Justin Bieber returns to Billboard’s charts in a big way thanks to his new surprise album, Swag.
Released July 11 via JRC/ILH/Def Jam/Republic, the set debuts at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 (dated July 26) with 163,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States in its opening week, according to Luminate. Announced just 10 hours before its release, the album was only available in digital and streaming formats in its first week — meaning no physical editions were available, a typical limitation for surprise album drops.
Bieber also makes a major impact on the Billboard Hot 100, debuting 16 songs on the chart, let by “Daisies” at No. 2. Here’s a full breakdown:
Rank, Title:
No. 2, “Daisies”
No. 17, “Yukon”
No. 18, “Go Baby”
No. 21, “All I Can Take”
No. 33, “Way It Is,” with Gunna
No. 35, “Things You Do”
No. 37, “Walking Away”
No. 49, “Butterflies”
No. 56, “Devotion,” with Dijon
No. 57, “Sweet Spot,” with Sexyy Red
No. 59, “First Place”
No. 70, “Swag,” with Cash Cobain & Eddie Benjamin
No. 79, “Too Long”
No. 83, “Glory Voice Memo”
No. 84, “Dadz Love,” with Lil B
No. 86, “405”
The only Swag cuts to miss the Hot 100 are “Zuma House,” “Forgiveness” (by Marvin Winans) and the three skits with Druski: “Soulful,” “Therapy Session” and “Standing on Business” (non-music-focused tracks are generally ineligible to chart).
The 16 debuts up Bieber’s total to 121 career entries — the 10th-most of all time. He also helps Dijon, Eddie Benjamin and Lil B score their first career entries on the chart.
“Daisies” earns Bieber his 27th career Hot 100 top 10, and first new top 10 since “Ghost” in 2022. He ties Janet Jackson for the 10th-most top 10s in the chart’s nearly 67-year history. He also pushes his totals to 43 top 20 titles (tying the Beatles and Rihanna for the eighth-most) and 58 top 40 hits.
