The pop icon took to the main stage and played for an audience of thousands on the ground two weekends in a row, though only activity following the first of his pair of shows is reflected on rankings right now. <\/p>\n<p>Bieber is enjoying perhaps his best stretch on the United Kingdom\u2019s music charts in a long time, as, thanks to Coachella, five different albums place \u2014 three debuting and three returning \u2013 and one manages to do both. He also sees 11 different hit songs appear on at least one roster, with streaming doing most of the work to turn older tracks into hits. <\/p>\n<p>On one genre-specific roster, Bieber nearly doubles his total count of rulers, but yet again, he\u2019s forced to settle for second place with one of his most recent smashes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYukon\u201d Returns to the Hip-Hop and R&amp;B Songs Chart<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fXivMSJm_kA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fXivMSJm_kA\" aria-label=\"\u201cYukon,\u201d\">\u201cYukon,\u201d<\/a> one of the most popular tracks from Bieber\u2019s surprise 2025 album Swag, reenters the <a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.officialcharts.com\/charts\/official-hip-hop-and-r-and-b-singles-chart\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.officialcharts.com\/charts\/official-hip-hop-and-r-and-b-singles-chart\/\" aria-label=\"Official Hip-Hop and R&amp;B Singles chart\">Official Hip-Hop and R&amp;B Singles chart<\/a>. That U.K.-based roster looks only at the top-selling tunes in those styles, and though the Canadian talent is largely known for his pop output, he has landed a number of successes that can be classified as either hip-hop or R&amp;B in that country. \u201cYukon\u201d rockets all the way to No. 2, while the popular team-up \u201cRaindance\u201d by Dave and Tems holds at No. 1.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYukon\u201d Fails Again to Finally Reach No. 1<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYukon\u201d was an immediate hit on the Official Hip-Hop and R&amp;B Singles chart and an instant top 10 win. The track launched at No. 5 in July 2025 and held in that position for nearly a month, then it vaulted all the way to the runner-up space. \u201cYukon\u201d has spent five of its 30 frames on the Official Hip-Hop and R&amp;B Singles tally at No. 2, as it\u2019s never been able to lead the way.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat Power\u201d with Will.I.Am Remains His Only No. 1<\/p>\n<p>Bieber claims just one champion on the Official Hip-Hop and R&amp;B Singles chart, and he topped the tally alongside a genre favorite. Will.I.Am, the frontman of Black Eyed Peas, recruited Bieber for the electro banger <a class=\"color-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vHBBBJ0RWRI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-ga-track=\"ExternalLink:https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vHBBBJ0RWRI\" aria-label=\"\u201cThat Power.\u201d\">\u201cThat Power.\u201d<\/a> That track debuted at No. 1 in April 2013 and held for two consecutive periods before slowly slipping downward.<\/p>\n<p>His Near-Misses Include \u201cBaby\u201d and \u201cNo Brainer\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While Bieber only claims a sole leader, multiple other smashes by the Grammy winner have come close to ruling, and in fact, several have peaked at No. 2. That grouping includes fan favorites like \u201cBaby\u201d with Ludacris and \u201cNo Brainer,\u201d his collaboration with DJ Khaled, Quavo, and Chance the Rapper.<\/p>\n<p>Justin Bieber\u2019s \u201cBaby\u201d Debuts \u2013 Again<\/p>\n<p>The original \u201cBaby,\u201d one of Bieber\u2019s first big global hits, topped out at No. 2 on the Official Hip-Hop and R&amp;B Singles chart back in 2010. Another take \u2013 this one credited solely to Bieber, with Ludacris\u2019s name notably absent \u2013 launches on the same ranking this week, and it nearly matches the all-time high of the first edition. \u201cBaby\u201d arrives on the Official Hip-Hop and R&amp;B Singles tally for the second time at No. 3.<\/p>\n<p>Justin Bieber Scores Three Hits on Same Chart<\/p>\n<p>Bieber scores three hits on this week\u2019s Official Hip-Hop and R&amp;B Singles chart, and amazingly, his tunes sit side-by-side-by-side. \u201cYukon\u201d breaks back in at No. 2, \u201cBaby\u201d debuts at No. 3, and another team-up with Chance the Rapper, \u201cConfident,\u201d also finally makes the list. That laid-back track begins its time at No. 4.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"embed-base color-body color-body-border link-embed embed-0\" href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/hughmcintyre\/2026\/03\/16\/justin-bieber-matches-taylor-swift-with-a-new-top-10-smash\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Justin Bieber Matches Taylor Swift With A New Top 10 Smash\" data-ga-track=\"forbesEmbedly:https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/hughmcintyre\/2026\/03\/16\/justin-bieber-matches-taylor-swift-with-a-new-top-10-smash\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">ForbesJustin Bieber Matches Taylor Swift With A New Top 10 SmashBy Hugh McIntyre<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Yet again, Justin Bieber&#8217;s &#8220;Yukon&#8221; from his surprise album Swag, misses out on hitting No. 1 on the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":416738,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[20831,93,61,60,281,182714,182709,182716,182713,182711,182715,182712,182710,278],"class_list":{"0":"post-416737","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-coachella","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-ie","11":"tag-ireland","12":"tag-justin-bieber","13":"tag-justin-bieber-baby-charts","14":"tag-justin-bieber-billboard-charts","15":"tag-justin-bieber-confident-charts","16":"tag-justin-bieber-hip-hop-and-rnb-chart","17":"tag-justin-bieber-swag-charts","18":"tag-justin-bieber-that-power-charts","19":"tag-justin-bieber-uk-singles-charts","20":"tag-justin-bieber-yukon-charts","21":"tag-music"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/416737","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=416737"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/416737\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/416738"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=416737"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=416737"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=416737"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
