It is worth noting that Britney's 2011 track Selfish unexpectedly surged to the top of the US iTunes chart on Friday, January 26, surpassing Timberlake's new song of the same name. Fans rallied to support Britney, and her song remained at the number one spot, creating a unique chart battle between the former couple.

The timing of this chart showdown is noteworthy, considering the renewed interest in Britney and Justin's past relationship. The 2021 documentary Framing Britney Spears and Britney's memoir brought their high-profile romance back into the spotlight. The documentary shed light on the media's portrayal of their breakup, with Timberlake receiving a more positive image while Spears faced public scrutiny.

In response to the documentary and mounting pressure from Britney's fanbase during the #FreeBritney movement, Timberlake issued a public apology on social media. He acknowledged his past actions and offered an apology to Britney Spears.

Fast forward to Timberlake's recent release of Selfish, and the past controversy seems to have impacted the charts. Britney's fans rallied together to support her, propelling her 2011 track to the number-one spot on iTunes, while Timberlake's new song took a backseat.
