^ "Urban/UAC Future Releases | R&B, Hip Hop, Release Schedule and Street Dates |".Justin Timberlake & T.I.) - Single by Jamie Foxx".
The song debuted at number 28 on the US Billboard Hot 100 due to strong airplay and downloads, becoming T.I.'s third and Timberlake's and Foxx's first "hot shot debut" on the chart. The song was released on urban radio stations on April 6, 2010, and was released on to mainstream radio stations. (.) The chorus of "Winner" splayed across ESPN and TNT promos for basketball games." Slant Magazine panned the track: "It's this kind of careless maximalism that produces junk like "Winner", a whirring waste of a Justin Timberlake appearance, a song whose basketball theme and cheesy dribble beat sound like something ripped from High School Musical." USA Today, however, highlighted the song positively. LA Times was also positive: "Current radio staple "Winner" sets the template - big processed drums, creepy synths and lots of open space for Foxx’s capable runs." The New York Times was positive too: "On "Winner" there’s even some of the pseudo rapping that Justin Timberlake has been squeezing out of his system of late." PopMatters was negative in its review, however: ""Winner" is another song that exists in spite of Jamie, and speaks only to the depth of his pockets.
Allmusic considered this song a standout cut.
