Love in the 21 st Century is hard. You want to get to know someone, but you have to keep a healthy distance. It's the game we've created for ourselves, and though none of us really wants to play, them's the rules.
Many comparisons have been made to Justin Timberlake's step-out solo single "Girlfriend," from the obvious title mirroring down to the similar parking lot pimpin' music video treatment. This was Bieber stepping out into his "swag" trap ish, and if we listen closely, we can hear the incoming dance music production partnerships coming a mile a minute. Sunday slow jam me so hard with this song. This is some slinky, bluesy, babe magic.
The lyrics were written during a "happy time" in Bieber and Selena Gomez ' relationship, which is kind of heartbreaking but adorable at the same time. Play this at my wedding, and then again at the honeymoon when no one is watching.
Justin Bieber — "Confident" feat. Chance the Rapper. This was another one of those music videos that pulled Bieber into the world of awkward adult lust.
These dance moves are too cute, as is our boy. That he teamed up with Chance the Rapper only solidified my strange, building love for the Biebs, and this was before Chance had the Kanye co-sign.
Definitely some feel yourself music. While Bieber was certainly anything but quiet since dropping Purpose, " Friends" actually marked his first single as lead artist since it's last single "Company" in March of This tune is energetic, playful, and very dance-oriented.
It continues the Bieber narrative of wanting to keep in touch with an old flame. We wonder who that could be. DJ Khaled has become one of the biggest success stories of the past decade. He's got the keys to success, and those keys all come bearing the names of the biggest stars in hip-hop and pop alike. This is one for the repeat button, for sure.
Justin Bieber — " Baby" feat. Justin Bieber is actually 16 on this song, though he looks and sounds like he could be At that tender teen age, he stole our hearts with a saccharine hook that actually really stands the test of time.
His childlike voice is so earnest and clear, and the fact that Ludacris co-signs a teenage heart throb is more than enough to tell you, this kid is up to something. First of all, this music video is freaking amazing. John Leguizamo is a national treasure. Bless him for co-starring in this totally insane clip. Why does Bieber think faking an attempt to kidnap is a good date idea? As if falling into a skate park rave makes the trauma go away. He's back in the studio with Skrillex and Diplo on this cut, which is turns out was not a solitary experience in any way imaginable.
Skrillex is all over the Purpose album, and this is one of the best take-aways. Major Lazer — "Cold Water" feat. Bieber's third phase career as one of the leading dance music vocalists continues to amaze. It's got a bit of that dancehall flavor Major Lazer is known for, but it's still one of the poppiest works from the trio to date.
Put this tune on when you've got a friend who needs a life saver and a night on the dance floor. Once Bieber found such success with Skrillex and Diplo, the dance producer flood gates were opened.
DJ Snake had to get his own Bieber-assisted super hit, and "Let Me Love You" is one of those pop songs you hear and instantly want to hear again. It's got that same wonky horn synth from "Lean On," and it's got all the dreamy falsetto a young heart can handle. We can't help thinking Bieber had a huge part in the song's success, because, well, he always does, right? Whether you love it or hate it, this remix of "Despacito" is one of the most popular songs of all time. It marks the first, and so-far only, time Bieber has sung in Spanish.
He may infamously have since forgotten the words, but that didn't stop fans from pushing his version to the top of the Hot for 16 weeks in a row, tying it with Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men's "One Sweet Day" for longest command in the chart's 59 years. It's also the first primarily Spanish-language song to top the chart since 's "Macarena. I hereby nominate "Love Yourself" as being the Justin Bieber song with the best lyrics.
First of all, opening your track by berating someone for using your name to get into clubs is a clutch superstar move. Also, a chorus all about how your mom likes everyone except your ex is absolutely brilliant. We've got to give a nod to Ed Sheeran to the songwriting assist, but we are pretty sure we here honest Bieber all over this.
It's an overly-simple tune, mostly just Bieber and an acoustic guitar with a bit of trumpet thrown in for good measure. It's incredibly raw, when you think about it, but it plays like a celebratory pop anthem. It's quite vulnerable for mainstream radio, and Bieber pulls it off with grace and the gusto of a man who knows exactly what he's doing.
The Bieb's big reinvention LP Purpose is, at its core, all about forgiveness. We as fans needed to forgive him for that weird period where everyone decided he was the worst — or the best, depending on how you feel about young, famous tricksters.
He needed to forgive himself for making an ass of himself publicly, and of course, there's the whole romantic notion of Bieber apologizing to the women cough Selena Gomez cough he may have hurt along the road to maturity.
Thinly veiled as an amorous apology, he's just laying it all out over an infectious rhythm with a hook that can't be denied. Oh Justin, when you come into the room looking like this and singing like that, we just can't help but forgive you.
I once saw Bieber's famous manager Scooter Braun give a talk at P. Diddy's Revolt Music Conference, and he said the moment he knew they had won the Bieber reinvention campaign was when he took the stage at Ultra Music Festival Miami with Skrillex and Diplo, and nobody boo'd. It's more grown-up, but it's still got that sheen of candy-colored fantasy. The pitched-up vocal line in the hook is instantly recognizable and was certainly a game changer in the pop and dance production world at the time.
Search term. Under the Mistletoe looks like a steep decline in comparison but performs quite well for a Christmas album, as it was the 7th best-selling album of according to the IFPI. By , streaming had already pretty much taken over the industry, but this did not stop Bieber from selling a massive 4. By , the background was again different, with pure sales limited to bundles or collector items. The hyped release of Changes failed to translate into large sales, with total units to date standing at , All those releases sold 1 million or more thanks to the strong fan base of the singer, as we will see under the appropriate section later on this article.
As a reminder, the weighting is done with a 10 to 3 ratio between one album and one physical single. International stars sold virtually no physical singles in Japan so it is all down to Germany which remained somewhat relevant there with 4,3 million CDs sold in As a reminder, the weighting is done with a 10 to 1,5 ratio between one album and one digital single.
Just like the profile of Bieber is not standard in the music industry, his digital sales are atypical. His top 3 sellers up to add for 23 million, an average of slightly more than 7. What strikes the most with his digital sales pattern is how consistent his songs are, album tracks included. The best illustration of this situation is likely the Swiss market which combines influences from Germany, France and Italy and as such makes it a meaningful market.
In that country, up to , the singer never made the Top 15 as a leading act. Still, he charted 21 different songs, adding for a large number of sales despite never breaking into the Top This is how, despite never breaking records with a unique song, and by releasing only three proper albums, he is up to an impressive total of nearly If we look at albums specific figures, top songs from the Purpose album moved from 4.
It was helped by tremendous sales in China at 1. Songs from Changes obviously suffer from the market collapse but they are no big smash hits either. The largest seller, Intentions, moved only , copies. Streaming is made up of audio and video streams. Our CSPC methodology includes both to better reflect the real popularity of each track.
The main source of data for each avenue is respectively Spotify and YouTube. In order to account for their real popularity in each relevant country, the below sources have been used along with the mentioned ratios that reflect the market share of each area. Audio Stream value — plays equal 1 album unit Video Stream value — 11, views equal 1 album unit. The punch of the Purpose singles becomes even more obvious here, as the first three singles of this record are responsible for an enormous total of 5.
The later will soon become his 8th song to reach the 1 billion plateau on Spotify. He will become the second artist at this level, tying Post Malone. No other artist has more than 5. Changes songs pop up fairly low in the list. Intentions and Yummy are the 12th and 13th most streamed songs of the artist.
It confirms that low pure sales from this era do not only reflect the market conditions, but also that Changes had nowhere near the impact of Purpose. Being released before the streaming era, Baby displays a rather low million streams on Spotify but a massive 2. Our website provides you a fantastic tool which fetchs updated Spotify streams as you request them , use it to watch these results grow day after day!
For older releases though, they also generate sales of various live, music videos and compilation albums. All those packaging-only records do not create value, they exploit the value originating from the parent studio album of each of its tracks instead. Inevitably, when such compilations are issued, this downgrades catalog sales of the original LP. Thus, to perfectly gauge the worth of these releases, we need to re-assign sales proportionally to its contribution of all the compilations which feature its songs.
The following table explains this method. Due to the dependency of sales of the original studio albums on these releases, they are a key piece of the jigsaw. How to understand this table? In the example of Never Say Never: The Remixes , these figures mean it sold 1,, units worldwide. The second statistics column means all versions of all the songs included on this package add for , equivalent album sales from streams of all types. The second part on the right of the table shows how many equivalent streams are coming from each original album, plus the share it represents on the overall package.
This means it generated , of its 1,, album sales and so forth for the other records. Please note country-specific numbers may miss sales of a few minor releases, although totals are complete. So, after checking all the figures, how many overall equivalent album sales has each album by Justin Bieber achieved? Well, at this point we hardly need to add up all of the figures defined in this article!
In the following results table, all categories display figures in equivalent album sales. If different, pure sales are listed between parentheses. See where the artist ranks among remaining singers. And there we have it! It stands at Under the Mistletoe continues to grow and is poised to do so again with the Christmas season approaching, it moved 4.
Often labeled as a flop upon release, Believe is now up to 9. Purpose is up to a massive Changes is struggling to climb really high. With these tracks and a great catalog traction, the singer still increase his career tally by 9 million in 14 months in spite of an underperforming LP. Those songs are so strong that even without album sales to account for they still break the 20 million overall figure. The career total of over The list is compiled in album equivalent sales generated by each song.
Therefore, these figures are not merged units of singles formats. Ludacris — Baby [My Worlds] — 6,, 2. Justin Bieber — Despacito [Orphan] — 2,, 6.
