Is Justin Bieber Coming To A City Near You?
Whenever Justin Bieber arrives on the scene, screams of adoration and out-of-this-world exhilaration aren’t too far behind and not just from pre-teen and teenage girls. It seems that members of the fairer sex in every age group have developed a bit of Biebermania. Life hasn’t always been this crazy for Justin Bieber. At one time, he was a pretty normal pre-teen living at home with his mother in Stratford, Ontario. A smooth, polished voice and a well-known social networking website, Youtube (you may have heard of it) changed all of that. He went from being an unknown to one of the world’s biggest pop stars.
“There are other artists who have platforms and then get to the musical space,” Island Def Jam Music Group (IDJMG) president/COO Steve Bartels says. “Yes, Justin is a phenom, but it’s really backed up. He’s got that viral cachet right now, but what he stands for is music. We’re keeping our fingers crossed, but we think we have something here that has incredible longevity.”
Justin Beiber’s first album, “My World” has been a huge success, especially considering the epidemic of weak record sales that have hit the industry, courtesy of, in part, illegal downloading and file sharing. “My World” reached number 6 on the Billboard 200 charts and sold 137,000 copies its first week out. It has since gone Platinum (over 1 million albums sold). His individual tracks have sold more then 3 times that figure.
Insanely popular, listeners warmed up to Bieber immediately, even before his first record dropped. He holds the distinction of being the first artist ever to have four singles reach the Top 40 prior to them releasing their first album.
To satisfy his fans, Bieber is hitting the road, performing live in concert, all over the United States. Interested in attending? Check here for dates and locations: Justin Bieber Concert Tickets
