Career highlights: Justin Bieber has won two Grammy Awards, one Latin Grammy Award, eight Juno Awards, two Brit Awards, 21 Billboard Music Awards, 18 American Music Awards, 21 MTV Europe Music Awards (the most by any artist), 23 Teen Choice Awards (the most won by a male artist) and 33 Guinness World Records.
Why Justin Bieber is one of the most-streamed: Justin Bieber was one of the biggest heartthrobs in music history when he began his career with the song “Baby,” which became one of the highest certified singles of all time in the U.S. His studio album, “My World,” debuted at the top of the U.S. Billboard 200, making him the youngest solo male act to top the chart in 47 years. His second solo album, “Under the Mistletoe,” in 2011, became the first Christmas album by a male artist to debut at No. 1 in the U.S. In fact, Bieber became the first artist in history with five U.S. No. 1 albums at age 18.
However, Bieber was involved with controversy and legal issues, thus, hurting his image. Still, as Bieber grew into adulthood, he managed to successfully reinvent himself, and the hits kept coming with different genres and collaborations. For instance, he earned a Latin Grammy Award with “Despacito,” and he won the Grammy Award for Best Country Duo/Group Performance with Dan + Shay for “10,000 Hours.” Indeed, this multitalented performer continues to roll out hits much like he did at the start of his career.
