  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.

Examples of justified in a Sentence

  1. 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.

    The physicist cannot simply surrender to the philosopher the critical contemplation of the theoretical foundations for he himself knows best and feels most surely where the shoe pinches.... he must try to make clear in his own mind just how far the concepts which he uses are justified... The whole of science is nothing more than a refinement of everyday thinking.
