Justin Bieber Hits New Milestone
Justin Bieber has become the first artist to hit 50 million subscribers on his YouTube channel.
The singer, who got his start on the platform back in 2007, holds steady as the most-subscribed artist on YouTube.
In January 2007, the then-13-year-old singer posted cover videos of himself under the currently defunct account name “kidrauhl,” showing off his fresh takes on classics by Usher, Stevie Wonder, Justin Timberlake, Chris Brown and Ne-Yo.
“Started as #kidrauhl and now this. Thank you,” he tweeted Wednesday with a screenshot of the news.
