Canadian pop sensation Justin Bieber has broken several long-standing Billboard records following the release of his seventh studio album, Swag.
The 30-year-old singer, who recently became a father, made a powerful return to the spotlight, and his latest project is already making waves across the global music scene.
Bieber released Swag just months after he and his wife, Hailey, welcomed their first child, Jack Blues. The album, a celebration of fatherhood, features a personal touch; its cover art includes a heartwarming photo of Justin, Hailey, and baby Jack. The release quickly drew attention, and this week, the numbers have spoken.
Justin Bieber’s ‘Swag’ makes history
According to Billboard, Swag made a historic debut, placing 16 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The lead single, Daisies, landed at number 2, earning Bieber his 27th career top 10 entry on the prestigious chart. This milestone ties him with Janet Jackson as the 10th artist with the most top 10 hits in Billboard Hot 100 history.
But the achievements didn’t stop there.
With these new entries, Bieber has now surpassed Chris Brown to become the male artist with the most songs ever to appear on the Billboard Hot 100. He now holds a record 121 total entries on the chart, a feat that places him among the all-time greats in pop music.
In another impressive accomplishment, Bieber became the first artist ever to debut at number 2 on both the Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard 200 charts at the same time. His album Swag launched at number 2 on the Billboard 200, while its lead single Daisies premiered at number 2 on the Hot 100. No artist in history has achieved this exact pairing before.
Music analysts say the strong debut of Swag reflects not just Bieber’s consistent popularity but also his ability to evolve as an artist. The album explores themes of love, growth, and parenthood, marking a new chapter in Bieber’s career and personal life.
Meanwhile, another artist is also making Billboard history.
Teddy Swims’ emotional ballad Lose Control has now spent an unprecedented 100 weeks on the Billboard Hot 100. The track, which peaked at number 1, remains in the chart’s top 10, a rare achievement in today’s fast-moving music industry.
Swims’ success highlights the lasting power of well-crafted songwriting and authentic emotional delivery. Industry watchers say the song’s longevity is a sign that audiences are craving deeper, more heartfelt music in the current pop landscape.
