Throwback Thursday – Madonna and Justin Timberlake ‘4 Minutes’ (2008)

Duets continue!

In 2008, Madonna released her eleventh studio album, Hard Candy. As the lead single she paired up with Justin Timberlake for the song "4 Minutes."

Some critics claimed that Madonna seemed to be more of the featured artist on her own song, but I'm not complaining, I"ll take Justin any way I can get him.

The song did very well on the charts and was nominated for awards.

According to Wikipedia:

The song peaked at number three on the US Billboard Hot 100, giving Madonna her 37th top-ten single, breaking the record previously held by Elvis Presley, as the artist with most top-ten hits. It remains Madonna's best-selling digital single in the United States, with sales of over three million copies. Internationally, "4 Minutes" topped the chart in 21 countries, including Australia, Canada, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom.

 

The song received two Grammy Awardnominations for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals and Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical at the 2009 ceremony.
