It’s a fairly tough feat to come from a boyband background and turn yourself into a credible star, however Justin Timberlake’s sheer style, determination, and of course talent, helped him spiral as one of the most sought-after and respected musicians around today.

With 31st January 2014 marking Justin Timberlake’s 33rd birthday, we take a quick look at what we believe are his Top 10 defining moments as a popstar, from N*Sync member, to collaborator, to his solo work. We’re sure the list below will divide opinion, and we’re almost certain there will be comments saying “Why isn’t [such and such track] in there?”, but hey, we’re pretty chuffed at the incredible work that JT has pumped out over the years, so to make a Top 10 is a pretty tricky task.

However, enjoy, sit back, and listen to some of Justin Timberlake’s greatest songs of all time!
