Justin Bieber’s ‘Swag’ Debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard Canadian Albums Chart

Justin Bieber's new album, Swag, is dominating the Billboard charts in Canada.

The surprise album, released July 11, grabbed 17 spots on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100, dated July 26, in its first week. On the Billboard Canadian Albums chart, Swag debuts at No. 1 — knocking Morgan Wallen’s I’m The Problem down to No. 2, after spending eight weeks at the top. Swag marks Bieber’s first project since Justice in 2021, which also peaked at No. 1 on the Canadian Albums chart and notched five weeks in the top spot.

Of the 21-song project, two tracks cracked the top 10 on the Canadian Hot 100: “Daisies” at No. 2 and “Yukon” at No. 8. In his home country, Bieber boasts 38 top 10 career hits — most recently “Stay” with The Kid LAROI, which spent 12 weeks at the top in 2021.

While

Swag leans into Bieber’s pop and R&B roots, the project prioritizes experimental production and instrumentation. While he worked with longtime collaborator Harv, Swag includes influences from songwriters and producers Carter Lang, Dijon, mk.gee and Eddie Benjamin — to name a few. Canadian R&B star Daniel Caesar, who was featured on Bieber’s 2021 No. 1 hit "Peaches," is credited as a writer and producer on "Devotion,” which debuts at No. 50 on the chart.

This week, the other 14 Swag tracks hitting the Canadian Hot 100 are:

Six tracks from the album are charting on the Canadian Hot 100. “Champain & Vacay,” featuring rapper-singer Don Toliver, debuts at No. 55. According to the rap duo, the “intergalactic” track is a reference to Scott’s visit to the Louis Vuitton headquarters, accompanied by adlibs from Waka Flocka Flame.
