Bieber Fever to sweep the UK
Amanda Briggs | Saturday, 20 November 2010
A platinum selling global star, Justin Bieber has fast become a teen icon. His debut single, 'One Time', was released in 2009 and was followed by his debut album, My World, which was certified platinum in the US.
Bieber was the first ever artist to have seven songs from a debut album chart on the Billboard Hot 100. My World 2.0, was released in March and has spawned the massive top ten singles 'Baby' and 'Eenie Meenie'. His new album, My Worlds - The Collection, is out in the UK on 22nd November.
Bieber was discovered after posting dozens of home-made videos on YouTube in 2007, putting his impeccable spin on songs from artists like Ne-Yo and Stevie Wonder. He racked up over 10,000,000 views purely from word of mouth and at just 13 years of age, Usher bought him to the attention of Island Records who signed him immediately.
This will be the first time the 16-year-old sensation has toured the UK. Tickets go on general sale from 9am Friday 19th November.
