In 2002, his debut solo album, "Justified," reached the No. 2 spot on the Billboard 200 and produced four top 40 hits on the Billboard Hot 100. Among them were his initial two top 10 successes: “Like I Love You” (No. 11), “Cry Me a River” (No. 2), “Rock Your Body” (No. 5), and “Senorita” (No. 27).


Timberlake's successful debut paved the way for a remarkable second album, FutureSex/LoveSounds, released in 2006 to widespread praise. The album debuted at the top of the Billboard 200, and three of its singles – "SexyBack," "My Love" (featuring T.I.), and "What Goes Around... Comes Around" – replicated this chart-topping success on the Hot 100.


Despite a six-year gap before his next solo album, Timberlake stayed musically engaged during that time by making featured contributions on a series of hits. He collaborated with various artists including 50 Cent on "Ayo Technology," Madonna on "4 Minutes," T.I. on "Dead and Gone," and Ciara on "Love Sex Magic." The unmistakable Timberlake touch was apparent, as all four songs achieved success by reaching the top 10 of the Hot 100 chart.

Upon his comeback, the former boy band member turned solo sensation extended his streak of top 10 hits with the songs "Mirrors" and "Suit & Tie" featuring Jay-Z from The 20/20 Experience album in 2013. He secured another Hot 100 chart-topper in 2016 with the soundtrack single "Can't Stop the Feeling!" from Trolls. Continuing his success, the tracks "Filthy" and "Say Something" featuring Chris Stapleton from the Man of the Woods album became hits in 2018.


As the superstar celebrates his 43rd birthday on Wednesday, January 31, and gears up for the release of his upcoming album, "Everything I Thought It Was," Billboard takes a look back at the Grammy winner's most successful solo tracks on the Hot 100. Demonstrating his musical versatility and renowned status as a sought-after collaborator, the compilation features joint efforts with various top talents, including rap icons Jay-Z and T.I., as well as pop legends Madonna and Michael Jackson .

The ranking of Justin Timberlake's most significant Billboard Hot 100 hits is determined by their weekly performance on the Hot 100 chart up to February 3, 2024. The songs are placed in order using an inverse point system, where higher positions, especially weeks at No. 1, carry greater value, while lower positions receive fewer points. To accommodate changes in chart methodology over time and varying chart turnover rates in different eras, a weighted system is applied.
