Justin Timberlake Makes Chart Toppping Collabs Look Easy
February 12, 2009
Billboard.com wrote a little chart analysis on Justin’s appearances on the Hot 100 since he stopped dropping singles from his second solo LP FutureSex/LoveSounds. Just another little reason why Justin’s so awesome:
‘GONE’ AT LAST: Justin Timberlake earns his 10th top 10 hit on the Hot 100, out of 16 chart entries under his own name. His latest top 10 hit is “Dead and Gone” (Grand Hustle), credited to T.I. featuring Justin Timberlake. The single climbs 11-9 in its 10th chart week.
“Dead and Gone” is the third consecutive top 10 hit for Timberlake since September 2007. All three place Timberlake in the “featured” position to three different lead artists. This hat trick of top 10 hits includes “Ayo Technology” by 50 Cent featuring Justin Timberlake and Timbaland (No. 5 in September 2007) and “4 Minutes” by Madonna featuring Justin Timberlake (No. 3 in April 2008).
Timberlake was last in the top 10 as a lead artist in June 2007, when his “Summer Love” surfed to No. 6.
