After posting videos of himelf singing on YouTube, Justin Bieber was discovered by Scooter Braun. He then met with Usher and was signed to Island Records. Seven of the songs on his first EP, My World, landed on the Billboard charts. This album, along with his next studip album, My World 2.0, were certified platinum in the U.S. His next two albums, Under the Missletoe, and Believe both topped the Billboard Top 200.

He was recently arrested on January 23, 2014 on accusation of a DUI. There have been petitions to try and get him deported.
With all of the drama surrounding Justin Bieber, I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt. What was he discovered for? His music. He has won numerous of awards for his albums. He taught himself to play the drums, guitar and piano. Despite his recent arrest and controversies, this guy is talented and he can sing.
10. Love Me
This song was written by Bruno Mars, Ari Levin, and phillip Lawrence. It was the first single from his EP My World. It went to number 12 on the billboard charts.
“Love Me, Love me, Say that you love me, Fool Me, Fool me…” Now I realize how musically genius these lyrics are. Just kidding, but, at least it’s catchy and I can’t get it out of my head.
