Justin Bieber can say "Oh Baby!" one billion times. The 19-year-old singer's debut hit single "Baby" (feat. Ludacris) has reached an insane one billion views on VEVO, making it the video streaming site's most-viewed clip of all time.
The one billion view mark comes less than a week before Bieber's 20th birthday on March 1, which was the ultimate goal of his super-dedicated Belieber fanbase, according to Popdust. Beliebers wanted to shy the media away from some of Bieber's less-impressive headlines and make the star break this record while still in his teens, something he hopefully appreciates.
This makes Bieber's "Baby" as the only clip to be 10 times Certified on VEVO and launches him heaps and bounds beyond other artists. (For each million view, VEVO certifies the clip, not unlike receiving a platinum certification from the RIAA.)
Though "Baby" is Bieber's only billion video, it's nowhere near his only VEVO certified clip. "Never Say Never," "One Time," "Somebody To Love," "Never Let You Go," "One Less Lonely Girl" and "Love Me" were all apart of VEVO's initial Certified class in June 2012 (alongside "Baby"). Bieber has added to those seven tracks with "Mistletoe," "Boyfriend," "Beauty and a Beat" and "As Long As You Love Me," marking his VEVO Certified total at a crazy 11 videos.
Meanwhile, over the weekend, Bieber dropped a new song "Broken," as he attempts to make the transition from teen pop idol to bona fide adult superstar.
