JT also beats the first week of his sophomore solo effort, FutureSex/Love Sounds, which debuted with 684k six and a half years ago. Of course, as part of NSYNC, Timberlake still holds the record for the two biggest-ever first-week debuts. NSYNC's No Strings Attached opened with 2.4m in 2000 and Celebrity with 1.9m in 2001.
How high can Justin go? Stay tuned. Here are this week's key debuts:
Justin Timberlake (RCA) 750-800k
Kacey Musgraves (Mercury Nashville) 35-40k
Les Miserables (Republic) 24-27k ** (Deluxe combined with the previously released "Highlights" version.)
