Data Insight

My World 2.0 was Justin Bieber's debut full-length, built around the teen-pop smash Baby, and he holds co-writing credits across the tracks. The heavy lifting on writing and production came from a deep professional bench, including The-Dream, Tricky Stewart, Benny Blanco, and Bryan-Michael Cox, with Usher as executive producer and mentor.

My World 2.0 is the debut studio album by Justin Bieber, released in March 2010 on RBMG/Island Records and produced by Tricky Stewart, Midi Mafia, and others, the commercial debut of the Canadian teenager who had been discovered through YouTube videos and developed by Scooter Braun and Usher, and the album that made Bieber the first solo artist to debut at number one on the Billboard 200 with a debut album while under 16 years old. Bieber did not write any of the original material; the songs were provided by professional writers including Ryan Tedder ('Runaway Love'), Midi Mafia, and The-Dream. 'Baby' (featuring Ludacris) became one of the most viewed YouTube videos in history at the time of release, spending 12 weeks in the top five on the Billboard Hot 100 and becoming one of the best-selling singles of 2010 despite the divisive online reaction. My World 2.0 has been certified six-times platinum in the United States and reached number one on the Billboard 200 in its first week; the YouTube-to-Billboard commercial arc was one of the earliest and most extensively documented examples of social media-driven artist development.
