Justin Timberlake’s musical career has transcended the realms of pop concerts and albums to find a significant place in movies and TV. His catchy tunes have punctuated some of the most memorable scenes, adding an extra layer of rhythm and emotion. Here’s a ranking of the best Justin Timberlake needle drops in movies and television:

1.”Can’t Stop The Feeling!” in “Trolls” (2016) – It’s impossible to think of this animated hit without humming along to its joyful anthem. Timberlake not only voiced a character but also blessed the soundtrack with this infectious tune that had kids and adults dancing alike.

2.”SexyBack” in “The Social Network” (2010) – As Sean Parker, Timberlake infused the biographical drama with a cool factor, and nothing did it better than “SexyBack” during the club scene, symbolizing the transformation of Facebook from a campus fad to a cultural phenomenon.

3.”Mirrors” in “About Time” (2013) – In a film about love, life, and time travel, “Mirrors” perfectly complements a poignant montage, reflecting the depth of the main character’s relationship with his wife.

4.”Cry Me A River” in “The Cleveland Show” (2010) – This soulful breakup hit found its way into an animated context during an episode where Donna tubbs belted out her own rendition at karaoke.

5.”Rock Your Body” in “Bad Teacher” (2011) – Timberlake himself appeared in this comedy alongside Cameron Diaz, and his hit single played during a hilariously awkward dry-humping scene. It was both cringe-worthy and perfectly on cue.

6.“What Goes Around…Comes Around” in “Fish Tank” (2009) – This dramatic film used Timberlake’s song to underscore a scene of teenage angst and seduction, fitting the movie’s tone like a glove.

7.“Suit & Tie” in “Runner Runner” (2013) – Though not critically acclaimed, few things upped the sleekness of this film like Timberlake’s own suave track playing over scenes of high-stakes gambling.

8.”I’m Lovin’ It” in various McDonald’s advertisements – Although not a movie or TV show, it would be remiss not to mention that jingle turned hit-song that became synonymous with happy meals across the globe.

9.“My Love” in “Step Up 2: The Streets” (2008) – In this dance flick, the pulse of “My Love” fueled an intricate rehearsal scene that showcased raw talent and slick choreography.

10.“Senorita” in “Love Island” (UK) (multiple episodes) – This playful tune has made multiple appearances during flirty moments on the reality show, demonstrating its timelessness and appeal as a feel-good background score.
