The Complicated Life of Pop Superstar Justin Timberlake

In 2000, No Strings Attached became a massive commercial event, confirming *NSYNC as one of the biggest pop groups in the world. The album placed Timberlake near the center of teen-pop culture, with the group’s success reaching a new level.

The release made *NSYNC more than a popular boy band; they were now a major industry force. Timberlake’s voice and image became even more central to the group’s identity. But the bigger the fame became, the more every moment around him could turn into a headline.
