The man behind this song, along with many of Timberlake’s other hits, is producer Timberland. Looking back on this feud, Timberlake really took things a step too far with this, but this song makes it all worth it.
As if Timberlake wasn’t petty enough, in the music video for “Cry Me A River,” he films himself having sex with another woman in his ex-girlfriend’s house. The song is a diss/breakup record aimed at Spears, in which Timberlake trashes Spears. After leaving N*S*Y*N*C, Timberlake started off his solo career with the legendary album “Justified.” “Cry Me A River” was the biggest hit from the album, peaking at number three on the Billboard Hot 100. The #FreeBritney movement has been picking up a lot of traction online, and the singer’s story is not complete without mentioning Justin Timberlake and this song. Team Britney or JT? 50 Cent got shot how many times? We’ve got a lot to get into this week, so without further adieu, let’s take a look at the top five from Feb. Good news for this week, “I’m Too Sexy” had faded into obscurity by 2003, the year we’ll be looking at this week. Last week, we took a deep dive into 1993 at a pretty subpar top five. That’s right, it’s time for another edition of everyone’s least favorite installment, “Play The Hits!” The reviews have been pouring in! They’ve all been bad.
