Justin Timberlake's new album, The 20/20 Experience, hits stores on March 19. His previous album, FutureSex/LoveSounds, was released on Sept. 12, 2006, six years, six months, and seven days (just barely missed the number of the beast) before The 20/20 Experience.
In those six and a half years, a lot has changed for Timberlake. He's become a legitimate movie star, gotten married and tried to breathe new life into MySpace. A lot has changed in the pop music landscape as well. A new crop of artists who hadn't released any music in 2006 are dominating the charts in 2013. The biggest change of all may be that, unlike in 2006, Timberlake is no longer the world's most famous Justin.
