Justin Timberlake 20/20 Experience [VIDEO]: Album Sells the Most Since Taylor Swift's 'Red' with almost $1 MILLION Copies Sold in First Week

Justin Timberlake used 20/20 vision to predict album sales. The former N’Syncer’s new album, “The 20/20 Experience” debuted at No.1 on the Billboard charts and sold a whopping 968,000 copies in its debut week, the most since Taylor Swift's “Red” did 1.2 million last October, according to Rolling Stone.

Timberlakes third solo album makes him the sixth artist in the Billboard 200's 57-year history to notch multiple No. 1 albums both with a group and as a soloist, according to Billboard.

His comeback since the 2006 Grammy Award nominated “FutureSex/LoveSounds” was done strategically according to RCA Records President Tom Carson. Carson told the Washington Post:

“Mr. Timberlake, 31, was strategic about promoting his comeback effort: He performed at the Grammy Awards, hosted and hit the stage at “Saturday Night Live” and spent an entire week on “Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.” The singer also partnered with Target for the album’s deluxe edition, and “20/20” streamed on iTunes a week before it was released.”

The sales of the "20/20 Experience" has influenced the sales of Timberlakes other solo albums, according to Nielsen Co. Last year, “FutureSex/LoveSounds” and 2002’s “Justified” sold 39,000 and 21,000 copies each, but this year they’ve already sold 29,000 and 17,000, respectively.

"20/20 Experience" sales are predicted to continue to rise as Timberlake will pair up with Jay-Z for the "Legends of the Summer" tour. The "Suit and Tie" artists's tour kicks off in Toronto this July.
