JT will return to Part 1 of "20/20 Experience" to end era
Quote:
Two years into their tenure, RCA CEO Peter Edge and President/COO Tom Corson are firing on all cylinders. With the year’s top-selling album in Justin Timberlake’s The 20/20 Experience, the ongoing success of P!nk, and the massive breakout of Miley Cyrus, among others, the duo have loomed large on the 2013 landscape, earning a 7.5% frontline marketshare—and proving that in Edge’s A&R vision and Corson’s marketing wizardry, Nipper possessed one the most formidable executive combinations in the biz.

With Justin Timberlake’s albums both debuting at #1, I wondered if you could kind of give a little retrospective on the campaign and the year he’s had.
Peter: It’s been one hell of a year. He has the best-selling album of the year, the biggest tour of the year and, with “Mirrors,” one of the songs of the year. We were thrilled to be in a position to roll out a campaign like that.
Tom: It was a great partnership with [JT manager] Johnny [Wright], Justin, [publicist] Sonia [Muckle] and the team. It’s been very organic—Justin is in the center of his campaign. He’s owns it. Not to mention that he’s an incredible superstar delivering great music and working hard, and he’s got a great management team and a great record company behind him.
Even with a superstar, there’s some risk in putting out two full-length albums of new material in the same year.
Tom: They’re not different albums; it’s a double album. That’s another concept that people are still grasping right now, and here’s a guy who’s doubling down on his concept. And he’s not done. He’s talking about follow-up singles and maybe going back to the first part of the project. We’re gonna be in the Justin business for a lot longer. There are no rules here.

What do you think, girls? Is the king of pop making the right decision?
Don't Hold the Wall and then come back when you can give us some better material. Not that these two albums weren't great, but they got old real quickly for me + can't hold a candle to FS/LS.
Cabaret would've smashed urban and rhythmic, especially with the Drake feature. Now we'll never know because I doubt they'll touch anything from 2 of 2 anymore
