Justin Bieber

About

Also known as: Justin Beiber, Justin Drew Bieber, ジャスティン・ビーバー

Justin Bieber put Canada on the pop map in a big way when his debut EP My World landed in 2009 and made him an instant teen idol. His follow up, My World 2.0, shot to the top of the US Billboard 200, and the single "Baby" became one of the best selling singles in the country. By the time he was 18, he had racked up five number one albums in the US, a Billboard first for any artist at that age. His 2015 album Purpose marked a real creative shift, leaning into electronic production and spawning three simultaneous top three singles on the UK chart, another historic first. The numbers behind his career are genuinely staggering: over 150 million units sold worldwide, five RIAA diamond certifications, two Grammy Awards, and a record 22 MTV Europe Music Awards. His 2017 feature on "Despacito" tied the then record for the most weeks at number one in history. He has since continued releasing chart topping work, including the number one singles "Peaches" and "Stay" in 2021, and dropped his seventh and eighth studio albums, Swag and Swag II, in 2025.
