Justin and Beyonce?
Timberlake's brush with Destiny
6/27/01 - 8:29 PM ET
(DOTMUSIC)Destiny's Child star Beyonce Knowles has admitted to having a brief fling with Justin Timberlake, the current boyfriend of Britney Spears.
However, the liaison is unlikely to cause a rift in the long-term relationship between Spears and N*SYNC's Timberlake, as it happened before they got together.
Knowles, who has recently been linked to controversial rap superstar Eminem, confessed: He's adorable I am a big fan. He's a good kisser, too.
However, she added: Don't get the wrong idea. It was once at a party. He's doing his thing with Britney now.

NEW YORK (Billboard) - Britney Spears and 'N Sync have signed on to headline the third "Rock In Rio For A Better World" festival, to be held Jan. 12-21 in Rio De Janeiro. Native stars such as Funk 'n Lata, Fernanda Abreu, and Pato Fu will also be on the bill, which will eventually grow to nearly 100 international acts. Staged by Brazilian businessman Roberto Medina, "Rock In Rio" follows the 1991 event, which featured performances from Guns 'N Roses, Santana, and George Michael. Proceeds from the 2001 festival will benefit Viva Rio, a Rio-based social services organization that aids the youth of the city. "Rock In Rio" will be broadcast live in Brazil and will be licensed to more than 50 countries. AOL will sponsor the event and will create a network of cyber-areas allowing concertgoers to communicate with people through the world.

"Even 'N Sync's Justin Timberlake encountered a situation that he believes was racially motivated. In an unfamiliar part of his hometown of Memphis, Tenn., he was attacked and hit in the back of the head with a bar. At first, assuming he was being mugged, he grabbed his back pocket where his wallet was. But he says, he was 'kicked and hit for about two minutes and some slang remarks were made" by three African-American men. With his well-known success, Justin seems to have recovered from the physical and emotional scars, but not everyone does."

"Even 'N Sync's Justin Timberlake encountered a situation that he believes was racially motivated. In an unfamiliar part of his hometown of Memphis, Tenn., he was attacked and hit in the back of the head with a bar. At first, assuming he was being mugged, he grabbed his back pocket where his wallet was. But he says, he was 'kicked and hit for about two minutes and some slang remarks were made" by three African-American men. With his well-known success, Justin seems to have recovered from the physical and emotional scars, but not everyone does."

*NSYNC Break Record!
6/27/01 - 12:53 PM ET
(MTVAsia) - It looks like *NSYNC have well and truly won the current battle of the boy bands, as they are tipped to break their own first week sales record of 2.4 million with the release of their "Celebrity" album in July. Justin Timberlake and the boys have also been sold out hundreds of dates on their U.S. Pop Odyssey tour, while former boy band kings, the Backstreet Boys, are finding it difficult to fill seats, according to reports. Even U.S. radio stations have admitted that they have been given loads of Backstreet Boys tickets to give away because, as one radio DJ revealed, "no one wants to buy them." Meanwhile in the U.S. singles chart, *NSYNC's "Pop," the first track plucked from their eagerly anticipated album, is currently resting at No. 19, while the Backstreet Boys' "More Than That" is lagging behind at No. 27. Such is the hype surrounding the release of *NSYNC's new album, the follow-up to "No Strings Attached," that Rolling Stone magazine have announced that each of the five members of the boy band have their own individual cover for its July issue.
*** 'N Sync holds top spot on album chart
LOS ANGELES (Billboard) - The 'N Sync boys are still the ruling kings of the Billboard 200, holding the No. 1 position for a sixth straight week. But the boy band may soon be dethroned; sales of their Jive debut "No Strings Attached" dropped 63% week-to-week, scanning 248,000 units vs. 654,600. Two industry mainstays scored big debuts for the week ending April 30. Toni Braxton bows at No. 2 with "The Heat," her first album in four years, which sold 199,000 copies, while "Skull & Bones," a two-disc release from alternative rap kings Cypress Hill, comes in at No. 5, moving 139,300 copies. Joe's "My Name Is Joe" falls a spot to No. 3, scanning 150,800 copies vs. 286,250 the previous week, according to SoundScan figures obtained from industry sources. Dru Hill singer Sisqo's solo album "Unleash the Dragon" moves down a notch to No. 4 on 146,250 units scanned. The Def Jam release has sold 2.6 million units to date.
'N Sync Tickets Go 'Bye Bye Bye'
Jive act 'N Sync's "No Strings Attached" tour is believed to have set a single-day record for ticket sales last Saturday, the first day the tickets were available. More than 1 million tickets were sold, and 51 of the 52 shows put up that day sold out. The total gross was about $40 million. Only a May 14 date at Nashville's Adelphia Stadium did not sell out, but it's expected to do so shortly.
The tour, sponsored by MCY.com and Nabisco and produced by SFX Touring, begins May 9 at Mississippi Coast Coliseum in Biloxi. The first leg ends July 31 in Hershey, Pa.; a second leg of about 30 dates will be announced soon. MCY.com will record concert and backstage footage for an upcoming webcast.
Meanwhile, it appears that 'N Sync's Jive album "No Strings Attached," released last week, will not only shatter Backstreet Boys' one-week record of 1.13 million units, but will break the 2 million mark. SoundScan results will not be released until Wednesday morning, but industry observers say they are confident that the 'N Sync set surpassed that figure.

"'N Sync album selling fast" - added 3/25/00
NEW YORK (Billboard) - The Jive debut from 'N Sync, "No Strings Attached," featuring the hit "Bye Bye Bye," burst out of the starting gate Tuesday with an impressive show of sales that could culminate into the biggest first week ever in the SoundScan era, many retailers said. According to sources, Jive shipped 4.2 million units and reorders were already pouring in hours after the album went on sale tuesday. The SoundScan record for one-week sales in the U.S. belongs to labelmates Backstreet Boys, who moved 1.13 million units of their "Millennium" set in its debut week last summer.
"Backstreet Boys Quit Playing Games" - added 10/9/99
They want it their way. News that the Backstreet Boys are threatening to bolt Jive Records, reportedly because the label is wooing fellow pop idols 'N Sync (the boy wonders who themselves recently and abruptly announced their exit from RCA Records, much to that label's dismay), may have some fans wondering if anybody in the music business honors their contract these days.
Public contract disputes are as old as the business itself, and artists often turn up the heat in order to renegotiate new financial terms for themselves. But the unfolding Jive/`N Sync/Backstreet Boys opera even has some inside the business shaking their heads in disbelief.
The chronology, if nothing else, is simple. Two weeks ago Jive announced that it had signed `N Sync, who were disgruntled with their RCA contract. Executives at RCA's parent company BMG were furious over the move. "On a scale of one to ten, it was a ten," says one source. BMG insisted `N Sync was still under contract and was not free to simply up and leave for a new, more lucrative home. "'N Sync is a BMG act and we will protect and enforce our rights vigorously," said a company spokesperson.
Jumping labels in the middle of the game, and before fulfilling a contract, is a highly unusual move, even by music industry standards. "We're all trying to find out under what basis [`N Sync's] trying to end their contract," says one industry attorney, who is simply an observer of this dispute. "It's like the Boston Red Sox signing [Yankee outfielder] Bernie Williams and the Yankees insisting Bernie's still on their team. But contracts can be read many different ways, that's why we have the courts."
Making matters even more complex is the fact BMG owns twenty percent of Jive, thereby turning the dispute into an unpleasant family feud.
Now comes word that the Backstreet Boys camp is looking to use that internal turmoil to their advantage, complaining about Jive signing 'N Sync (whom the BSB consider to be pale imitators), as well as BSB members not seeing enough money from their multi-platinum sales. Suddenly, it is Jive issuing statements insisting its top-selling teen act, the Backstreet Boys, are still signed to the label.
In many ways the Backstreet Boys' bickering is much more common: a best-selling act going public with its complaints about its label deal and threatening to leave, in hopes of re-upping for more money. (Note how the highly publicized suit between Beck and his label Geffen, filed back in April, was quietly settled earlier this week, as these types of money skirmishes almost always are.) "Everybody's seen that before," says the attorney.
What makes this scenario so compelling though (besides the intense animosity between `N Sync and the Backstreet Boys), are the extraordinary sales numbers involved. In the last two years `N Sync and the Backstreet Boys have sold a combined 21 millions albums, in America alone. For the groups' two record companies, those sales represent a profit of more than $100 million. Those sorts of money-making properties come around once every few decades and to lose one prematurely would be devastating to each record company.
But those are the headaches that accompany mega-success, says one source. The bottom line: "It all stems from people wanting more money."
