Justin's My World 2.0 returned to #1 on The Billboard 200, replacing Usher's Raymond V Raymond, which debuted in the top spot last week, reports Yahoo! Justin is the youngest male solo artist ever to top the chart for two or more weeks. Ricky Nelson was 17 in 1958 when he topped the chart for two weeks with Ricky. Stevie Wonder's Little Stevie Wonder/ The 12 Year Old Genius, released in 1963 when he was 13, managed just one week on top.

My World 2.0 has sold 676,000 copies in its first three weeks. It took Justin's My World EP seven weeks to sell that many copies. My World 2.0 has sold more copies in three weeks than Jonas Brothers' latest studio album, Lines, Vines And Trying Times, has sold in its entire run. Jonas Brothers' album has sold 635,000 copies since its release in June. 'Baby' has sold 1,525,000 digital copies and 'One Time' has sold 1,815,000 copies in the past 40 weeks.

Justin Bieber has revealed that he is already struggling to sing some of his hits because his voice is breaking, according to reports.

The Canadian singer, 16, admitted that he is struggling with the changes of growing into a man, and even finds singing his hit Baby difficult.

Bieber added that his famous voice is changing all the time.

He said: "It cracks, like every teenage boy. Even some of the notes I hit on Baby I can't hit anymore.
"We have to lower the key when I sing it live."

But he said that he is trying not to panic, and insisted: "I'm dealing with it. I have the best voice coach in the country, Miss Jan Smith."

Bieber – who "treated myself to a Range Rover" for his 16th birthday – has another major problem singing live: screaming girls.

He said: "The other day, I was playing in front of 75,000 people. My friends were there, and I asked them, 'Did I do good?'

"They were like, 'I have no idea – all we heard was screaming.'"

Who is Justin Bieber? Well, it appears that anyone who doesn't know the answer to that question is either a very naive dinosaur - or more politely - not a teenager or even younger kid.

The 16-year-old Canadian singer is appearing on Channel Seven's Sunrise program on April 26, and the Neil Mitchell program is now searching for the biggest 'most crazy' Bieber fan so Channel Seven can fly the kid and one parent up to Sydney to meet him.

So, there's the challenge. Leave your reason why you should be the fan who wins the trip below. You can support your entry with images or video, but please keep the file size of any attachment to under 4mb.

The winner must be a resident of Melbourne and currently living in Melbourne. Email images or video to nmitchell@3aw.com.au.

PLEASE, one entry per person. Thanks.

The Biebster is donating his time for charity – but he definitely doesn’t come cheap….

What’s a meeting with Justin Bieber worth to you? Here’s your chance to prove just how big a fan you are! The teen singing sensation is donating his time to whomever gives the most to one of his favorite charities, the RFK Center for Justice and Human Rights.

You and a friend can win a few minutes of Bieber lovin’ before the 16-year-old’s June 23 concert in Hartford, Conn. by bidding here through April 29. The auction – which only launched this morning, April 14 -has already hit $900 at last check. Looks like you’re going to be breaking open more than one piggy bank to make this dream come true, BFF’s!

On a more serious note, Justin is the ONLY teen star who’s participating in this auction, which is dedicated to advancing the human rights movement. Justin’s giving adult peers include Alicia Keys, Gwen Stefani, Robert DeNiro and Harrison Ford.

The Biebster is a giver in every sense of the word. How cool is that?

How much would YOU pay to hang out with Justin Bieber?

Being a proud Canadian, I can't be any happier that Drake and the Biebz is taking the music world by storm. They both are blowing up internationally right now but come April 18, they'll be coming home to Canada to celebrate the 2010 Juno Awards and hopefully take home an award, or two, or maybe 3?

Justin is nominated for Album of the Year, Pop Album of the Year (for My World) and New Artist of the Year where he is up against Drake. Could this be the very first of many awards for Justin's long musical career? I certainly hope so. Justin loves Canada and there is no better place for him to win his first award than at home.

Justin Bieber

About the artist: This 16-year-old pop/R&B singer-songwriter sensation from Stratford, Ont., first got noticed on YouTube, before being signed by R&B sensation Usher. His chart-topping debut album My World was released in 2009 and went platinum in the U.S. and Canada.

What the artist said: "I would always just sing around the house and play instruments, but I never tried to get famous," Bieber told the Toronto Star.

What the critic said: "Those who dismiss Bieber out of hand are missing out on a seriously good pop record, one that mines vintage teen-pop themes but plays like a primer on 2010-model bubblegum."

-- Rolling Stone

Drake

About the artist: Since last year's release of his hit mixtape So Far Gone, Toronto actor-turned-rapper Aubrey "Drake" Graham has quickly risen to hip-hop stardom, collaborating with the likes of Eminem, Kanye West and Jay-Z. We're still waiting for his debut album Thank Me Later.

What the artist said: "I make music for people to get lost in, so as long as it takes you somewhere, then I've succeeded," Drake told Billboard magazine.

What the critic said: "That the memorable, constantly surprising lyrics and smooth flow are laid on top of the rich productions and sticky hooks means that there are some jams here that will put the competition on their heels."

Will you be watching the Junos and hopefully witness Justin win an award and make his acceptance speech? It will hopefully go something like this:

"First and foremost I would like to thank JBShrine for making this all possible...." haahaha :P
