Pop star Justin Timberlake's "Until The End Of Time" rockets 41-28 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week, making him the first solo male artist this decade to spawn six top 40 hits from the same album. "FutureSex/LoveSounds" was released in September 2006 via Jive Records. According to Billboard, the last solo male artist to make such an accomplishment was Michael Jackson, whose album "Dangerous" produced seven top hits from 1991-93. Shania Twain's "Come On Over," which had six top 40 Hot 100 hits from 1997-99, was the last album overall to reach the same heights. "There are very few artists in the industry that can cover all the bases the way Justin does," says Jive/Zomba executive VP of promotion Joe Riccitelli. "If you look at the songs from 'FutureSex' that have topped the chart, you go from 'Summer Love,' which is pure pop-driven, to 'Sexyback,' which was groundbreaking from a production standpoint." A new version of "Until the End of Time," which features Beyonce in a duet with Timberlake, was released to radio on Sept. 27 and helped give the track a jump in the last week.
