MUMBAI: Breaking all records, Justin Timberlake’s new single ‘Suit & Tie’ featuring Jay Z hits No. 1 on iTunes globally within 24 hours of its launch, clearly establishing him as a most wanted artist amongst fans all over. His comeback after six years has been a much awaited one. 

In India too, the song has rocketed to an extremely impressive start and is trending across digital platforms. Predictably, ‘Suit’ is also selling swiftly and could earn Timberlake his best sales week ever for a digital song.

Timberlake tweeted, “Heard we're #1 on iTunes! Wow... Speechless. Thank you, thank you, thank you! So humbled by all of this. This day has been TOO crazy. I just have to say it one more time to all of you guys and gals... THANK YOU!!”

Timberlake last appeared as a lead artist on the Hot 100 with a radio-promoted single five years ago with ‘Until the End of Time’, with Beyonce, one of six top 20 entries from his 2006 album ‘FutureSex/LoveSounds’. The set, which has sold 4.4 million copies in the US, according to Nielsen SoundScan, generated the Hot 100 No. 1s ‘SexyBack’, ‘My Love’, featuring T.I., and ‘What Goes Around...Comes Around’.
