Fans Choose Justin Bieber’s ‘Swag’ as This Week’s Favorite New Music
Bieber's unexpected new album brought more than 40% of the vote.
Swag, the new album from Justin Bieber, tops this week’s fan-voted music poll.
Music fans voted in a poll published Friday (July 11) on Billboard, choosing Bieber’s 21-track surprise summer drop as their favorite new music release of the past week.
With several new tunes hitting streaming services just in time for the weekend, Beliebers swooped in to show their support for Swag, selecting the pop star’s studio return over new music from BLACKPINK, TWICE, Tyla, Clipse, Deftones and more. Swag brought in 40% of the vote.
Swag is the follow-up to Bieber’s last full-length release, his 2021 No. 1 album Justice, which rose to the top of the Billboard 200 chart for two weeks.
The new set from Bieber arrived with little warning, a day after teaser billboards first popped up in New York, Atlanta, Los Angeles and Reykjavík — one of which featured an image of the singer and his family, wife Hailey and son Jack, and others that previewed the album title and its songs.
Among the enthusiasts of Bieber’s latest is his former manager, Scooter Braun, whose Instagram Story-shared opinion is that the body of work is “the most authentically Justin Bieber album to date. It’s beautiful, raw, and truly him.” See Billboard‘s ranking of all 21 album tracks here.
The new releases trailing behind Swag on this week’s poll include BLACKPINK’s “Jump,” with 37% of the vote — followed by TWICE’s THIS IS FOR, with 16% of the vote, and Tyla’s “Is It,” nearing 2% of the vote.
