Justin Timberlake's 2006 song "SexyBack" became his first solo Billboard Hot 100 No. 1.
The track was released as the lead single from Timberlake's second studio album, FutureSex/LoveSounds. Timberlake produced it with Timbaland and Nate Hills, and the recording is known for its distorted electronic textures, clipped vocal delivery, and dance-oriented rhythm.
"SexyBack" reached the summit in September 2006 and spent seven weeks at No. 1. Timberlake had already been a member of *NSYNC, but this chart achievement belonged to his solo career. Later hits such as "My Love" and "What Goes Around... Comes Around" also performed strongly, which can make the first solo chart-topper easy to misremember.
