Justin Timberlake is making a comeback with his highly anticipated forthcoming album, and he recently dropped the first single, 'Selfish.' While the song has been a success, its debut on the Billboard charts may not have been as impressive as some fans were hoping for, and the pop star himself might agree.
Debuting at No. 19 on the Hot 100, 'Selfish' marks Timberlake's highest-charting hit in over half a decade. While this would be a career highlight for many artists, it falls short of his previous successes. In 2018, when Timberlake was promoting his album 'Man of the Woods,' both 'Filthy' and 'Say Something' (featuring Chris Stapleton) debuted at No. 9 on the Hot 100. Achieving two top 10 hits was not uncommon for Timberlake, but now it seems he's struggling to replicate that level of success.
