With one album released last November, My World, and with another out Tuesday, the aptly titled sophomore release My World 2.0, Bieber is the new reigning teen heartthrob in the pop world. Many MTV viewers were introduced to Bieber last September as fans vied for the chance to get a shout-out from him at the Video Music Awards. And when the competition closed, Tricia Matibag was declared the winner and Bieber gave her big ups at the big show, where he later presented an award with Nickelodeon star Miranda Cosgrove. After gaining a bit of momentum and just weeks after releasing his debut album, a mall appearance in Long Island, New York, was canceled after fans stormed the mall for a chance to see Bieber in person. He later rang in 2010 performing on Dick Clark’s “New Year’s Rockin’ Eve,” and presented at the Grammy Awards a couple months later alongside fellow pop newbie and overnight sensation Ke$ha. He then performed at BET’s “SOS: Help For Haiti” telethon with stars like Wyclef Jean and Diddy who also helped to raise funds for Haiti earthquake relief — he also appeared on the “We Are the World” remake for the same cause. His fame isn’t relegated to North America, though — much like the mall in Long Island, Bieber caused a riot in the streets of Paris , where he was scheduled to make an in-store appearance. He also very famously met up with a crying 3-year-old fan for a segment on Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show. Bieber will release My World 2.0 on Tuesday.
