Justin Drew Bieber, born on March 1, 1994, is a Canadian singer recognized as a prominent figure in contemporary popular music. He gained international fame in the late 2000s with the release of his debut extended play, My World, in 2009, which established him as a teen idol. Bieber's debut studio album, My World 2.0, released in 2010, topped the US Billboard 200 chart, making him the youngest solo male artist to do so in 47 years. The album’s lead single, Baby, became one of the best selling singles in the United States. His second album, Under the Mistletoe, debuted atop the chart and was noted for being the first Christmas album by a male artist to reach number one. With his third studio album, Believe, and its acoustic re-release, Bieber set a record as the first artist to have five US number-one albums by the age of 18. After navigating personal controversies, he returned to music with the EDM-influenced single Where Are U Now and released the album Purpose in 2015, which produced three US Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles. Bieber also featured on the chart-topping singles I’m the One and Despacito in 2017. His subsequent albums, Changes and Justice, debuted at number one, making him the youngest solo artist with eight US number-one albums. Bieber has sold over 150 million units worldwide and received numerous awards, including two Grammy Awards, eight Juno Awards, and multiple Billboard and American Music Awards. Time magazine named him one of the most influential people in 2011, and Forbes listed him among the top ten most powerful celebrities during 2011 to 2013.
