IB Timberlake update

20/20 VISIONARIES:Justin Timberlake's return to music after seven years is going better than even Peter Edge and Tom Corson could've anticipated, with "Suit & Tie," which blew up following Timberlake's Grammy performance, poised to enter the Top 10 at Pop next week (it's currently #11) under the guidance of Joe Riccitelli. The track is #5 at iTunes as of this writing, passing 1.1 million in online sales. The setup for The 20/20 Experience (March 19) continues with JT both hosting and performing on SNL March 9, immediately followed by five nights on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, adding weight to RCA's first-week forecast of 500k. Initial preorders shot the album to #1 at iTunes; it's still Top 15. All this will factor in significantly when tickets go on sale for Live Nation's Jay-Z/JT stadium tour. (3/4p)
