Justin Bieber’s ‘Beauty and a Beat’ Is Still One of the Biggest Songs in the World – Four Months After Coachella

The early 2010s hit has been a fixture of the top 10 on both of Billboard's global charts since April.

In the wake of Justin Bieber’s headlining (and headline-grabbing) Coachella performances in April, last year’s “Daisies” jolted back to the top 10 of the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. for two weeks just after. Even more striking, more than a dozen tracks from across his career debuted on or re-entered the lists, topped by 2012’s “Beauty and a Beat” (featuring Nicki Minaj), which ultimately was No. 1 on each chart for multiple weeks. But perhaps most surprising, that track has outlasted the festival’s direct aftermath, holding – and gaining – in the top five of each chart, more than four months later.
