COLUMBUS, Ohio (WCMH) – A two-time Super Bowl halftime performer has made a major announcement leading up to this week’s big game and it does not involve Taylor Swift.

The album is set to be released on March 15.

Timberlake has sold over 54 million albums and 63 million singles globally, not including 70 million records sold with NSYNC. He has won 10 Grammy Awards for albums such as “Man of the Woods”, “The 20/20 Experience”, “FutureSex/LoveSounds” and “Justified”. He’s also won nine Billboard Music Awards, seven American Music Awards and two Emmy Awards for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series for his appearances on Saturday Night Live in 2009 and 2011.

His hit record, “Can’t Stop the Feeling” from the movie TROLLS was nominated for Best Original Song at the 2017 Academy Awards.
