More Than A Pretty Face
Measuring by album sales, Bieber is already more popular than the Jonas Brothers, 'NSync or New Kids on the Block were at the same point in their careers. His mentor, Usher calls him "the beginning of a new generation of artists," but Bieber himself is simply grateful for what's already happened. "I feel like I just won the lotto," he says.

Reaching Out
Bieber has maintained close contact with his fans. He addresses his fans by name and even with 2.2 million Twitter followers responds to fans' questions and retweets their greetings.

Out There
The young phenom's videos were noticed by a manager in Atlanta, Scooter Braun, in 2007. By using YouTube and social networking sites, they were able to build a substantial fan base before ever releasing a song or disc.

Rock On
Bieber's concerts tend to draw hordes of screaming, crying girls, inspiring headlines like "Bieber Fever" and "Biebermania."

Commitment
The young star emerged almost out of nowhere. In 2007, when Justin was 12 years old, his mother began to post videos of his musical performances on YouTube. They were so good that strangers started watching and within months he had a loyal audience of thousands.

Audience Reaction
Most of Bieber's fans are his age, and younger. His shows, like this one at New York City's Highline Ballroom, are regularly sold out.

Shooting Star
Even before the release of first disc in November 2009, 16-year-old Justin Bieber was a huge star. By that time, he already had 50 million YouTube subscribers and was one of the most discussed topics on Twitter.
