Justin Bieber continues his reign on the pop charts. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, "Believe Acoustic" will take the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 200 seterusnya week. That makes five chart-toppers for the 18-year-old singer.
The actual figures will be out Wednesday, but Billboard expects the album to alih 100,000 units.
"Believe Acoustic" is a follow-up to 2012's "Believe," which saw Bieber transition from a purely teen sensibility to a lebih adult songwriter and performer (signaled in part sejak the album's guest features: Drake, Big Sean, Ludacris and Nicki Minaj).
The acoustic album doesn't feature any other vocalists.
A newfound confidence has come with Bieber's new maturity. The singer recently expressed his disappointment at not receiving any Grammy nominations for "Believe." In 2011, he was nominated for Best New Artist and Best Pop Vocal Album (for "My World 2.0").

There's certainly a case for Bieber's Grammy pitch. Consider this: Not only is Bieber a credited writer on every track on "Believe" (and, thus, "Believe Acoustic"), he's also credited as a producer. As a multi-instrumentalist, Bieber's known for bringing quite a bit to the studio process. Which is to say, he's bringing quite a bit lebih than Rihanna, who neither plays any instruments nor contributes any meaningful Penulisan to her albums. Rihanna has won six Grammys. Britney Spears has won one Grammy and been nominated eight times.
So, what say you, dear reader? bieber should atleast be nominated for BELIEVE ALBUM
