Last week Justin Timberlake set the interwebs into a frenzy with the release of his latest single “Suit & Tie,” and according to MTV, apparently JT has had the same effect on radio airwaves. In addition the single has accumulated over 310,000 digital sales in its first week, surpassing Timberlake’s previous best with ”SexyBack,” which moved 250,000 copies back in 2006, and the new single has been rumored to have secured the largest airplay debut in history. The song also reached #1 on iTunes singles charts in 31 countries, including the U.S., England, Canada, Sweden, France and Brazil. If this is a sign of things to come, it’ll be interesting to see how well JT’s upcoming album The 20/20 Experience will do with its release later this year. If you still haven’t purchased his latest single, which also features Jay-Z, be sure to do so by clicking here.
