Justin Bieber's 'Yukon' Climbs the Charts: A Potential 12th No. 1 Hit
The music industry has seen a trend of solo female pop stars dominating the scene, with many male acts being overlooked for top awards. However, the current Pop Airplay chart showcases two male artists at the top. Justin Bieber's "Yukon" climbs to the second spot, while Bruno Mars's "I Just Might" continues to reign at No. 1. Bieber is inching closer to another chart-topper, which would mark his 12th No. 1 on the Pop Airplay chart, tying him with other top artists like Rihanna and Katy Perry.
If Bieber manages to dethrone Mars in the coming weeks, "Yukon" will become a historic success for the Canadian singer. Despite having multiple hits on the chart, Bieber has had several songs stall at the runner-up position, including "Let Me Love You," "Lonely," and "Beauty and a Beat." With 22 top 10 hits on the Pop Airplay chart, Bieber has had a mix of chart-toppers and near misses throughout his career.
