For
Justin Bieber
,
Justice
isn’t blind — it’s number one.
The singer’s latest album,
Justice
, has become
his eighth chart-topper
on the
Billboard
200, with first week sales of 154,000 units. That’s the second biggest debut week, sales-wise, for an album released in 2021, after embattled country star
Morgan Wallen
‘s
Dangerous
.
Justice
knocks
Dangerous
out of the number-one spot after 10 straight weeks.
According to
Billboard
, Justin, who’s 27 years and one month old, is now the youngest solo artist ever to have eight number-one albums. He was also the youngest to have seven.
Elvis Presley
previously held both records until Justin broke them.
All of Justin’s ten charted albums have now made the top 10. He’s only missed the top spot twice: with his
My World
EP, which reached number five in 2010, and
My Worlds Acoustic
, which hit number seven later that same year.
Justice
has so far spun off four hit singles: “Holy,” “Lonely,” “Anyone” and “Hold On.” The next one to chart will likely be his most recent release, “Peaches.”
Justin’s most recent number-one album was
Changes
, released in February of 2020.
