Justin Bieber has done it again. More than a decade into his career, the Canadian superstar continues to show that his dominance in the music industry is far from over. With his latest album Swag climbing back on the charts thanks to the re-release of a deluxe edition titled Swag II, Bieber has managed to deliver yet another radio smash. The single “Daisies” has now broken into the top 10 on multiple Billboard rankings, proving that Bieber’s global fanbase and chart power remain unstoppable.
The Comeback of “Swag” and the Birth of “Swag II”
When Justin Bieber first dropped Swag, critics and fans alike praised the album for its mix of pop, R&B, and experimental beats. But few could have predicted the second life the project would gain when Bieber decided to release Swag II, a deluxe version that combines the original tracklist with more than 20 new songs. In the streaming era, deluxe albums have become a powerful tool for artists to extend the lifecycle of their projects, but Bieber took it to another level by essentially giving fans a double album. The result? A surge in streams, sales, and renewed chart activity across the board. Both Swag and Swag II are being counted together in Billboard’s tallies, and that combined momentum is pushing the singer’s catalog into new territory.
“Daisies” — The Track That Refuses to Fade
What’s particularly fascinating about this moment is that while Swag II introduced more than 20 fresh cuts, it’s not necessarily the new material making the biggest waves. Instead, it’s “Daisies”, one of the original singles from the first edition of the album, that’s climbing the charts. The track has turned into an unexpected sleeper hit, gaining traction weeks after its debut. Billboard’s Radio Songs chart, which measures the most-played tracks across all U.S. radio formats, just welcomed “Daisies” into its top 10, as the single jumped from No. 11 to No. 7 this week. This leap solidifies the song as another major victory in Bieber’s catalog of chart-toppers.
Breaking Records on Adult Pop Airplay
The success doesn’t stop there. “Daisies” has now cracked the top 10 on the Adult Pop Airplay chart, one of Billboard’s most competitive lists that highlights radio hits appealing to a broad demographic beyond Bieber’s core younger fanbase. The single moved from No. 11 to No. 9, marking a milestone moment in his career. This jump adds a fifteenth top 10 entry for Bieber on the Adult Pop Airplay list, underscoring his ability to adapt his sound to multiple audiences and proving his cross-generational appeal. It’s a reminder that Bieber’s music isn’t confined to teenage listeners anymore — he’s speaking to a wider spectrum of fans, from millennials who grew up with him to Gen Z discovering him on platforms like TikTok.
Radio Songs and Career Milestones
On the Radio Songs list, Bieber’s achievement is even more impressive. “Daisies” has become his twenty-second top 10 hit on the chart, further cementing his status as one of the most successful pop artists of all time. Out of those, Bieber has claimed the No. 1 spot five times, each with different songs that showcase his stylistic versatility. From dance-pop bangers to stripped-down ballads, his career catalog has a consistency few artists can rival. With “Daisies,” Bieber is now entering a rare space occupied by only a handful of pop legends who can continuously deliver hits year after year, no matter how the industry shifts.
Pop Airplay — The Real Test
If there’s one chart that truly measures who’s ruling the radio waves at any given time, it’s the Pop Airplay ranking. Known for being the most competitive of Billboard’s three pop-focused tallies, this list often reflects the tracks dominating youth culture. Bieber’s “Daisies” is now holding its own, moving from No. 5 to No. 4, which is no small feat considering the intense competition from both established megastars and viral newcomers. This climb proves that “Daisies” is not just another flash-in-the-pan single but a song with staying power and broad reach.
Streaming Power and Hot 100 Impact
Beyond radio, Justin Bieber continues to show muscle on streaming platforms. This week, “Daisies” pushed from No. 26 to No. 19 on the Streaming Songs chart, signaling that fans aren’t just hearing the track on the radio — they’re actively seeking it out online. Even more impressively, the single has returned to the Billboard Hot 100’s top 10, a rare feat for a track that faced direct competition from Bieber’s brand-new songs on Swag II. For most artists, dropping two dozen new tracks would bury older material. For Bieber, it’s only amplified the success of “Daisies.”
Why “Daisies” Works So Well
Part of the song’s appeal lies in its balance of catchy hooks and emotional depth. While it carries the polished pop production listeners expect from Bieber, “Daisies” also features a lyrical vulnerability that resonates with fans. The song’s upbeat tone combined with its heartfelt delivery allows it to work across formats — from Top 40 to Adult Contemporary. It’s this versatility that explains why the track is thriving on so many different Billboard lists at once.
Bieber’s Radio Legacy
It’s worth pausing to reflect on just how significant these milestones are. Radio success has always been a key marker of mainstream relevance, and in today’s streaming-dominated landscape, breaking into the Radio Songs top 10 is harder than ever. Yet Bieber has managed to notch 22 entries into that exclusive club, alongside his multiple No. 1s. For context, very few artists in the streaming era can claim that level of consistency across formats. Bieber’s radio dominance is not just about raw popularity; it’s about his ability to deliver songs that resonate with program directors and casual listeners alike.
Competing Against Himself
Perhaps the most intriguing storyline here is how “Daisies” has thrived even as Swag II floods the market with fresh material. Normally, when artists release deluxe editions, attention shifts entirely to the new tracks. In Bieber’s case, however, the success of “Daisies” suggests that listeners aren’t ready to move on from the original singles just yet. Instead, Bieber is competing against himself on multiple fronts: new Swag II cuts vying for streaming spots while “Daisies” surges on radio. For most artists, that would be a headache. For Bieber, it’s proof of his unmatched ability to dominate the conversation.
What This Means for Bieber’s Career
With “Daisies” hitting new peaks, Justin Bieber’s career trajectory looks more stable than ever. He’s no longer just the young heartthrob who rose to fame on YouTube. Instead, he has solidified his place as a global pop powerhouse with over a decade of hits, chart-topping albums, and the rare ability to appeal across demographics. His transition from teen idol to respected artist has been rocky at times, but the numbers don’t lie: Bieber continues to deliver when it matters most.
Fan Power and Social Media Amplification
Of course, none of this success would be possible without Bieber’s loyal fanbase, known worldwide as Beliebers. Their support on streaming platforms, radio requests, and social media has played a huge role in “Daisies” reaching new heights. On TikTok and Instagram, fans have turned snippets of the song into viral moments, further driving streams and downloads. This combination of traditional radio dominance and modern social media amplification is exactly why Bieber remains such a relevant force in 2025.
The Bigger Picture — Bieber and the Pop Landscape
Bieber’s latest triumph with “Daisies” also says something larger about the current state of pop music. In an era where TikTok virality often dictates chart success, Bieber has proven that radio still matters — and that artists with a dedicated fanbase can continue to thrive even when trends change overnight. The ability to deliver radio hits in 2025 is a sign of true staying power, separating the megastars from the fleeting sensations.
Conclusion — The Power of “Daisies” and What’s Next
In the end, Justin Bieber’s “Daisies” isn’t just another hit. It’s a reminder of his continued dominance, his ability to adapt to an ever-changing industry, and his knack for creating music that connects across generations. By breaking into the top 10 on multiple Billboard charts, Bieber has added another milestone to his already storied career. As Swag II continues to generate buzz and more singles emerge, the question isn’t whether Bieber will stay relevant — it’s how much higher he can climb. For fans and industry insiders alike, one thing is clear: Justin Bieber’s reign at radio is far from over.
