Ever since he’s transitioned from Internet sensation (his song “Baby” alone has had over 791 million YouTube views!) to internationally recognized, teenage heartthrob, girls-screaming-everywhere-he-roams real life musical sensation, Justin Bieber has unleashed an industrial strength strain of “Bieber Fever” throughout the world. We know the songs, love the clothes, and don’t even get us started on the HAIR! However, despite his major star power, there are still some fun celebrity facts about the Biebs that just may surprise you. Did you know:
He’s a self-taught musician: Think that Justin was born to be a star? You just may be right – the teenager taught himself how to play piano, trumpet and guitar.
He had two mega-stars trying to sign him: That’s right – both Usher and another Justin you just may have heard of (Timberlake!) were both working with Justin to sign them to their labels. Ultimately, Usher proved the better persuader; Biebs signed with Def Jam at the tender age of 14.
He holds some pretty impressive records: To date, Justin’s video “Baby” is the most viewed YouTube video of all time. However, that’s not the only impressive record of distinction this teenager holds. After signing with Def Jam, the singer earned the previously unheard of honor of being the first solo artist to have four releases enter the Top 40 before his debut LP even dropped. Additionally, his holiday album titled “Under the Mistletoe” became the first male artist Christmas release to debut in the top spot AND he’s also the first solo artist to release three No.1 albums before he turned 18. Talk about an over-achiever!
He’s a major social media presence: While he still trails Lady Gaga, the reigning Twitter queen, Bieb’s followers (an army of fans totaling more than 29,000,000!) places him firmly in second place. On Facebook he holds a respectable #8 place but has even more followers (more than 47,000,000 total). No matter how you look at it, this teen sensation holds some significant social media clout.
He gives back in all kinds of ways: Finally, and most importantly, despite his young age, Justin Bieber has an impressively heightened sense of social obligation. He contributes both his time as well as financially to a wide range of charities and causes to make a difference. He even takes time out of his busy schedule to meet with some of his youngest superfans who are struggling with life threatening illnesses. In short, this superstar uses his superpowers for good!
