Justin Bieber was born on March 1, 1994, in London, Ontario. He was one of the first artists to skyrocket to stardom thanks to Youtube. Bieber would upload song covers on his channel and quickly attracted millions of views.

In 2008, Bieber was discovered by Scooter Braun after coming across one of his videos. Braun was so impressed that he ended up tracking the singer down. That same year, Bieber was signed to Island Records. His debut single “One Time” was released in 2009 and ended up at #17 on the Billboard Hot 100.

It wasn’t long before Justin was invited to perform on shows like The Ellen Degeneres Show and Good Morning America. By the end of the year, he was such a huge star that he performed on Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve. Even the Grammy Awards had taken notice and asked him to present at the 2010 ceremony. That was just the start of how he took over Hollywood and became an international teen pop star.

With the release of “Baby” in 2010, Bieber’s popularity soared even more. The track charted at #5 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and was heard on radio stations all over the globe. Bieber changed music history with the release of his first studio album My World 2.0 (2010), which debuted at #1 on the U.S. Billboard 200. He became the youngest solo male act to top the chart since 1963. The singer became the first solo artist to have 4 singles enter the Top 40 before even releasing a debut album!

In 2011, his biopic/concert film Justin Bieber: Never Say Never became a box office hit and raked in $98 million worldwide. It was clear that “Bieber Fever” and his “Beliebers” weren’t going to slow down anytime soon. All his success earned him a spot on Time Magazine’s 2011 list of 100 most influential people in the world.

Bieber earned his first #1 Billboard Hot 100 single with the release of “What Do You Mean?” in 2015. At the same time, he made a Guinness World Record by becoming the youngest male artist ever to debut at the top of the Billboard chart. It was with the song “Where Are U Now” with Jack U that Bieber won the award for “Best Dance Recording” at the 58th Annual Grammy Awards in 2016.

In the succeeding years, Bieber continued to collaborate with other artists to create record-breaking hits. Among these were “Despacito” with Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee, “I Don’t Care” with Ed Sheeran, and “10,000 Hours” with Dan + Shay. 

In 2020, Bieber’s 10-episode documentary series titled Seasons was released on Youtube. The series became the all-time most-viewed premiere in its first week with 32.65 million views. A month later, his album Changes was released and became his 7th album to debut at #1 on the Billboard 200.

In the same year, Bieber released “Stuck With U” with Ariana Grande, which ended up topping the charts as well. What made this collaboration extra special was that all the net proceeds from the song were donated to the “First Responders Children’s Foundation”, an organization that supports the children of the pandemic’s frontliners. 

At the beginning of 2021, he released the song “Anyone”, and its music video has 53 million views so far. With over 150 million records sold throughout his career and a total of 14 Guinness World Records set, Justin Bieber is one of the biggest names to ever shine in Hollywood.
