JUSTIN BIEBER

Justin Drew Bieber ( BEE-bər; born March 1, 1994) is a Canadian singer. Regarded as a prominent figure in contemporary popular music, he rose to fame in the late 2000s with his debut extended play, My World (2009), receiving international recognition and establishing himself as a teen idol. Bieber's debut album, My World 2.0 (2010), topped the US Billboard 200, making him the youngest solo male to do so in 47 years. Its lead single, "Baby", became one of the best selling singles in the United States, while its accompanying music video became the most disliked video on YouTube. His second album, Under the Mistletoe (2011), became the first Christmas album by a male artist to debut atop the chart. With his third album, Believe (2012), and its acoustic re-release, Bieber became the first artist in Billboard's history to have five US number-one albums by the age of 18. Following a series of controversies, he released the EDM-infused 2015 single "Where Are Ü Now", marking a departure from his teen idol image. Bieber's fourth album, Purpose (2015), yielded the US Billboard Hot 100 number-ones "Love Yourself", "Sorry", and "What Do You Mean?".
