Despite the fact that several tracks off of Justin Bieber‘s highly-anticipated new album Believe had already leaked online before its official release, JB’s album still managed to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.
The 18-year-old singer’s Believe sold 374,000 copies, making it the biggest debut so far this year.
Believe surpassed the previous 2012 record-holder, Madonna’s MDNA, by 15,000 copies. This is also Bieber’s fourth No. 1 album!
