When it comes to hitmakers of our era, one name that can’t be ignored is
Justin Bieber. The Ontario, Canada native burst onto the scene in with his debut seven-track EP
My World in 2009 after being signed by record executive Scooter Braun. He quickly established himself as a teen idol. When Bieber’s debut studio album
My World 2.0 debuted at number one on the US
Billboard 200, he became the youngest solo male act to top the chart in 47 years. A year later, he released
Under the Mistletoe and it became the first Christmas album by a male artist to debut at number one in the US. With the release of 2012’s
Believe, Bieber became the first artist in history with five US number-one albums by the age of 18.
At just 30 years old, Biebs is already one of the best-selling music artists of all time, with estimated sales of over 150 million records worldwide. In 2021, he broke a record previously held by Elvis Presley (since 1965) to become the youngest soloist to have eight US number-one albums. He is credited with three Diamond certifications from the RIAA. His list of accolades is extensive including two Grammy Awards, eight Juno Awards, 26 Billboard Music Awards, 18 American Music Awards and 23 Teen Choice Awards.
