Justin Bieber Dominated April 2010

May 4, 2010

A 16 year-old who can barely drive has the most watched video for the month of April.
With the help of rapper Ludacris, Justin Bieber has accumulated more than 55.25 million views for his hit song, “Baby,” throughout the entire web.

*Yawn*

Not impressed? We should note that the official music video for “Baby” was uploaded over two months ago to video behemoth Vevo/YouTube, and it doesn’t even crack the top 100 of April views for YouTube.

So how did Justin Bieber get those 55.25 million views? Two reasons:

There are multiple copies of the same video on sites like YouTube. All the views that should be going to the official video are instead spread out throughout the other uploaded versions. Imagine a new Starbucks store taking away the market share from the older Starbucks across the street.

The video has a reach that extends beyond YouTube. Yes, there are other video sites on the Internet aside from YouTube, and they’re gaining views for Justin Bieber’s dancing and singing abilities. Apparently, the music consuming youth still use sites like MTV.com and MySpace.

If that doesn’t impress you, then this might: Justin Bieber has made a total of four music videos. All four videos are in April’s top 10 list of most watched videos.

Whether you like him or not, Justin Bieber is taking over the Internet.

Justin Bieber youngest ever to top Billboard for more than one week

April 15, 2010

Justin‘s My World 2.0 returned to #1 on The Billboard 200, replacing Usher’s Raymond V Raymond, which debuted in the top spot last week, reports Yahoo! Justin is the youngest male solo artist ever to top the chart for two or more weeks. Ricky Nelson was 17 in 1958 when he topped the chart for two weeks with Ricky. Stevie Wonder’s Little Stevie Wonder/ The 12 Year Old Genius, released in 1963 when he was 13, managed just one week on top.

My World 2.0 has sold 676,000 copies in its first three weeks. It took Justin’s My World EP seven weeks to sell that many copies. My World 2.0 has sold more copies in three weeks than Jonas Brothers’ latest studio album, Lines, Vines And Trying Times, has sold in its entire run. Jonas Brothers’ album has sold 635,000 copies since its release in June. ‘Baby’ has sold 1,525,000 digital copies and ‘One Time’ has sold 1,815,000 copies in the past 40 weeks.
