While most music acts are reluctant to embrace free streaming services like Rdio and Spotify ,”free” may very well be a key factor for Justin Timberlake who has already spent two weeks atop the Billboard 200 Albums chart with his first installment of The 20/20 Experience .

Released on March 19th, the album has brought Justin his best sales week. It sold a total of 968,000 copies in its first week and could sell another 150,000 to 170,00 by April 10th when the new chart is revealed.

If 20/20 stays at #1 for a third week, it will be the first album to spend its first three weeks at the top since Taylor Swift ‘s Red did in November 2012. And it has been three years since a male artist has made the fete when Eminem ‘s Recovery dominated for three weeks in July 2010.

In other music news, country trio The Band Perry and its Pioneer album is expected to be next week’s top debut, estimated to sell 110,000. While Tyler, the Creator and his second studio album, Wolf may come in at #2 with 75,000 to 80,000 in sales.
