A lot of the information regarding the forming of *NSYNC is inaccurate. A revision that includes more recent books, articles, interviews or even Lance Bass' documentary would rectify this information.
The numbers given for Timberlake's overall album/record sales as well as the stats for *NSYNC sales are at-least a decade old, they are not accurate and could be updated. Even though some of those numbers have not been certified by the RIAA (even those that have are almost a decade and a half old) they have certainly been reported and updated to charts such as Chartmasters, Chart Data and among countless others.

I have another source proving that he sold over 117m, He sold 132m without streaming according to chartmasters. 25m pure, 5m physical singles, 102m digital singles.
that old 88m numbers you use was already his label’s old claim and now they claim he sold 117m, it is literaly the same source, all sources you use take this data from labels even IFPI gets the sales data from labels Emoycuk (talk) 00:12, 4 February 2026 (UTC)[reply]
That seems like a stretch. I think we need citation immediately after the reference or it should be cut. There is nowhere near the consensus on that that there is around Michael Jackson, James Brown, or Madonna when they received similar nicknames.
