  1. Justified

    Justified is the debut studio album by American recording artist Justin Timberlake, released on November 4, 2002, by Jive Records and Zomba Records. During the hiatus of his group 'N Sync, Timberlake looked to adopt a mature image as an R&B artist. Much of the album was produced by The Neptunes, with additional collaborators including Brian McKnight, Scott Storch, Timbaland and The Underdogs. The album features guest appearances by Janet Jackson and rap duo Clipse. Five singles were released from the album; "Like I Love You" peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100, while three follow-up singles "Cry Me a River", Rock Your Body, and Señorita peaked at numbers 3, 5, and 27, respectively. "Like I Love You", "Cry Me a River" and "Rock Your Body" peaked at number two in the UK and in the top ten in Australia, Ireland, Netherlands and Belgium. Upon its release, Justified received generally favorable reviews from music critics, who complimented the progression from his material with 'N Sync, while some criticized the lyrical content. The album debuted at number two on the U.S. Billboard 200, with first-week sales of 439,000 copies. It has been certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America, for shipments of one million copies. As of 2011, it has sold over 7 million copies worldwide.

  3. Friederike Otto:

    I think it's absolutely justified to say,' We need, finally, some real commitment to addressing loss and damage from climate change, a lot of what leads to disaster is related to existing vulnerabilities and not to human-caused climate change. But of course, the Global North plays a very large role in that as well, because a lot of these vulnerabilities are from colonialism and so on. So there is a... very huge responsibility for the Global North to finally do something real and not just talk.

  5. Jill Pantozzi:

    There were nowhere near this many of Black Widow or Gamora in the last few years [as opposed to Rey figures], i think a lot of fans had high expectations for what would come out of 'Force Awakens' considering Rey is the lead and that's entirely justified.
