Justin Timberlake's 'Selfish' topped this week's new music poll.
Music fans voted in a poll published on Friday (January 26). Advertising signpicking the 42-year-old pop star and actor's first solo release in more than five years as their favorite new music release of the past week.
“Selfish” garnered nearly 77% of the vote, beating out new music from Megan Thee Stallion (“Hiss”), Lil Nas X (“Where Do We Go Now?”), Ice Spice (“Think U the S— ( Fart)”), Morgan Wallen (“Spin You Around (1/24)”) and others.
JT debuted the silky R&B track live at his free concert in Memphis on Jan. 19, pulling the curtain on the first track from his upcoming sixth solo album, Everything I thought it was. “Selfish” is the first taste of the follow-up to his 2018 solo album, Man of the Woodswhich debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. EITIW is expected to be released on March 15.
“So if I get jealous, I can't help it/ I want every bit of you, I guess I'm selfish,” Timberlake sings in his signature falsetto on the smoothing chorus. “It's bad for my psyche, but I can't fight it/ When you're out looking like you/ But you can't hide it, no,” he adds.
'Selfish' was co-written with Louis Bell (Taylor Swift), Cirkut (Maroon 5), Theron Thomas and Amy Allen.
“I worked for a long time on this album and ended up with 100 songs,” JT said during a recent interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1. “So narrowing it down to 18 was something, and then, yes, I am very excited about this album. I think every artist probably says that, but it's my best work.”
Timberlake also performed “Selfish” during it Saturday night live show on Jan. 27, followed by the debut of another new song, the gospel-flavored “Sanctified,” featuring Houston rapper Tobe Nwigwe.
Behind “selfish” in the poll is the “other” category, which garnered 12% of the vote. And in third place was Megan Thee Stallion's fiery new single “Hiss,” which garnered 5% of the vote.
