Justin Bieber announces album release date

On November 17, 2009, at the tender age of 15, a little-known Canadian singer named Justin Bieber released his first mini album of seven songs entitled My World. Flash forward almost one year later and Bieber is a global pop phenomenon announcing the release of his third album.

Last week, the singer tweeted about releasing a collection of acoustic tracks in time for the holidays, and on Saturday he announced the record will hit shelves in November, reports MTV News.

“On November 23rd the Unplugged Acousticalbum comes out!” Bieber tweeted. “Taking it back to how we started. Spread the word.”

The album will be mix of songs from his first two albums, My World and My World 2.0, as well as some new songs recently recorded in Hawaii.

Already busy at work on his next album to be released a year from now, Bieber, 16, is hoping to collaborate with Drake and L’il Wayne.

“[It’ll] probably [come out] fourth quarter next year,” Bieber said at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards. “Drake is gonna be on that album; I’m not sure [who else]. I’m gonna ask him if he can get [Lil] Wayne on there.”

In addition to the new album, Bieber’s 3D bio-pic, Never Say Never, arrives in theatres in February 2011.

Justin Bieber earning $300k per concert

 

 

Do you remember when you started working at 16? Was it a fast food chain? Or delivering newspapers at 6 o’clock in the morning? It probably gave you just enough pocket money to be able to go to the movies with your friends or buy a pair of your favourite jeans.

One well-known 16-year-old boy, Justin Bieber, also works—except that for every concert he gives, he earns $300,000 U.S., according to teenmusic.com.
 
Now we can better understand why he so wanted to make up the cancelled Syracuse, New York concert so badly, despite vocal problems.
 
Even though Bieber’s income is an impossible dream for most of us, he’s still not the highest paid artist by concert.
 
It seems to country-singing pays particularly well as evidenced by the $487,500 U.S. earned for each concert by Keith Urban, husband of Nicole Kidman.
 
Country trio, Rascal Flatts, relatively unknown on this side of the border, pockets
$702,500 U.S. per show, while non-country acts like KISS receives $500,000 per performance.

Lights, camera, Bieber

Young girls will be lining up at movie theatres in droves when Justin Bieber’s 3D concert movie opens next year. Everything the young pop star touches turns to gold and this film will likely be no exception.

It hits theatres on February 11, 2011 and is expected to be a big hit with the Valentine’s Day crowd.

Bieber is still on a roll after hitting the big time just 10 months ago. He won Best New Artist last Sunday (September 12) at the MTV Video Music Awards. That award is voted on by fans and proves that Bieber fever is alive and well. He also performed during the show.

As for the upcoming 3D flick, Director Jon Chu would not reveal many details. He did tell MTV News: "There’s not going to be acted-out scenes, and I can’t talk about the rest. It’s not your typical concert film and it’s not going to be a biopic … but it is about his life. I think it’s more of a documentary. We’re going to figure it out as we go."

Some scenes for the film were shot recently while Bieber performed a sold-out show at Madison Square Garden in NYC.

Bieber fever gets too hot

Fame is giving Canadian pop sensation Justin Bieber a headache. He recently addressed fans directly during an interview with Teen Vogue. The singer said: "Just talk to me. Ask me how I’m doing. Introduce yourself instead of yelling, ‘Justin! Justin! Justin! Can I have a picture?’"

He also complained about fans that approach when he is out having a meal. Bieber bemoaned: "And don’t come up to me while I’m eating. How would you like it I came into your house and started taking pictures of you while you were eating? I hate that."

Justin Bieber rose to fame practically overnight and is now a household name the world over. The poor boy can’t even go out shopping without being recognized. He lamented: "It’s still amazing to see people wearing my shirts, but I feel like I can’t get away from myself. Like, I go to Walmart and I just want to go get some boxers and socks, but there are posters of me everywhere. Or my song comes on the radio, and it’s like, ‘Aah!’"

It’s only going to get worse… a 3D movie starring Bieber will be released in February 2011.
