Under the Mistletoe is Justin Bieber's Christmas album, a mix of original songs he co-wrote and covers of holiday standards. He has a writing credit on the album's originals, including the single Mistletoe, while the carols are not his. Guests include Mariah Carey, Usher, Boyz II Men, and Busta Rhymes.
Under the Mistletoe is a holiday studio album by Justin Bieber, released in November 2011 on RBMG/Island Records and produced by Tricky Stewart, Midi Mafia, and others, following the successful My World 2.0 debut and released as Bieber's second studio collection, containing seasonal R&B-pop material designed to leverage his commercial standing at the Christmas retail peak. Bieber co-wrote several tracks for the first time; the album includes duets with Mariah Carey ('All I Want for Christmas Is You'), Busta Rhymes, Boyz II Men, and Usher, situating the teenager within multiple generations of commercial pop history. Under the Mistletoe debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, making Bieber the youngest solo artist in chart history to have two consecutive number-one albums, and has been certified three-times platinum in the United States. The album is primarily significant as a commercial vehicle for the Christmas pop market rather than as an artistic statement, but its commercial performance confirmed the extraordinary commercial scale of the Bieber phenomenon in its early phase.
