Test your knowledge of Justin Timberlake's biggest hits, deep cuts and iconic moments.
Scores are valid for 15 days.
His solo hits give themselves away through the production: the Neptunes' handclaps on 'Like I Love You', Timbaland's beatbox on 'My Love'. Name the track before the falsetto even arrives.
The facts behind the hits are the tiebreakers: which producer built which single, why 'SexyBack' drops the falsetto, and how a Trolls soundtrack song became one of his biggest number ones.
The catalog climbs in tiers. Start with the singles everyone knows, then split the Neptunes funk from the Timbaland records, tackle the guest turns off his own albums, and see which era stops you.
If you owned a radio in the 2000s, these are your points: 'SexyBack', 'Cry Me a River', 'Rock Your Body', 'Mirrors' and 'Can't Stop the Feeling!'. Most players name them from the opening bars, so they are the free points at the top of any Justin Timberlake quiz.
His solo run is two production camps trading off, and that is the real test. 'Like I Love You' and 'Senorita' carry the Neptunes' clipped guitar and handclaps, while 'My Love', 'LoveStoned' and 'What Goes Around... Comes Around' ride Timbaland's beatbox and stutter. Two hits, one voice, two very different beats.
The trickiest questions leave his own albums. Timberlake sings the hook on Jay-Z's 'Holy Grail', trades verses with Madonna on '4 Minutes' and with T.I. on 'Dead and Gone', and duets with a posthumous Michael Jackson on 'Love Never Felt So Good'. No signature beat to lean on, just the falsetto.
Past the singles, the diehards separate on album tracks: the layered 'Pusher Love Girl' and 'Tunnel Vision' from The 20/20 Experience, the Chris Stapleton duet 'Say Something' and the stripped 'Filthy' from Man of the Woods. Catch these from a short clip and no producer twist on the Justin Timberlake quiz will shake you.
Expect the singles everyone knows, 'SexyBack', 'Cry Me a River', 'Mirrors', 'Rock Your Body' and 'Can't Stop the Feeling!', plus producer-tell deep cuts like 'LoveStoned' and 'Suit & Tie' that separate the superfans.
The hit singles are easy points. The trap is that his solo run splits between Neptunes funk and Timbaland's stutter, so two songs from the same voice can sound like different artists until the falsetto comes in. That is a good round to guess the song with friends in a multiplayer music quiz.
Often, yes. Timbaland's beatbox and the Neptunes' clipped funk are as recognizable as his vocals, so on 'My Love' or 'Like I Love You' the production gives the answer away before the chorus lands.
