Justin Bieber became a global pop phenomenon with his debut, My World (2009), a multi-platinum smash in the singer’s native Canada and several other territories. Only 15 years old at the time of its release, Bieber was fast-tracked to sustained commercial presence with a remix compilation, an acoustic set, a concert film, and additional studio recordings, including the Grammy-nominated My World 2.0 (2010) and similarly chart-topping Believe (2012), all hitting the market within a three-year period. Bieber’s progress ground to a halt, but he re-emerged with the "tropical house"-flavored Skrillex and Diplo collaboration "Where Are Ü Now" (2015), a Grammy-winner in the dance field, and third proper album Purpose (also 2015), which led to four nominations from Recording Academy voters, including Song of the Year (for "Love Yourself") and Album of the Year. By the end of the 2010s, Bieber had added to his hits as a featured artist with a remix of Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s "Despacito," DJ Khaled’s "I’m the One" and "No Brainer," David Guetta’s "2U," Ed Sheeran’s "I Don’t Care," and Dan + Shay’s "10,000 Hours." His evolution as an R&B-inspired, stylistically flexible pop artist has since continued with the chart-topping Changes (2020).
