If Justified was Justin Timberlake's Over the Wall--the album where he firmly established himself apart from NSYNC--then FutureSex/LoveSounds was his Thriller--the album that made him a superstar. The set scored well among both fans and critics, earning a Grammy Album of the Year nomination, and produced six top 40 hits, including three #1s. The first of which, "Sexyback," became a minor pop culture phenomenon in 2006, and "What Goes Around...Comes Around" got a Record of the Year nomination. Produced principally by Timbaland, Danja and Timberlake himself, the album embodies the best of the time's cutting edge pop/R&B. Thoroughly modern though it is, it finds time to give us an old school Prince-style song in "Until the End of Time," a smooth ballad that was later re-recorded with Beyonce.Best: What Goes Around...Comes Around, Sexyback, My Love, Until the End of Time, FutureSex/LoveSounds, Summer Love
