Justin Bieber Hits 2 Billion - yes, 2 BILLION! - YouTube Views

Justin Bieber is not even a legal adult yet, but he has managed to dominate the world of the popular social media site of YouTube. The young singer’s music videos are very popular on the site and continue to rake in thousands of hits everyday. He has just surpassed the 2 billion mark with the number of views to his various videos. The 17-year-old star got his start on YouTube and has managed to rake in the hits. His closest competitor is the ultra-famous, Lady Gaga who is about 200,000 views shy of Justin’s latest record.

The Biebs has his very own channel on the social site, like most celebrities. More than one million people subscribe to his channel for regular updates. Justin is the first person in the world to reach such a staggering figure. Lady Gaga may have beaten him to the 1 billion mark, but Justin has quickly shown the world he is not going to fade away as he matures. He is only getting stronger.

His social-networking  presence is a force to be reckoned with. He has close to 14 million followers on Twitter, which is a large number, but not nearly as large as his social-networking  nemesis, Lady Gaga who has more than 15 million. Justin’s Facebook page has another 37 million fans. Again, a massive following, but he is still eclipsed by several other music stars.

Justin owes his new YouTube record to the recent release of his “Mistletoe” video, which has already amassed 27 million views since its debut over a week ago. Justin owes his success to YouTube. He was “discovered” after his mother uploaded the then 12-year-old Justin singing various songs. His first song, “Baby” still holds the record for the most number of views with 650 million. In the last month alone, Justin’s channel has had more than 94 million views! Beliebers cannot get enough of the Canadian cutie.

Justin’s highly anticipated Christmas album drops tomorrow, November 1st. His YouTube numbers will certainly skyrocket as fans clamor to see their favorite baby faced singer getting into the holiday spirit.

Bieber Hit Baby Leads in Youtube Views

The song with the most Youtube views is Bieber's hit Baby, featuring Ludacris; that song now has more than 650,000,000 views on its own. Lady Gaga's biggest performer is Bad Romance with 425,000,000 views. Other high performing Bieber songs include his One Time and Never Say Never, the version featuring Jaden Smith is the biggest performer. His recently released song 'Mistletoe' got nearly 20,000,000 views in its first week online.

Rihanna is 3rd in Youtube views (1.7 billion), Eminem 4th (1.5) and Shakira 5th (1,2 billion).

Exciting Times for Justin Bieber

In all comes about in the midst of lots of stuff happening for the singer, he's got his Christmas album, 'Under the Mistletoe' out November 1, in a few days he's off to a ceremony in London, England, where he'll switch on Christmas lights and play a few songs and he's working on a studio album called 'Believe,' a follow-up to first full-length studio offering, 'My World 2,0.'
It's not likely he's gonna miss the occasion of 2 billion YouTube views but did not immediately write on his twitter page on it. He's the leader in YouTube views with Lady Gaga, who has 1,883,101,471 views, in second place. Gaga beat Bieber to 1 billion views by a couple of weeks at this time last year but has since fallen behind. So in a year Bieber managed another billion views.
