Last week CBS announced a big promotion to push the new Justin Timberlake album, "The 20/20 Experience," this week its Clear Channel. Target and Clear Channel are hosting an iHeartRadio album release party with Justin Timberlake at the El Rey Theater in Los Angeles on March 18. 120 fans will be flown to L.A. for special access to the event. On March 19, the day of the album's release, Timberlake will take over all format-appropriate Clear Channel radio stations, websites and iHeartRadio.com, to play his favorite music and tracks from his new album. But wait...there's more.

The CW special will also include an exclusive eight minute world premiere of Timberlake's new music video for "Mirrors." An encore of the special will air Friday, March 22 at 8 9 p.m. ET.
The release party, station takeover and live stream are currently being promoted extensively by Clear Channel Media and Entertainment across its on-air and digital platforms. The album pre-promotion will culminate with a first-of-its-kind simultaneous two minute live roadblock on 850 Clear Channel stations introducing Justin's new music and kicking off the album release party.
