Justin Timberlake returned with a new album on Friday. It was his first album in about six years. Well according to reports it isn’t a victorious return as far as some streaming numbers. First the confounding part, it has been a sales hit on ITunes. Who in the name of bubble gum is still buying music on ITunes? For the price of the album you could subscribe to a music streaming service for an entire month. That is absolutely perplexing to me. Now to the embarrassing part:
“Of the 200 most-streamed songs on Spotify on Friday (March 15) in the United States alone, not one of them comes from the album. Not even the lead single, “Selfish,” or “Drown,” the only other track shared before the set dropped, appear on the ranking.” On Pandora he is doing a little better, Selfish is currently number 5 but that’s the only song that shows up! Has his time passed? Have you listened to the album on Pandora? If so, what did you think?
