Justin Timberlake misses out on one million debut in U.S. album chart
Written by . Published: March 27 2013
Justin Timberlake has missed out on landing a million-selling comeback at the top of the U.S. album charts - by just 32,000 copies.
The pop superstar's The 20/20 Experience has shot to top of the Billboard 200 chart with 968,000 first-week sales.
The album is Timberlake's second U.S. number one - and it's his
best solo sales week yet. His former group 'N Sync's No Strings
Attached debuted at the top of the countdown with 2.42 million
sales in April, 2000.
The singer's new release also topped the charts in Britain on
Sunday (24Mar13), knocking fellow comeback king David Bowie's The
Next Day off the number one spot.
