@Investment4Adam@stephanieukm@British_Airways I looked up a reward flight to a EU destination and it was going to cost 20,000 avios + £350. I looked up the same flight for paying regularly and it was going to be £150pp. 😫🤯 I really don’t get where folks find the good deals, please share!
The real millennial experience is finally being able to afford VIP tickets and discovering VIP no longer includes the one thing you wanted: meeting the artist.
The Jonas Brothers need to be studied because it doesn’t matter how many shows you go to or how many times you hear the same songs, it will never get old
I really admire how beautifully he remembers Liam. I like how he didn’t divert away from answering truthfully and was straightforward. Almost as if to say, ‘ yes I grieved and this song is for the world to heal along side me.’ Xx
People underestimate Bieber.
He is the most-streamed artist of all time for 14,281,955 Spotify users. Roughly 2% of the entire platform has him at #1 in their library, ranked above every other artist they've ever played. Nobody else clears the number.
He's also the #1 active artist on Spotify right now. 140 million monthly listeners as of this month. Higher than Bruno Mars at 136M. Higher than The Weeknd at 115M. Higher than Drake at 88M. The biggest active number any artist has ever posted on the platform.
Both metrics in the same window. The accumulated loyalty and the present-tense dominance.
The underestimation has a pattern. Every cycle the press declares the run is over. After the 2014 Miami arrest. After the Purpose Tour cancellation in 2017. After the four-year gap following Justice in 2021. The catalog kept compounding plays in the background every single time.
Spotify launched in the US in July 2011. Boyfriend dropped March 2012. Believe in June 2012. Purpose in November 2015. He landed exactly when a generation built their first streaming libraries. Those plays stacked for fifteen years.
Then SWAG dropped as a surprise on July 11, 2025. 198.77 million streams in week one, the biggest career streaming week he had ever posted. Daisies, All I Can Take, Yukon, Go Baby, Things You Do, Butterflies, Way It Is. The entire top 7 of the US Spotify chart on release day, all from one album.
SWAG II followed in September. Combined, the two crossed 1 billion streams in weeks.
The mental model people apply to Bieber is the child star template. Public meltdown, slow fade, residual nostalgia plays. The data shows the opposite. His catalog kept growing through the quiet years and his new music re-activated the loyal cohort the moment it dropped.
The teen Beliebers from 2012 are 28 now. They never deleted the playlist. They just added SWAG to it.
Billie contando toda la experiencia de subir para que Justin le cante OLLG en Coachella:
"Bueno, la perra de Hailey, una canción antes... Antes que nada, Hailey es una muy muy amiga mia, y Justin también lo es. En este punto de mi vida, lo cual es algo ridículamente surrealista de aceptar. Pero cuando él estaba ahí arriba y estaba cantando esas canciones que me cambiaron la vida, yo ya estaba llorando, llorando y llorando y llorando. Y Hailey me dice 'Te voy a hacer subir para ser la One Less Lonely Girl en la próxima canción, okey?', y yo estaba como 'PERDON? No, que vas a? No, vos no. De que estás hablando?', y ella 'Si, te voy a hacer subir, así que prepárate'. Entonces yo me congelé y no sentia ninguna emoción, me quedé paralizada mirando alrededor como 'Alguien escuchó eso?'. Entonces él empezó a cantar One Less Lonely Girl, yo empecé a llorar desconsoladamente, y ella me dijo 'Okey Billie, te voy a hacer subir', yo le dije 'Hailey por favor, veni conmigo', y ella me dijo 'No, yo ya soy la One Less Lonely Girl, dale tenés que ir'. Y la chica que se acercó a ayudarme me dijo 'Okey andá, solo corre al escenario, hacelo por tu cuenta' y yo estaba como 'Nadie me va a llevar? Va a parecer que lo estoy estampando en el escenario como una loca, saltando al escenario con él'. Yo estaba realmente asustada, muy roja y llorando, y me caí de rodillas, me temblaban las rodillas y no podía mirarlo. Me sentí como de 12 años devuelta."

That was the craziest 5 minutes of #ImACeleb in 25 years. I absolutely love the drama of live TV but David and Jimmy are EMBARRASSING themselves. To have Ant & Dec, the unbiased hosts, telling you you’re chatting shit? Pathetic. David is just a massive high school bully
Justin's confidence really went up after week one. Look at him getting all excited out here, actively interacting with the audience and doing high fives.
