Who doesn’t love a great comeback? Our favorite reformed bad boy, Justin Bieber, has scored his first Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 with his breezy new single, “What Do You Mean?“, making him the youngest male artist to debut at the top of the chart. After a full week of holding down the No. 1 spot on iTunes in too many countries to count, as well as breaking the Spotify record for most streams in a week, the single skyrocketed to the top spot on the Hot 100, dethroning The Weeknd‘s “Cant Feel My Face”.

Looks like we did it 😁😁😁😁😁 thank you so much billboard number 1
