The young star's new single starts at No. 1, launching with sales of 337,000 downloads.
It's official, after a week of high anticipation: Justin Bieber celebrates his first No. 1 song on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, as new single "What Do You Mean?" rockets in at the summit.
The song is just the 23rd ever to begin at No. 1 in the Hot 100's 57-year history. Bieber, 21, had previously ranked as high as No. 2 on the Hot 100 with "Boyfriend" in 2012.
"Mean" dethrones The Weeknd's "Can't Feel My Face" after two nonconsecutive weeks atop the airplay, sales and streaming-based Hot 100 (dated Sept 19). (All charts will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, Sept. 9, instead of the usual Tuesday, due to the Labor Day holiday this week.)
