Timberlake vs. Bieber: 1-2-3 Punch #1s

[Live Your Life]

Earlier this year, Justin Bieber became the first male artist to score three #1 hits from one album on the Hot 100 since Justin Timberlake did it 10 years ago. Which 1-2-3 punch hit the hardest?

[Daryl the Beryl]

JT > JB any day.

I really like My Love therefore Timberlake. Sexyback and Love Yourself are okay, the others I could do without.

[.indulgecountry]

Justin Bieber, honestly.

[Linnethia Monique]

Love Yourself being Justin Beiber in the role of Ed Sheeran written and directed by Ed Sheeran messed up that flow for me. Timberlake for me because each one of those songs have immaculate production.

[#brayden]

I like all six songs, but I prefer JT's three to JB's.

[allow that]

Justin Bieber actually.

I'd rank it like this.

01. "Sorry"

02. "My Love" (though it's dated horribly for me, I loved it at the time)
03. "What Do You Mean?"

04. "What Goes Around..."

The other two I could really do without altogether.

[when the pawn...]

1 Sorry
2 Sexyback
3 What Do You Mean
4 My Love
5 Love Yourself
6 What Goes Around Comes Around

I guess Bieber...

[Enigma.]

LY is so much worse than other 5 so must say JT. I really adore FS/LS

[H.]

JT

[Agent Yoncé]

I suppose Timberlake. 'WGA...' always annoyed me, though.

[nick64]

Timberlake

I like/love all three of Bieber's hits too, but "SexyBack", "My Love", and "What Goes Around..." are three of my favorite hits of the last decade.

Timberlake, he was a key highlight of 2006-2007's music with those 3 singles and its parent album.
Meanwhile, all 3 of Bieber's songs have burned entirely on me, those 3 JT tracks are everlasting.

[LBTrocks]

Timberlake for sure.

[Mr. Thonk Eyes]

SexyBack < What Do You Mean
My Love > Sorry
What Goes Around Comes Around > Love Yourself

Therefore gotta give this one to Timberlake even though I do love the Bieber ones too (well, except "Love Yourself", I'm pretty burned on it from that long ass chart run its had on pop radio that STILL hasn't finished, I barely like the song at the moment tbh).

[Rocky]

1. "My Love"
2. "What Goes Around..."
3. "What Do You Mean?"
4. "Sorry"

5. "Sexyback"
6. "Love Yourself"

JT I guess, but I like all six singles.

[godjanny]

Bieber's feel bigger as I didn't follow pop music at the time of Timblerlake's and I don't even know What Goes Around... Comes Around. Shocking, I bet.

[missgenericnickname]

2 songs I don't like vs 1 song I don't like. I'll go with JT on this

[ILLUSION]

JT. Not a fan of LY so that had a major impact for me.

[Glove Slap]

One of these includes a boring Ed Sheeran ballad. That one loses.

[trustypepper]

1. My Love
2. What Goes Around
3. Sorry
4. Sexyback
5. Love Yourself
6. What Do You Mean

[musiciscool]

Justin Timberlake for sure. His three hits last decade are WAY better than Bieber's, IMO.

[bogglethemind]

Justin Timberlake.

[Deleted]

Bieber is more talented and successful, but Justin's producers put in work here.

[divasummer]

This is really hard but I picked JT because "SexyBack" is my favorite song from both artists.

1. "Sexyback"- JT

2."Love Yourself"- JB
3. "What Goes Around Comes Back Around- JT
4. "Sorry"- JB
5. "My Love"- JT
6. "What Do You Mean"- JB

[MusicTalker]

if I put this 6 songs in order of preference

Sorry (6) > My Love (5) > What Do You Mean? (4) > SexyBack (3) > What Goes Around...Comes Around (2) > Love Yourself (1)

Bieber: 1 + 4 + 6 = 11
Timberlake: 2 + 3 + 5 = 10

Close but Bieber wins.

[nightshade]

I would have done WAUN WDYM and Sorry tbh & left out LY.

JT wins because of the inclusion of LY.

[MTSChart21]

1. Justin Bieber - "Sorry" (6)
2. Justin Bieber - "What Do You Mean" (5)
3. Justin Timberlake - "My Love" (4)
4. Justin Timberlake - "What Goes Around Comes Around" (3)
5. Justin Bieber - "Love Yourself" (2)
6. Justin Timberlake - "SexyBack" (1)

Justin Bieber: 6 + 5 + 2 = 13
Justin Timberlake: 4 + 3 + 1 = 8

[ant]

I can't believe I'm saying this, but Bieber.
