Celebrity is the fourth and final studio album by American boy band NSYNC. It was released by Jive Records on July 24, 2001. Due to constant criticism that they were not a "credible group", NSYNC began experimenting with genres such as hip hop and two-step. As with their previous studio album, No Strings Attached (2000), numerous producers, including BT, Rodney Jerkins, Brian McKnight, PAJAM, and the Neptunes, worked on the album. Justin Timberlake and JC Chasez also contributed to production, while they co-wrote 10 of 13 tracks in an attempt to develop a unique sound, which includes pop, R&B, and teen pop.

After being delayed by unfinished recording sessions, Celebrity was released to generally favorable reviews from music critics, many of whom praised the production and songwriting. The album was the band's second album to debut at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart, with first week sales of 1,879,495 copies in the US, which became the second-best debut week sales in the country. It was also the third-best selling album on the Billboard 200 in 2001, after Shaggy's Hot Shot (2000) and Linkin Park's Hybrid Theory (2000), and has since been certified quintuple platinum in the US by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). NSYNC embarked on the accompanying PopOdyssey and Celebrity tours for promotion.

Background and development

Template:Multiple image At the 2000 Billboard Music Awards on December 5, NSYNC announced they would begin "experimenting with new music" for their third studio album at a recording studio in Florida during January and February 2001. Justin Timberlake said the band planned to spend two months in the studio to come up with ideas, while Joey Fatone stated that they may leave Florida as the album progresses. NSYNC also said they wanted to collaborate with Kevin "She'kspere" Briggs and Richard Marx, with whom they had worked on their third studio album No Strings Attached (2000).<ref name="MTVStudio">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Although No Strings Attached sold 14 million copies worldwide, including a record 2.4 million in the United States during its first week, critics ridiculed the band, who did not match the critics' perceptions as a "credible group" and were not considered "artistic".<ref name="CelebrityBillboard">Template:Cite magazine</ref><ref name="RSPop">Template:Cite magazine</ref> In response to this, NSYNC decided to be more involved in production, co-writing 10 of the 13 tracks on Celebrity. JC Chasez discussed the recording process in an interview with Billboard: "Our objective was not to be self-conscious and try to make another hit record. Instead, we set out to make a record that was more reflective of what turns us on musically. We also wanted to prove that pop music comes in a lot of different flavors. It's not all bubble-gum."<ref name="CelebrityBillboard"/><ref name="Billboard20">Template:Cite magazine</ref> The band decided to assign roles for each member to combat media perception of "leadership roles within the group". Timberlake and Chasez worked on the album's production and music, while Lance Bass was assigned to handle business and management, and Fatone started to plan the supporting tour alongside Chris Kirkpatrick.<ref name="RSPop"/> Celebrity finished production in June 2001.<ref name="LongWay">Template:Cite news</ref>

Recording and production

NSYNC sought out several collaborators to add new styles to their sound for Celebrity. BT was recruited when Chasez, a fan of BT's music, befriended the producer at shows. Though initially hesitant to work with the band as their styles were opposite from each other, BT finally agreed when Timberlake told him he could do whatever he wanted with the group's vocals.<ref name="BT">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Timberlake told BT he wanted the track to sound like "The Hip Hop Phenomenon" on the UK version of BT's 1999 album Movement in Still Life, to which BT responded, "If you wanna do something that punk-rock, I'll do it."<ref name="MTVSeek"/><ref name="BT"/> During the production of "Pop", BT tried 40 different treatments for vocals, with him using equipment that is commonly used for movie sound effects, and he constantly shouted Michael Jackson's name at Timberlake to inspire him. BT changed the song from "new-school R&B, Timbaland-style beats, to progressive house".<ref name="BT"/>

NSYNC choreographer Wade Robson also took on a bigger role for the band as he co-wrote and produced multiple tracks for Celebrity, including "Pop", "Gone", and the title track.<ref name="LinerNotes"/> "Gone" was initially written as a duet between Timberlake and Jackson, but was declined by Jackson.<ref name="GoneUpcoming">Template:Cite magazine</ref> Timberlake took the song to NSYNC's A&R team and the band later recorded it. Jackson changed his mind after the song's release and wanted it to be performed only as a duet between himself and Timberlake, but they could not find a way to rewrite the song.<ref name="GoneBillboard">Template:Cite magazine</ref> American production duo the Neptunes produced CelebrityTemplate:'s third single "Girlfriend".<ref name="MTVSeek"/><ref name="RSPop"/> Timberlake was determined to get American musician Stevie Wonder to play the harmonica for "Something Like You" after Timberlake composed the song with his songwriting partner Robin Wiley. Wonder recorded the harmonica part after Jive Records contacted him, with Timberlake describing his presence as a "surreal moment".<ref name="MTVSeek"/> Brad Daymond and Alex Greggs, known as Riprock 'n' Alex G, returned from No Strings Attached to write and produce three tracks: "The Two of Us", "Up Against the Wall", and "The Game is Over".<ref name="Rolling Stone"/><ref name="Credits"/> Bass stated that "The Two of Us" was inspired by the music of Craig David.<ref name="LongWay"/>

Composition and lyrical content

Celebrity includes elements of several musical genres, including pop,<ref name="SlantMagazine"/><ref name="Dotmusic"/> R&B,<ref name="Dotmusic"/> and teen pop.<ref name="EW"/> In contrast to No Strings Attached, the decision to experiment with different sounds on songs such as "Pop" was made so NSYNC could appear more mature and musically diverse.<ref name="RSPop"/> The album fuses sounds from NSYNC's earlier songs such as "Bye Bye Bye" (2000) with experimental genres, including hip hop and British two-step.<ref name="CelebrityBillboard"/> Several of the producers who worked on Celebrity influenced the unique sound of each track, which was attributed to the band's self-awareness and desire to accentuate different aspects of their music.<ref name="ErlewineAllRev"/>

The album's first track, "Pop", refers to NSYNC's defense of the pop genre towards their critics.<ref name="OneDirection">Template:Cite magazine</ref> Larry Flick of Billboard described the song as "a crafty, anthemic blend of Cameo-style electro-funk beats, Euro-pop synths, heavy-metal guitars, and Timberlake's now-signature human beat-box riffs",<ref name="CelebrityBillboard"/> while John Hugar of Uproxx referred to it as "a sort of proto-salvo against in the rockist vs. poptimists argument", and called the song a preview of Timberlake's 2003 single "Rock Your Body".<ref name="Uproxx">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The next track, "Celebrity", was produced by Rodney Jerkins, who used "low-key, funksome, two-step slither" along with camera clicks.<ref name="Dotmusic"/><ref name="Fuse">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> The lyrics outline the negative consequences of being "a multi-millionaire, globe-trotting pop star", while Jon O'Brien of Billboard noted that the song is influenced by the Blackstreet and Janet Jackson song "Girlfriend/Boyfriend" (1999).<ref name="Billboard20"/> "The Game is Over", according to Barry Walters of Rolling Stone, includes the "Pac-Man theme and dance-y squeaks", and "echoes the sounds and sentiments of the last album's edgiest cuts".<ref name="Rolling Stone">Template:Cite magazine</ref> The fourth track, "Girlfriend", is an R&B song that was produced by the Neptunes.<ref name="Fuse"/> A remix of the track that features rapper Nelly was noted for giving the song a hip hop influence.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> Nelly raps over a minimal guitar figure for two verses; the first which lasted for 61 seconds before the song's first verse.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> "The Two of Us" is an "R&B waltz"<ref name="Billboard20"/> containing a "British dancefloor beat",<ref name="BillboardRelease"/> which was compared to that of "Digital Get Down" from No Strings Attached.<ref name="PopMatters"/> Staff writers at Billboard considered the ballad "Gone" to be "harrowing, relentless and unmistakably final".<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref> Hugar noted "Gone" as the precursor to Timberlake's second single "Cry Me a River" (2002).<ref name="Uproxx"/>

"Tell Me, Tell Me... Baby" was written by Max Martin and includes elements of Europop.<ref name="ErlewineAllRev"/> According to O'Brien, the song contains "larger than life beats, swelling strings" and a bombastic chorus, which serves as a "blatant throwback".<ref name="Billboard20"/> "Up Against the Wall" is an R&B song that features two-step garage elements;<ref name="BillboardRelease">Template:Cite magazine</ref> it was compared to Billy Joel's song "Get It Right the First Time" from his 1977 album The Stranger,<ref name="PopMatters"/> while the middle eight was compared to songs by the UK garage group So Solid Crew.<ref name="Billboard20"/> "See Right Through You", the ninth track on Celebrity, has an R&B sound;<ref name="Fuse"/> according to David Browne of Entertainment Weekly, the song is "another tale of betrayal by scheming girls". The Brian McKnight-produced track "Selfish" combines the vocals of Chasez and Timberlake with an adult contemporary track.<ref name="EW">Template:Cite magazine</ref> "Just Don't Tell Me That", a teen pop track, is similar to songs by Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys.<ref name="Rolling Stone"/> The song's lyrics describe a "fame-seeking girlfriend" spending too much time at the Playboy Mansion.<ref name="Billboard20"/> According to Browne, "Something Like You" is a "squishy ballad with drooling-puppy harmonies and lyrics".<ref name="EW"/> The chorus was compared to the Boyz II Men song "4 Seasons of Loneliness".<ref name="Billboard20"/> The US version of the album's final song "Do Your Thing" contains "stuttering electronic beats" and a bar by the songwriter J. Moss.<ref name="Billboard20"/> Browne described the song as "mild electronica";<ref name="EW"/> "Do Your Thing" is included on Celebrity because Jive Records wanted a song that showcased NSYNC's vocal talents and harmony.<ref name="MTVSeek"/>

Artwork and title

The artwork of Celebrity depicts the band walking on a red carpet while surrounded by flashing cameras and a crowd.<ref name="LinerNotes"/> Jackie Murphy created the artwork, which was photographed by Mark Seliger.<ref name="Credits"/> Writing for AllMusic, Stephen Thomas Erlewine considered the garish cover art to be a hybrid of the cover of the Beatles' 1967 album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and music videos by alternative rock band Sammy, and said the title Celebrity "none too subtly [draws] attention to the fact that they're stars".<ref name="ErlewineAllRev"/> Ariana Bacle of Entertainment Weekly stated the appearance of each member on the artwork is "tame" in comparison to that of NSYNC's 1997 eponymous debut studio album, specifically criticizing Chasez and Joey Fatone's highlights for seeking unneeded attention.<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref>

Jive Records president Barry Weiss was surprised by the band's touring approach, acknowledging the audience response would indicate "an album of immeasurable creative and commercial depth".<ref name="CelebrityBillboard2"/>

MTV broadcast a television special entitled The Road to Celebrity on July 21 and 22, 2001.<ref name="CelebrityBillboard2"/> The premiere of Celebrity, which included celebrities such as Britney Spears, Hugh Hefner, the Olsen Twins, and Aisha Tyler, was held at West Hollywood on July 23, 2001.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> NSYNC also played several songs at a tailgate party in the parking lot and appeared on MTV's Total Request Live on July 24, 2001, coinciding with the date of the album's ultimate release.<ref name="CelebrityBillboard2"/> To promote Celebrity, NSYNC appeared on The Rosie O'Donnell Show, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and Today, between June and August 2001.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> On the August 2001 magazine issue of Rolling Stone, each NSYNC member was featured on an individual cover, in addition to a cover with the all the members.<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref> The recording process and promotional cycle for Celebrity was more condensed than their previous albums, as the group scrambled to finish the album while planning for PopOdyssey.

Critical reception

Template:Music ratings

Celebrity was met with generally favorable reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 65 based on 11 reviews, indicating "generally favorable" reviews.<ref name="Metacritic"/>

Erlewine said Celebrity is NSYNC's "most varied album yet" and called it a highlight from the teen-pop era of 1999–2001, and praised the musicianship of Timberlake, Chasez, and the songwriters.<ref name="ErlewineAllRev"/> J.D. Considine of Blender said the album "shines brightest when the group matures enough to forget about its image and focus on the tunes".<ref name="Blender"/> Alex Needham of NME wrote that although NSYNC display feelings of discontent on Celebrity, they "have the tunes to make up for it".<ref name="NME"/> In one of his "Consumer Guide" reviews, Robert Christgau gave the album a one-star honorable mention, writing, "they survive writing their own songs", highlighting "Selfish" and "Do Your Thing".<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Neil Strauss of The New York Times singled out "The Game Is Over," with its "skittering, robotic video-game beat" as an impressive track.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Browne stated that Celebrity is "the consummate teen-pop experience", listing R&B, ballads, self-expression and Europop as examples of genres included. He also said it is "pleasant filler and nothing more".<ref name="EW"/> Walters said the anxiety in the singers' vocals allowed them to "pave a new high road for teen pop’s future", and that he found the band's calling out of "anonymous gold diggers" on several tracks tiresome.<ref name="Rolling Stone"/> Writing for Slant, Sal Cinquemani criticized the album for being "slightly overcooked and a tad overzealous", saying it is unfortunate NSYNC "couldn’t completely discard the classic hit-making formula in favor of the more experimental pop that seems so inherent in this and their last album". He said NSYNC could become "The Beatles of their generation" if they abandoned the pop genre and survived the growing pains and the aging of their fans.<ref name="SlantMagazine"/> The staff of Q said Celebrity is "quality froth" despite not being good,<ref name="Q"/> and the E! Online staff stated that 13-year-old girls would love the album while others will only reluctantly appreciate it.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Dotmusic's Cyd Jaymes was critical of Celebrity, praising the first track "Pop" for being one of the best singles of 2001, but describing the remainder of the album as "formulaic, less-than-meaty balladeering and the odd glimmer of upbeat hope", and largely underwhelming.<ref name="Dotmusic"/> Jason Thompson of PopMatters described it as "threadbare cookie crunch" and accused the band of setting double-standards for their fans, saying NSYNC "enjoy flaunting their own image while at the same time playing a candy-ass game of 'don't like us only for our status'".<ref name="PopMatters">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Commercial performance

In the US, Celebrity debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. Although it did not sell as many copies as No Strings Attached, Celebrity, selling 1,879,955 copies, it had the second-best debut week sales at the time since Nielsen SoundScan had begun monitoring record retailers in 1991.<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref><ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref> Billboard said the album's failure to match the first-week sales of its predecessor was due to the 2001 US economy's weaker state in comparison with the previous year, as well as the first decline in album sales in more than a decade.<ref name="Opening">Template:Cite magazine</ref> On August 22, 2001, Celebrity was certified quintuple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), denoting shipments of 5,000,000 units in the US.<ref name="USCert"/> It became the third best-selling album of 2001, selling 4.42 million copies. Sales of the album were marginally lower than those of Shaggy's Hot Shot by 86,000 copies, which only beat it in the cassette format; Hot Shot sold 304,000 tapes while Celebrity only sold 92,000 tapes.<ref name="MTVSales">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Celebrity was ranked at number nine on the Billboard 200 year-end chart for 2001.<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref> As of March 2015, the album had sold 5,002,000 copies in the US according to Nielsen Music.<ref name=billboard2015/> It has sold an additional 826,000 units at the BMG Music Club, as of February 2003.<ref name="BMG"/>

Celebrity debuted at number one in Canada on the Canadian Albums Chart, selling 71,254 copies, which was the biggest first-week album sales of 2001.<ref name="Opening"/> It was certified double platinum by Music Canada (MC) for selling over 200,000 units in the country on November 7, 2001.<ref name="CanadaCert"/> In the United Kingdom, the album sold 13,000 units in its debut week,<ref name="Opening"/> entering at number 12 on the UK Albums Chart.<ref name="UK"/> Celebrity was certified gold by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) for selling over 100,000 copies in the UK on May 17, 2002.<ref name="UKCert"/> Several European companies reported slow album sales, including Fnac in France and Spain, WOM in Germany, and Ricordi in Italy. The album sold 20,000 units in the first week in Japan,<ref name="Opening"/> where it peaked at number 11 on the Oricon Albums Chart.<ref name="JapanChart"/> Celebrity peaked at number 10 on Australia's ARIA Albums chart, and was certified gold by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) for selling over 35,000 units in the country.<ref name="AU"/><ref name="AUCert"/> In 2001 Celebrity was the ninth best-selling album globally, selling 6.5 million copies.<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref>

Legacy

At the end of the Celebrity Tour in May 2002, NSYNC went on hiatus to take time off from touring and recording and to accommodate for Timberlake's desire to record a solo album.<ref name="HuffPost">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>Template:Cite book</ref><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Although the hiatus was planned to be temporary, with the band intending to record a fifth album once Timberlake released his album,<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref><ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref> they did not return to record together in the studio for 21 years,<ref name="Billboard20"/><ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> until the release of the song "Better Place" in 2023.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Celebrity is retrospectively seen as "a logical swan song" for NSYNC because it came after the record-breaking commercial success of No Strings Attached and before the band's eventual dissolution.<ref name="Uproxx"/><ref name="HuffPost"/> Music critics observed that the album was the basis for Timberlake's solo career,<ref name="Billboard20"/><ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref> as the album's singles consisted of only songs Timberlake co-wrote, in addition to album promotion that centered around Timberlake.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Hugar compared Celebrity to Zayn Malik's and Harry Styles' desires for solo stardom after One Direction's hiatus, concluding that it is "a reminder that boy bands are rarely built to last".<ref name="Uproxx"/> NPR's Maria Sherman stated the album shifted the band further towards the R&B genre and "firmly established Timberlake as the bandleader and pushed Chasez's powerful pop vocals to the periphery".<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Andrew Unterberger of Billboard acknowledged that Celebrity contained sounds which "pushes pop music into the future".<ref name="OneDirection"/>
