2. My World 2.0 is the debut studio album by Canadian singer Justin Bieber. The
album was released on March 19, 2010, by Island Records. It is considered the
second half of a two-piece project, being supplemented by Bieber's
debut extended play My World (2009). After signing a recording contract in light of
his growing popularity on YouTube, Bieber worked with collaborators including his
mentor Usher, and producers Tricky Stewart, The-Dream, and MIDI Mafia. The
record follows in the same vein as My World, incorporating teen
pop and R&B elements. Lyrically, it discusses teen romance and coming of
age situations.
Upon its release, My World 2.0 received generally favorable reviews from music
critics, who complimented its production. It debuted at number one on the
US Billboard 200 albums chart with first-week sales of 283,000 copies.[4] In doing
so, Bieber became the youngest solo male artist to top the chart since Stevie
Wonder in 1963. With My World peaking at number five on the chart that week,
Bieber became the first artist to occupy two top-five positions on the ranking
since Nelly in 2004.[5] The album's sales were larger in its second week of release
in the US, becoming the first album since The Beatles' 1 (2000) to debut at
number one there, and have a stronger-selling second week.[6] Bieber also had
his second consecutive number-one album in Canada, and in its second week of
release the album peaked at number one in Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand. It
also charted in the top ten of fifteen other countries. Bieber supported the album
with his first headlining worldwide concert tour, the My World Tour (2010–2011).
He was the ninth solo artist to chart on the Billboard 200 under the age of 18, as
well as the third solo male artist to do so since Stevie Wonder's Recorded Live:
The 12 Year Old Genius for 47 years.
