Justin Timberlake’s ‘Everything I Thought It Was’ Voted Best New Music

Justin Timberlake‘s latest album, Everything I Thought It Was, has topped this week’s new music poll.

Music fans voted in a poll published Friday (March 15) on Billboard, choosing the 42-year-old pop star and actor’s as their favorite new music release of the past week.

Everything I Thought It Was brought in 61% of the vote, beating out new music by Kacey Musgraves (Deeper Well), Cardi B (“Enough (Miami)”), Zayn (“What I Am”), Willow (“Symptom of Life”), PARTYNEXTDOOR (“Real Woman”), and others.

Timberlake’s Everything I Thought It Was arrived six years after his 2018 album, Man of the Woods. The new set, his sixth, features previously released singles “Drown” and “Selfish,” which debuted at No. 19 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, earning the superstar his highest debut in six years on the tally. The lead single from the project also marked his 29th top 40 hit as a soloist.

Everything I Thought It Was also includes a long-awaited reunion from *NSYNC, called “Paradise,” and the full band performed the track onstage at Timberlake’s one-night-only concert at Los Angeles’ Wiltern on March 13.

In support of his new LP, Timberlake is set to embark on a headlining North American arena tour. The trek launches April 29 at Rogers Arena in Vancouver and will visit major cities such as Las Vegas (May 10-11), New York (Jun. 25-26) and Atlanta (Nov. 16), before concluding Nov. 20 at KFC Yum Center in Louisville.

Trailing behind Everything I Thought It Was on the poll is Musgraves’ Deeper Well, which brought in 18% of the vote.
