Kapanlagi.com - Billboard has just revealed the list of Greatest Pop Stars of 2025 Honourable Mentions, which includes the name Justin Bieber. Although he has not dominated the industry throughout the entire year, this singer is considered to have successfully kept his name relevant. This proves that Bieber's star power is still very strong in the eyes of international music observers.
After choosing to stay inactive in the music world for three years, the Canadian singer made a surprising comeback in July. Through his latest album titled SWAG, he transformed his music from energetic pop to a more R&B vibe leaning towards indie. This major project contains 21 songs that showcase his musical maturity after a long hiatus from studio recordings.
Bieber collaborated with several cross-genre collaborators such as Grammy-nominated producers Dijon, Mk.gee, and Carter Lang to realize his vision in SWAG. The release strategy, which took place just a day after the official announcement, proved to be very effective for the success of the album. Positive responses from fans and critics quickly flowed in after the latest work was released to the global market. Check out the complete explanation below.

Justin Bieber launched the SWAG album in July 2025 after disappearing from the music scene for the past three years. The release of this work was sudden, just one day after the official announcement that surprised many.
The decision to release the album suddenly brought significant profits with the highest total streaming numbers of the singer's career. This album showcases a change in his musical direction, now emphasizing indie R&B vibes rather than the punchy pop songs he was known for.
The SWAG album immediately skyrocketed to the top position on the Billboard Canadian Albums chart right after it was released to the public. The presence of this album even displaced Morgan Wallen's I’M THE PROBLEM from the top spot.
Although it held the throne for a week, this achievement has not surpassed the record set by the JUSTICE album. The 2021 release was noted to have stayed at number one for five consecutive weeks on the charts.

Two hit singles titled DAISIES and YUKON have managed to become long-lasting hits in the music markets of the United States and Canada. The song YUKON even made it onto the list of songs that define this year according to the official assessment from Billboard Canada.
The success of these songs has led Justin Bieber and his collaborators to receive a total of four nominations at the prestigious Grammy Awards. Some of the categories they achieved include Album of the Year, Pop Vocal Album, and Pop Solo Performance.
The lyrics in the SWAG album provide a glimpse into Bieber's mental state and well-being after being negatively portrayed by the tabloid media for a long time. He expressed that he is now focused and serious about running his business or affairs through an iconic statement included in the album.
Bieber has also begun to venture into the streaming world through the Twitch platform since October to showcase his new personality to viewers. He uses this opportunity to discuss his views on the music industry and even casually cover songs by other legendary musicians.
