About Justin Bieber

Bieber's commercial ascent began with his debut extended play My World in 2009, followed by My World 2.0 in 2010, which made him the youngest solo male artist to top the Billboard 200 in 47 years. The album's lead single Baby featuring Ludacris became a massive commercial hit and cultural touchstone through its YouTube presence. His early success continued with Under the Mistletoe in 2011, the first Christmas album by a male artist to debut at number one, establishing his ability to dominate multiple album categories.

Bieber shifted toward dance-pop with Believe in 2012 and became the first artist in Billboard history to accumulate five US number-one albums by age 18 when he released an acoustic version. His 2015 album Purpose delivered multiple chart-toppers including Love Yourself, Sorry, and What Do You Mean, which simultaneously occupied the top three positions on the UK singles chart. High-profile collaborations followed, with guest appearances on DJ Khaled's I'm the One and Luis Fonsi's Despacito both reaching number one. Subsequent albums Changes (2020) and Justice (2021) continued his commercial dominance, with Justice generating his seventh US number-one single Peaches and making him the youngest solo artist to achieve eight US number-one albums.

Bieber holds certifications as one of the best-selling music artists worldwide with over 150 million units sold and five diamond certifications from the RIAA. His accolades include Grammy Awards, Latin Grammy Awards, Juno Awards, MTV Europe Music Awards (the most wins for any artist), and recognition by Time and Forbes among the world's most influential figures. The Groove Hunter currently tracks 9 editions of Bieber albums, including Believe, My World 2.0, Journals, My World, SWAG, Purpose, Justice, and Changes Red.
