Published: Apr 24 2026

After his triumphant comeback weekends at Coachella, Justin Bieber seems to have regained the throne of the music world. His success is undeniable, with his tracks streaming on various platforms and setting new records. For the first time, the 'Baby' hitmaker has soared to 125 million monthly listeners on Spotify, making him the fourth artist to achieve this feat. These impressive figures highlight the resurgence of the Grammy winner's music catalogue, which includes 'Stay' and 'Beauty and a Beat'. Not to be overlooked, 20 classic tracks are returning to global charts.

But there's another remarkable milestone that the 32-year-old has achieved. On April 15th, he drew in an astonishing 100 million-plus streams in a single day. This shocking surge in streaming pushed his ranking to second globally, just behind Bruno Mars. However, on Spotify's list of most-streamed artists of all time, the Canadian singer has left Mars far behind, ranking at #7 compared to Mars' #14.

The organisers of Coachella were fined for violating a city of Indio rule on time limits during Justin Bieber's performance. The rule is simple: by 1 a.m., the performances must end, which is set for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday at midnight. Unfortunately for Bieber, he was just over 2 minutes late, resulting in a $20,000 fine.

Despite the setback, Justin Bieber's return to the music scene has been nothing short of remarkable. With his impressive streaming numbers and fan support, it's clear that he's still got what it takes to reign supreme in the world of music.
