Justin Bieber strengthens ‘daisies’, but ‘swag’ is not No. 1 in the USA or UK

‘Daisies’ is officially a new success for Justin Bieber, as they anticipated their initial reproductions. After debuting in Spotify global number 1, ‘Daisies’ holds the second position of the list a week later, adding about 53 million views. As for the rest of the ‘swag’ tracks, Solo ‘Yukon’ remains within the global top 50, in 44th place.

According to the first estimates, the so -called “Midweeks”, ‘Daisies’ will debut in number 1 of the United States singles list, where it is still positioned in number 1 of Spotify. Today it will be known if ‘Daisies’ exceeds the listening of the current number 1 in the country, ‘ordinary’ by Alex Warren.

As for final results, ‘Daisies’ enters the number 4 of the United Kingdom, but does not achieve number 1 in any official market. It is more or less close in Australia (3) and New Zealand (2).

‘Swag’, the album, does not reach the number 1 of albums in the United States, but in Austria, Belgium, Norway and Switzerland. In the United Kingdom, the data of ‘daisies’ equals and remains at number 4.

During the United States data, ‘Swag’ officially debuts in number 2 of Billboard 200 with 163,000 equivalent units: 199 million streaming views and 6,000 pure sales (digital downloads, since it is not yet available in physical format; it will be put on sale in December).

Justin Bieber’s main competitor on the lists has been Travis Scott, which leads with the second volume of his Jackboys project, which enters directly into the number 1 of Billboard 200 with 232,000 equivalent units, promoted by 95 million streams and impressive 160,000 pure sales. Unlike ‘Swag,’ Jackboys 2 ‘has been edited in different versions in CD, vinyl and digital since its launch day, so it has left with advantage.

‘Swag’ marks the first time since 2009 that an official album by Justin Bieber does not debut in number 1 of Billboard 200, with the only exception of ‘Journals’ (2013), a digitally released mixtape whose downloads were not reported to Nielsen Soundscan (although he had edition in vinyl in 2016). Both ‘Justice’ (2021) and ‘Changes’ (2020), their two previous albums, did achieve the highest debut despite having launched a year apart. ‘Swag’ is Bieber’s first album in 4 years.
