All indications suggest that when the numbers become official tomorrow morning, Justin Timberlake will be in the no. 1 in the charts with their single “is not a bad thing," which moves up from no. 2 spot. The arrival of the song in the first place marks the seventh time the performer has reached the top, breaking a tie he had with Bruno Mars mostly not. 1 for a male soloist.

Timberlake has taken a "comeback" of sorts over the past year as Mars had dragged five six songs from May 2013. Marte had established the brand in April 2013, "When I Was Your Man" before “Mirrors” Timberlake evened the score. “Not a bad thing," Timberlake leaves soled record position.

“Mirrors “was something of a reintroduction in the first place for Timberlake, who had previously gone over five years without no. 1 tennis. The artist got his first solo no. 1 with "Rock Your Body" in 2003 , then four of the tracks off FutureSex / LoveSounds hit the peak of popularity between 2006 - '07 : " SexyBack ", " My Love" , "What Goes Around Around ... Comes " and " Summer Love " . " SexyBack “was the longest race in the no. 1 among tennis Timberlake, lasting five weeks.

Timberlake is still a long way from the top of the list of solo however, as a number of female performers have mastered the table in recent years. Timberlake is now tied with Lady Gaga, while P! Nk has nine appearances, and Katy Perry and Rihanna both have 11 no. 1 results. Timberlake would be a little closer if you count his two 'N Sync anyone. 1st.

Timberlake should try to throw together a success eighth single to play it safe before they can return to study Mars.

Michael Jackson Convinced Justin Timberlake To Go Solo

Justin Timberlake did not even think about going solo until he spoke with Michael Jackson.

The 33-year- old singer was part of the boy band 'N Sync for seven years before launching his first independent album Justified in 2002.

Justin Michael wrote a song for years, but 'N Sync uses the track in place, which led to an interesting conversation with the King of Pop musician’s career changed forever.

"It was one of those songs where it felt a little more personal for me because I had written for the greatest artist of all time,” Justin recalled in an upcoming episode of Oprah's Master Class.

"I think Michael heard it, and phoned me and said he wanted to cut the record, but he wanted it to be a duet between him and I said, 'Well, you're out, we’ve already cut the song as a ' N Sync record ...

we could do, like, a ' N Sync with Michael Jackson or Michael Jackson with 'N Sync? And he was very absolute about the fact that he wanted it to be a duet between him and me "

The star says he never really entertained thoughts of becoming a solo artist before talking with Michael.

“I think it's the first idea I've managed to do something on my own, because it was the first time I really felt the confidence to do it," said Justin.

The '20 / 20 Experience singer went on to sell millions of records worldwide as a solo artist.
