FutureSex/LoveSounds is Justin Timberlake’s second solo studio album. Timberlake embarked on the FutureSex/LoveShow tour in support of the album in January of 2007.

Release and Reception

FutureSex/LoveSounds was released in the United States on September 12, 2006. The album debuted at number one in the United States with a first week sales over 684,000 in the United States. This was Timberlake’s first time at number one as a solo artist after being number two with Justified. But Timberlake’s popularity extends beyond the United States. On September 17, the album debuted at number one in Australia, going gold and shipping more than 35,000 units. It has since been certified double Platinum in Australia with sales of over 140,000. It also went in at number one on the same day in the United Kingdom with 90,000 copies sold.FutureSex/LoveSounds becomes the biggest pre-order album in iTunes history and breaks the all time record for one week sales of a digital album with sales of 66,698, according to SoundScan. The previous record was held by Coldplay. The success of the album is evident from its 6.1 million unit sales worldwide. Timberlake embarked on the FutureSex/LoveShow tour in January of 2007. The album has yielded three number one singles.

The Japan and UK bonus track "Pose" (featuring Snoop Dogg and produced by will.i.am) is also included as an exclusive bonus track with Best Buy's initial retail shipments of the album.

Also, "Boutique In Heaven" was another bonus track, being an iTunes exclusive when you pre-ordered FutureSex/LoveSounds.

The vinyl and online music store versions of the album differ from the CD in retail stores. On the CD version, "Sexy Ladies" and "Let Me Talk to You Prelude" are featured on one track, yet on the vinyl version, "Sexy Ladies" is a stand-alone track and "Let Me Talk to You" is appended to the beginning of "My Love"'s track index, giving "Sexy Ladies" a length of 3:58 and "Let Me Talk to You Prelude/My Love" a length of 6:10. Likewise, "Set the Mood Prelude" is indexed with "Summer Love" on the CD version, while it is indexed with "Until the End of Time" on vinyl and online versions; "Summer Love" then becomes 4:13 while "Set the Mood Prelude/Until the End Of Time" is 7:33.

The track "FutureSex/LoveSound" has a heavy background beat which somewhat resembles Queen's Another One Bites the Dust.
