Justin Bieber has had a roller coaster of a life so far. He went from being a global sensation at a very young age, to being hated by many, only to be loved again at his maturity. He had his fair share of hollywood bloopers and controversies as well. Despite all of these he has made a mark in pop music. These are some of his best songs:
1. Baby
This is a no brainer. Baby is the song that put Justin in the spotlight. Released as the lead single for album, My World 2.0, Baby is now synonymous to Justin himself. The single debuted at number five in Billboard Hot 100.
2. One Time
Released during his adolescent years as well, One Time is the debut song of the Canadian Artist. At first, it was broadcasted on mainstream radio in 2009, from there it became a global sensation. The song is moderately paced hip-hop and pop and themed about young love.
3. As Long as You Love Me
Produced during his teenage years, the song greatly defines Justin’s maturing voice. As Long as You Love Me was the lead single to his third album, Believe (2012). Since then it peaked at number six in Billboard Hot 100.
4. Somebody to Love
Featuring the soul-singer Usher, Somebody to Love was released in 2010. The song was an upbeat dance-pop song, with the legendary Usher doing background vocals. The single peaked at number fifteen in Billboard Hot 100.
5. Beauty and a Beat
The song featured Nicki Minaj, and was released in his third album Believe. The track was co-written by Nicki Minaj, Savan Kotecha, Max Martin and Zedd. It was heavily downloaded upon release as the track is truly upbeat with a hint of house music. The single peaked at number five in Hot 100.
6. Boyfriend
This one’s really famous. It was a track with Bieber stretching his vocal chords as he sung in falsetto. Released in 2012, the track peaked at number two in Hot 100. The song is R&B influenced that features pop beats. The musical video is wonderful, too. It was during this time that Biebs was dropping his boyish look.
7. Sorry
After a few years of rough publicity and staleness, Justin rocked the entire world with his newest album, Purpose. Being hated by many because of his douchey acts, the album revived Bieber’s stardom and bred a new fandom. With a different genre than his previous albums, Purpose is a fresh experience. Sorry was produced by Skrillex and Blood, and incorporated tropical house music. The song topped the charts for weeks, with it being number one in Billboard Hot 100 for 3 weeks.
8. What Do You Mean?
Another Purpose track in the list, What Do You Mean is as famous as Sorry. Sharing the same genre as that of Sorry and the rest of the Purpose song, the track has a pop and tropical house feel. Its iconic sound is a ticking clock, and it is heard all throughout the song.
9. Love Yourself
Released first as a promotional single, it was later announced as Purpose’s third single. Written by Ed Sheeran, Benny Blanco and Bieber, the song is an enchanting acoustic pop song. The track featured an electric guitar and trumpets, giving the acoustic pop love song a fresh feel. Undoubtedly, the song topped the charts for weeks. Also, the single was named the “best performing single of 2016” and was nominated for two Grammys. Impressive, Justin.
10. Where are U Now?
Produced by Skrillex and Diplo, the track was actually a collaboration with Justin Bieber. One of the first songs of Justin to have an EDM feel, Where Are U Now suddenly became a sensation. The single peaked at number 8 in Hot 100 and won a Grammy for Best Dance Recording. An acoustic version of the song is as wonderful as well.
