In mid-July, Justin Bieber surprised the world by announcing his new album Swag. The full-length dropped just hours after people found out it even existed, and it became another big win for the Canadian pop icon in countries all around the planet.
Bieber recently dropped Swag II, reissuing the original Swag and expanding its tracklist with more than 20 new cuts. As Swag II and its tunes begin to debut on charts in a number of nations, one of Swag’s biggest singles almost earns Bieber another No. 1 in the United Kingdom, but it is blocked by one of the hottest hip-hop records of the year.
“Yukon” Rises to a New Peak
“Yukon” climbs from No. 3 to No. 2 on the Official Hip Hop & R&B Singles chart, the list of the bestselling tunes in those styles. Nine weeks into its time on the tally, the song hits a new all-time high point.
“Victory Lap” Keeps Justin Bieber From No. 1
“Yukon” is blocked from the summit by “Victory Lap.” That track, fronted by Grammy-winning producer Fred Again.., which also credits Skepta and PlaqueBoyMaxx, has spent 12 weeks on the list of the biggest tunes in those styles throughout the U.K.
“Victory Lap” debuted at No. 1 back in early July and has only stepped aside twice – and even during those frames, the smash only fell to second place before recapturing the throne.
Justin Bieber’s Past and Present on the Chart
Bieber has only conquered the Official Hip Hop & R&B Singles Chart once. In April 2013 he joined Black Eyed Peas frontman Will.I.Am on “That Power” The cut spent 19 frames rising and falling, two of which were at No. 1.
“Yukon” joins several other Bieber smashes that stalled in the runner-up space on the Official Hip Hop & R&B Singles chart. That groups includes both “Baby” with Ludacris and “No Brainer” alongside DJ Khaled, Quavo, and Chance the Rapper, which also missed out on leading the charge by just one rung.
“Yukon” Climbs on Multiple Charts
“Yukon” lives on three U.K. charts this week, and it climbs on all of them. The song steps up to No. 17 on the Official Singles ranking and three spots to No. 51 on the Official Streaming list. Bieber’s solo tune previously topped out at No. 12 on the main ranking of the most-consumed songs in the U.K. and at No. 21 on the roster of the most-played tracks on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music.
