Justin Timberlake's new album heading for UK number one

Justin Timberlake is set to knock David Bowie off the UK Albums Chart top spot this week, as his new record outsells The Next Day by 45,000 copies.

The 20/20 Experience was released on Monday and is Timberlake’s first album since 2006′s Future Sex/Love Sounds, with nearly 60,000 copies already sold by Wednesday.

Bowie, who was beaten to the U.S number one spot recently by Bon Jovi, is lagging behind with just 15,000 copies sold in its second week.

It’s expected that a second part of Timberlake’s album will drop later this year.
