AceShowbiz - Everybody who has been following Justin Timberlake's life must have known his early popularity as a member of NSYNC. The boy band became a worldwide sensation in mid-1990s, with their biggest hits including "It's Gonna Be Me", "Bye Bye Bye", "Girlfriend" and "This I Promise You". Selling more than 70 million records worldwide, they became the fifth-best selling boy band in history.
With the general decline in the popularity of boy bands and Justin's interest in starting solo career, NSYNC disbanded in 2002. He went on to debut solo single "Like I Love You" at the 2002 MTV VMAs, while his debut solo album "Justified" was released in November that year. Having landed on music charts with songs like "Cry Me a River", "Rock Your Body" and "SexyBack", he has headlined four world tours as a solo artist.
