November 26, 2006 - Justin Timberlake's sophomore album 'FutureSex/LoveSounds' is shaping up to be a hit generating machine comparable to Mariah Carey's 'The Emancipation Of Mimi'. The former *NSYNC star dominated the Mediabase Top 40 format charts with 'SexyBack', and the album's second single 'My Love' just edged Hinder's 'Lips of an Angel' to capture his second straight #1. Timberlake's ex 'Mickey Mouse Club' co-star Christina Aguilera hasn't enjoyed the same fate with her period piece, 'Back To Basics', which had 'Ain't No Other Man' peak at #6 and her current single, 'Hurt', starting to stall out at #14. Meanwhile, Jessica Simpson's 'A Public Affair' is crashing hard, with her current single 'I Belong To Me' in a nosedive, getting fewer spins in the past week than Kevin Federline's 'Privilege'.
