Pop’s Justin Bieber is proving his potency with comeback LP ‘Purpose.’
Having already birthed chart-topping smash ‘What Do You Mean?, the LP has just scored another with its follow-up ‘Sorry.’
Details below…
The melodic jam unseats Adele‘s huge hit ‘Hello’ on the Billboard Hot 100, ending the ’25’ track’s 10-week reign atop of the coveted tally.
Bieber achieves the feat after seeing the song notch eight total, and seven consecutive, weeks at #2.
Interestingly, the track becomes the 21-year-old’s second consecutive #1 and second ever chart-topper on the tally after waiting more than six years (and 46 entries) for his first (‘What Do You Mean?’ shattered that glass ceiling in September).
Already a digital and radio monster, ‘Sorry’s climb was aided by another 20 million US on-demand streams this week, as well as 145 million audience impressions on the airwaves. On the sales front, it’s already a Platinum certified smash but it shifted another 128,000 units over the last seven days.
Fun Fact: ‘Sorry’ ties OutKast’s 2004 hit ‘The Way You Move’ with eight total weeks at #2 before hitting the top of the Hot 100.
With ‘Love Yourself’ racing its way up the charts, is Bieber about to make it three consecutive #1’s? Stay tuned!

Justin’s may jar many (and the density of his talent may be questionable), but there’s no denying that he has been bringing the bops this go round. So, even if from a song perspective alone, congrats a definitely due.
