Only a week after dropping his first single in seven years, Justin Timberlake’s “Suit and Tie” has already made history.
Billboard announced that JT’s newest single was the highest ever debut by a male artist on the Top Pop Songs chart! The charts have been around for two decades, so this is really impressive!
The song debuted at number 14 and has been only gaining more attention and airplay. Sharon Dastur, the program director of the Pop Song panelist WHTZ New York put it perfectly when she said, “Over the years, we’ve come to expect the unexpected with Justin’s music, which I think is fantastic,” and then added, “With its retro-soulful vibe, “‘Suit & Tie’ doesn’t sound like anything else out in pop music right now.”
Congrats, Justin!
