Justin Timberlake '20/20 Experience' Album Tops Billboard 2013 Year-End Chart, First Male Solo Artist Since 2005
Justin Timberlake's 2013 album The 20/20 Experience topped Billboard's year-end 200 Albums Chart, making him the first male solo artist to dominate the respective list in eight years.
The singer racked up seven Grammy nominations last week and now his latest LP has officially topped Billboard's list. The last artist to get the honor was 50 Cent and his album The Massacre back in 2005.
The 20/20 Experience, Timberlake's first album since 2006, includes the hit singles Mirrors and Suit and Tie. The musician also released a second installment of material - The 20/20 Experience: Part 2 -- in September. He then went on the Legends of the Summer stadium tour with Jay Z to promote his new music.
