Who became the only artist to have five number one albums before turning 19, the first person ever to reach one billion views on YouTube, and earned over $100 million in less than three years, making him the most successful child star since Michael Jackson? Nobody except Justin Bieber. Justin Bieber is the first to do many things, also because of how he was discovered. What happens when a child star gets millions of dollars at such a young age, has to make adult decisions, and is forced to grow up in the spotlight? This blight effect has destroyed and even taken the lives of some child stars. Will Bieber be the next train wreck? Justin Bieber's rapid rise to the top was influenced by social media, and now the same thing that made him famous is trying to destroy him. Justin Bieber was found in a very unique way, one of which had never happened before him. At the age of 12, Bieber began posting videos of himself singing on YouTube, a large social media platform. These videos were posted so that members of his family who lived far away could still watch him compete on the television show "Stratford Idol." When Justin noticed he was getting more and more views, he decided to post more videos of himself singing for fun. Bieber also accepted requests from people asking him to sing a certain song. In 2008, a talent scout from Atlanta named Scooter Braun accidentally clicked on one of Justin's videos, which he was immediately smitten with. Braun had to hound Bieber to try to contact him, he called his aunts, his school, even his church just to try to contact young Bieber. Bieber's mom, Pattie Malette, wasn't sure what Braun was trying to do, so she grabbed a burner phone, called Braun and said......in the middle of a sheet of paper...... announced his second consecutive number one album in Canada, and in its second week the album reached number one in Ireland, Australia and New Zealand. It also charted in the top ten of fifteen other countries. He followed the release of his debut album with his first headlining tour, the My World Tour, the remix albums My Worlds Acoustic and Never Say Never - The Remixes, and the 3D biographical concert film Justin Bieber: Never Say Never. Bieber released his second studio album Under the Mistletoe in November 2011, when it debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. The album received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Pop Vocal Album at the 2011 ceremony. Later in 2010, Bieber began dating actress and singer Selena Gomez. When all this happened, that's when Bieber and everyone else realized he was on top and on the rise ("Why Justin Bieber is so popular?"?").
