The Rise and Fall of Justin Bieber's Hit Song Baby: From Fame to Infamy
Justin Bieber rose to fame with his hit song Baby, which was released in 2010 and quickly made him a household name. However, more than a decade later, the song has been ranked as the worst song of the 21st century by TheTopTens. Despite having a loyal fanbase, Baby has faced criticism for its repetitive structure and high-pitched vocals, leading to it being one of the most disliked music videos on YouTube. Bieber himself initially admitted that Baby was not his favorite track, but his opinion changed after his manager, Scooter Braun, convinced him to listen to the song with his vocals added. Despite the negative reception, Baby has achieved impressive numbers with 3.9 million digital downloads and 1.5 billion streams on Spotify.
