So who are the biggest fans of Justin Bieber worldwide? Not the USA or Canada. Not even a European country or Australia. It is the Philippines! Yes, the Philippines!
I was just doing some surfing online today and came across something very interesting. Google has a service called Google Trends that allow you to see what topics are being searched and how they are performing in terms of popularity. So of course I had to enter in “Justin Bieber” to see how popular this topic is on Google.(Google Trends)
The graph shows that Justin’s popularity took off around May-June of 2009 and has since seen a solid climb in internet popularity. But what’s most interesting is the information below the graph. It shows that the Philippines, on average, are more aware and interested in Justin than any other country, followed by Canada, the US, and Netherlands. What a surprise right?
In terms of cities of the world, Justin seems to be most searched by residents of Makati, Philippines, beating out Toronto, Richardson Texas, Montreal and Chicago. Can someone from Makati please explain to me why Justin is so popular there? Justin is such a popular search term from that city that it helped lift Tagalog (Philippine’s language) as the most used language in terms of search engine interest.
Crazy right? Just an interesting discovery about Justin I thought I should share with you. Are any of you surprised as I am? I swear my friends and I are the biggest Justin Drew Bieber fans in the world. I swear!
Anyways, check out the site link above and click your own country to find out some rather interesting statistics on Bieber Fever.

Bieber may be the newest teen hearthrob singer, but he’s still suffered from a broken heart.
My first crush was when I was 13, in my little town in Canada,” the 15-year-old tells UsMagazine.com. “You know, it was one of those little crushes you have when you’re younger. I asked her out and she said no.”
Would she regret it now that Bieber’s first few singles have debuted on the Billboard charts?
“She might — probably for the wrong reasons,” Bieber tells Us.
Bieber has paired up with 1-800-Flowers.com to create a “One Less Lonely Girl” (inspired by his song of the same name) bouquet for Valentine’s Day. Who would he send it to?
“I would send it to my momma,” the singer — who will be performing on the holiday — tells Us.
But he does have one celeb crush: Beyonce!
“I met her at the VMAs. I went up to her, said ‘I love your music,’ and she said, ‘Aww, you’re so cute,'” Bieber tells Us. “She’s gorgeous.”
You guys in the Los Angeles area are in luck. Justin Bieber is having a live performance of his newest hit “Baby”. And the best part is that it’s FREE!! So jealous. Remember to go early.
Starts at 3PM Saturday Feb 13th at the Nokia Plaza.
Teen singing sensation Justin Bieber is teaming up with 1-800-Flowers.com to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Not only did the 15-year-old pop sensation help create the “One Less Lonely Girl” floral arrangement based on his hit song for the holiday, but Justin is also planning to do a meet and greet with the winner of 1-800-Flowers.com’s sweepstakes. Here’s what Justin revealed to Star about his V-Day plans and what he is looking for in a girl.
Do you have a date for Valentine’s Day?I will actually be performing in Los Angeles. No date, just performing.
What is your ideal girl like? The two qualities she has to have are, one, she has to make me laugh because I like a sense of humor and I like to laugh. And two, I also like a girl who is smart so we can carry on a conversation.
What would be your ideal date? As long as she is happy, I am happy. Whatever she wants to do, I am down for. I would want her to tell me what she wants to do and then I will plan it.
Do you have a favorite song you would sing to her? I don’t really sing to girls on dates. Sorry to disappoint you.
What’s up next for you professionally?I have been in the recording studio working on some new material so that has been keeping me busy.
Do you write your own songs? Yes. I also co-write with a great group of people too. I get a lot of inspiration from Michael Jackson and I also liked Boyz II Men growing up.
Would you ever want to try your hand at acting? I just did a guest spot on the show True Jackson and appeared in the movie School Girls for Nickelodeon. The movie is about a group of dancers that have a beef with another group of dancers. It was a lot of fun to film.
