Justin Bieber scored a new milestone after his song "Ghost" conquered Billboard's Pop Airplay chart again.
In a report shared by music and entertainment magazine, it confirmed that Bieber's "Ghost" scored No. 1 on the chart's ranking on February 26. It officially became his 10th Pop Airplay No. 1, beating Bruno Mars who was previously crowned as the most no. 1 Pop Airplay since its launch in October 1992.
Meanwhile, he became the fourth artist to have a double-digit total on the list, following Maroon 5, Katy Perry, and Rihanna. The aforesaid musicians now have 11 records each.
It is indeed a massive new milestone for Bieber, especially since the MRC Data hailed "Ghost" after tabulating the Pop Airplay chart's total weekly plays from 150 mainstream top 40 stations.
Before "Ghost," Bieber already reached No. 1 with his other songs. In October 2015, his "What Do You Mean" stayed at No. 1 for two weeks. A few months later, "Sorry" ranked first before "Love Yourself," "Cold water," "Despacito," "I Don't Care," "Intentions," "Peaches," and "Stay," came thereafter.
The new feat was commendable, especially since Bieber reached the mark despite his recent COVID-19 diagnosis.
What Happened to Justin Bieber?
Bieber's "Ghost" milestone came after his representative revealed that he tested positive for COVID-19.
On Saturday, PEOPLE reported that the "Yummy" singer postponed his "Justice World Tour" in Las Vegas and rescheduled it for June 28.
"Due to positive COVID results within the Justice Tour family, we will, unfortunately, have to postpone Sunday's show in Las Vegas," the statement read. "Justin is, of course, hugely disappointed, but the health and safety of his crew and fans is always his number one priority."
It has been a huge blow to Bieber, though, as he waited two years to relaunch the show after postponing it in March 2020. Though he needs to focus on recovering, Bieber still got the original schedule and promised to visit 20 different countries in 13 months.
Fans then took their time to send him heartwarming well wishes and messages, saying they would wait for him until he is well enough to perform again.
One said, "Get well soon Justin Bieber. You have always been a fighter so I know you will recover fast. Love you so much.
"get well soon @justinbieber you mean a lot to us but remember your health always comes first hope you recover fast sending you lots of love," another wrote.
