Justin Bieber’s Apple Music Run

Justin Bieber’s 2012 single “Beauty and a Beat,” featuring Nicki Minaj, spent nine straight days at No. 1 on Apple Music’s global songs chart after his April 2026 Coachella set. (forbes.com) Forbes reported the song debuted at No. 1 on the Worldwide Apple Music Song Chart after Bieber’s performance, which included a nostalgia-heavy stretch built around older hits. A social post tracking the run said the streak reached nine days and drew about 1,900 likes. (forbes.com) (x.com) The rebound was not limited to Apple Music. Official Charts said “Beauty and a Beat” re-entered the United Kingdom singles chart at No. 11 on April 17, 2026, a new peak for the track 14 years after release. (officialcharts.com) The run added to a broader Coachella bump for Bieber’s catalog. Forbes, citing preliminary Luminate data, said his music was streamed 24.6 million times in the United States on April 12, up 54% from April 11 and 74% from April 10. (forbes.com) “Beauty and a Beat” first arrived in 2012 on Bieber’s album *Believe*, with Nicki Minaj credited as the featured artist and co-writer alongside Max Martin, Zedd and Savan Kotecha. Apple Music lists the track at 3 minutes and 47 seconds. (music.apple.com) (wikipedia.org) The renewed chart life fits a pattern in streaming, where festival sets, viral clips and fan-made posts can push older songs back into daily rankings within hours. In Bieber’s case, Official Charts said the Coachella performance also lifted “DAISIES” and put “Baby” back in contention for a fresh chart return. (officialcharts.com) Apple Music’s global chart is a daily ranking, so staying at No. 1 for more than a week points to repeat listening across multiple markets, not just a one-day spike. Third-party chart tracker Kworb showed “Beauty and a Beat” at No. 1 on Apple Music in dozens of countries while also reaching No. 1 on its worldwide Apple Music view. (kworb.net) Fourteen years after release, the song’s latest run turned a Coachella throwback into a current chart story, with Bieber and Minaj’s catalog hit performing like a new release for at least nine days.
