me — oh, and *NSYNC!*NSYNC fans are a little put off by Justin Timberlake seemingly giving himself his own feature on the boy band’s first new song in over 21 years, “Better Place.” Performers on the track, which was released Friday and is included on the upcoming “Trolls Band Together” movie soundtrack, are listed as “*NSYNC and Timberlake” on some platforms — even though *NSYNC consists of Timberlake, JC Chasez, Lance Bass, and Joey Fatone, and Chris Kirkpatrick.“NSYNC ft Justin Timberlake!??
