[edit] Sales

In regard to the sales column listed on this page, where it states it's sold 3.5 million in the United States, this is a false statement. The reason being the RIAA deals in shipments, and an album cannot sell more copies than has been shipped. In this case 3 million have been shipped, 3.5 million cannot be sold. I suggest the U.S sales be changed to 3 million or below.

[edit] Vandalism

Just letting you guys know i reverted because of vandelism, (A picture of a penis was showing up on the album page) 143.60.108.197 04:03, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Request: Add a Producer Column

Could someone add a producer column to the track listings for the album? Sakamura

[edit] 3 articles

Why are there three articles for the same upcoming album? -- eo 20:19, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nelly Furtado

On the main article "Justin Timberlake", it says Nelly Furtado will be featured on a track, but she does not appear in any songs on the tracklist. Somebody care to explain? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.27.91.53 (talk • contribs)

  1. Either someone was messing around and inserting false information or;
  2. Nelly Furtado was originally on a track that did not make the final album track listing.

[edit] UK / US Tracklistings

How come the tracklistings are so different? Is there really only four songs common to both releases? That seems very strange (and means I'll have to get both!)

How come the songs Pose and Take Away Your Love aren't on here. I thought these songs we're on Justin's FutureSex/LoveSounds?

I'm holding the UK edition in my hand right now and it's exactly the same as the US.

Gotcha, looks like that info's gone from the article so I guess it was "wikipedia speculation" with no basis in fact. Hooray!

[edit] Charts

They are not really cited. The link for proving #1 in Korea is for Christina Aguilera's Back To Basics. Can someone fix? SKS2K6 04:51, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Somebody is vandalizing his U.S. Billboard chart run/sales! Can someone fix it, please? Also his main page...Gihad 01:44, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Platinum Holland

Someone certificed Justin album in Holland platinum. Plus someone said that there are over 54,000 copies sold. That is impossible. First of all: a platinum record in Holland is 80,000 copies sold plus there is no source on the internet that give exact sales figures of Holland. Someone need to fix that.

[edit] FutureSex/LoveSound as a Single?

I live in Central Ohio, and on two seperate raido stations I have heard the song "FutureSex/LoveSound" being played. Can someone either explain this to me, make it a section in the main article, or put "FutureSex/LoveSound" on the 'Singles' list if they have any knowledge or explaination of this, whatsoever?

Thanks Jgrizzy89 18:33, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Summer Love

Justin's next single will be summer love. The radios are already playing it and it has more than 100 spind this week see link http://w2.mediabase.com/mmrweb/AllAccess/Charts.asp?format=h1R&showtopn=500&cutoff=1


[edit] Lovestoned

Is a single?


[edit] Creditations

Although it is likely that this discussion will be obsolete when RIAA get their act together, regardless on whether it has sold 3 million, this does NOT mean it has been credited by RIAA. So for all those who keep changing it ... STOP. To date it is 2x Platinum, and until RIAA do credit it for the 3rd million it has sold - leave as is. 60.234.242.196 03:48, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

As per the JT Discography page discussion. RIAA are pretty much useless at updating their certifications, so the Billboard top200 chart is a more credible ref than their own site for certifications. I apologise to all, who have edited in good faith. 60.234.242.196 18:58, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chop Me Up

Is this a single or not? Genevieve-Tamerlaine (talk)

was wondering the same thing; the single page was very recently changed to redirect here despite having chart numbers. Impasse 04:59, 26 February 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Impasse (talk • contribs)

[edit] Unsourced content(s)

FutureSex/LoveSounds became the biggest pre-order album in iTunes history and broke the all-time record for one week sales of a digital album with sales of 66,698, according to Nielsen SoundScan; the previous record was held by English rock band Coldplay. --Efe (talk) 09:17, 26 May 2008 (UTC) Just months before its release, this plan was scrapped in favor of a single-disc release and several of the songs meant to be released were put back into the archives. --Efe (talk) 10:34, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] GA Review

This review is transcluded from Talk:FutureSex/LoveSounds/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review. GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.

  1. Is it reasonably well written?
    A. Prose quality:
    The lead sorta summarizes the article, but not entirely and it would be best to expand it a little more.
I think its complete?Any more topic to touch on the lead? --Efe (talk) 10:30, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
Yup, it summarizes the article. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 23:48, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
  1. B. MoS compliance:
  2. Is it factually accurate and verifiable?
    A. References to sources:
    B. Citation of reliable sources where necessary:
    In the Background section, a source is needed for the Justified hits.
I change the first sentence to "Timberlake released his debut album, Justified, in 2002, and spawned the US top five hit "Rock Your Body"." I thin it does not need source. Its factual and is not contentious. Senorita was not a hit, sorry, so I removed it.
Yeah, I was having a hard time with "Señorita" being a major hit, but its fine now. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 23:48, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
A source is needed for both these sentences ---> "Since Justified, Timberlake wanted to be recognized as an R&B artist because it is the kind of music he grew listening to" and "When his debut album was released, reviews were positive about it, however, most of them were under the pop album category", in the Music and lyrics section.
The source of these lines are supported by the citation of this line: "Timberlake reflects, "OK, well I'm not an R&B artist, I'm a pop artist, so I'm just going to go wherever I want to go."[9]" --Efe (talk) 10:38, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
Oh, thanks for catching me on that, I was wondering if not that was the source to them. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 23:48, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
A source is needed for the release date of the album.
Sourced. --Efe (talk) 10:38, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
Cool. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 23:48, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
Is there a source for the Beyoncé and 50 Cent collaborating in the deluxe version of the album?
The tracklisting itself is the source. --Efe (talk) 10:38, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
Awesome. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 23:48, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
It would be best to add the DVD as source to the last paragraph from the Release and reception section.
Which exactly? --Efe (talk) 10:38, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
See Triple H#cite note-KOK-53 as an example. --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 23:48, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
If this is also part of the DVD ---> "Guests were American artists Three 6 Mafia, T.I., Snoop Dogg, and the album's producers will.i.am and Timbaland", it would be best to add it as a source. If not, a source is needed for that.
  1. C. No original research:
  2. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. Major aspects:
    B. Focused:
  3. Is it neutral?
    Fair representation without bias:
  4. Is it stable?
    No edit wars, etc:
  5. Does it contain images to illustrate the topic?
    A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:
    B. Images are provided where possible and appropriate, with suitable captions:
  6. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:
    If the statements above can be answered, I will pass the article. Good luck with improving this article! Also, contact me if the above statements are answered.
