Justin Bieber climbs global charts

Justin Bieber’s April 11 Coachella set sent eight older songs onto Billboard’s global charts dated April 25 for the first time. (forbes.com) (billboard.com) The biggest mover was “Beauty and a Beat,” featuring Nicki Minaj, which debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard Global 200. “Baby,” featuring Ludacris, entered at No. 26, and “Confident,” featuring Chance the Rapper, arrived at No. 36. (billboard.com) Other catalog songs making first-time appearances on the global chart this week included “Love Yourself” at No. 43, “Eenie Meenie” at No. 54, “What Do You Mean?” at No. 63, and “That Should Be Me” at No. 94. Forbes reported “Never Say Never” also reached one of Billboard’s global tallies.

U.S. chart uses the same inputs but removes U.S. activity. (billboard.com 1) (billboard.com 2) The jump followed a much larger surge in Bieber’s U.S. catalog listening. Billboard said his solo catalog drew 160.2 million chart-contributing on-demand official U.S. streams in the April 10-16 tracking week, up 172% from 58.8 million a week earlier. (billboard.com) That same tracking week also pushed older Bieber songs back onto the Hot 100. “Beauty and a Beat” re-entered at No. 26 and “Baby” returned at No. 47, each appearing there for the first time since their original runs more than a decade ago. (billboard.com) Billboard said Bieber placed 17 songs on the Global 200 after Coachella, mixing older hits with newer material from 2025. His chart-history page now lists 64 songs that have reached the Global 200, including two No. 1s. (billboard.com 1) (billboard.com 2) The chart rebound adds to a broader post-Coachella boost for Bieber’s catalog and albums. Billboard previously reported that his April 18 performance would feed into the next chart cycle, which means the April 25 global entries may not be the last wave from the festival. (billboard.com)
