With sales of over 150 million records, Bieber is one of the world's best-selling music artists.

Following the release of Changes in February 2020, the 25-year-old became the youngest artist to have seven albums reach the top spot on the Billboard Hot 200, breaking the recordonce held by a 26-year-old Elvis Presley.
