Making Waves—and Smiling to the Bank: Justin Bieber’s ‘Swag’ Soars to Billboard No. 2

The news as it trends

At 31 years old, with an estimated net worth of $300 million, Justin Bieber is officially back.

After a 4-year hiatus from studio albums, his surprise release Swag debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, while its lead single “Daisies” also hit No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100.

A No. 2 placement on Billboard means the song and album were the second most popular in the country that week, based on streaming, sales, and radio play.

It’s a major achievement—especially for a comeback project.

“Daisies,” inspired by Bieber’s recent fatherhood, is his 27th career top 10 hit, tying him with Janet Jackson for tenth-most in Billboard history.
