McDonald's]] Corporation for use in a massive TV and radio advertising campaign of the same name. ''Justified'' was not re-released to include the song.

Justified is the debut studio album by singer Justin Timberlake. Released after the break up of the group *NSYNC, the album signaled Timberlake's desire to craft a more mature image than that of a "boy band member". The album features guest performances by Timbaland, Clipse, Bubba Sparxxx, and Janet Jackson. The final song, "Never Again", featured Brian McKnight on nearly all of the instruments. Justified was honored with two Grammy Awards at the 2004 Grammy Awards ceremony in Los Angeles. The album has sold more than seven million copies.

The album was fronted by "Like I Love You", a hit single that proved Timberlake's solo sales could rival his former band's success. It was produced by the famous hip-hop production duo The Neptunes, and was accompanied by a music video that showed Timberlake's veneration for pop icon Michael Jackson.

The album peaked at #2 on the US Billboard 200, selling 450,000 copies and was eventually certified 3x Platinum by the RIAA.

Justified debuted at #6 on the UK Albums Chart selling 38,842 copies. However, 11 weeks later the album shot to #1 (staying there for 7 weeks) and was eventually certified 6x Platinum.

The popularity of the first single was equalled or surpassed by the releases which followed:

"I'm Lovin' It"

In 2003, a fifth single was released, titled "I'm Lovin' It". The song, partly a leftover song from the Justified sessions, did not appear on the album, which proved extremely lucrative when it was sold to the McDonald's Corporation for use in a massive TV and radio advertising campaign of the same name. Justified was not re-released to include the song.
