One is the magic number for Justin Timberlake this year.
Splitting up his album The 20/20 Experience into two parts has proven to be a genius career move. The 20/20 Experience, 2 of 2 debuted No. 1 on the Billboard album chart with 350,000 sold in its first week, according to Nielsen SoundScan. He's the only artist this year who has sold more than 300,000 copies in a week for two different albums. That makes him the best-selling artist of the year with 2.7 million copies of 20/20 sold in the U.S. Timberlake's 20/20 knocks Drake's Nothing Was the Same to No. 2, which sold 148,000 copies, a 78 percent drop from the previous week.
With 129,000 sales in its first week, singer Lorde rules the No. 3 spot with her debut album, Pure Heroine. Luke Bryan's Crash My Party moves up two spots from No. 6 to No. 4 with 32,000 sales, an 11 percent drop from the previous week. Altogether, Bryan's album has sold more than one million copies, making it only the seventh album to hit the 1M mark this year. Country singer Tyler Farr's debut album, Redneck Crazy, rounds out the top five with 29,000 in sales its first week. Three-sister band Haim pulled in 26,000 sales (85 percent of those were downloads) with their debut album, Days Are Gone.
