Justin Bieber's new single "What Do You Mean?" broke Spotify's record for the most streams in a single week. It had the biggest week ever for a single globally and in the United States, and was streamed more than 21 million times in five days, according to Entertainment Weekly.
The song stole the Spotify title from One Direction's "Drag Me Down," which launched earlier this summer. That song, which was One Direction's first without Zayn Malik, was streamed over 20 million times in its debut week.
"What Do You Mean?" is Bieber's first piece of new music since his last album came out in 2012. The song enjoyed a spike in the number of streams after Bieber preformed it at the MTV Video Music Awards Sunday night, according to Yahoo News.
The 21-year-old singer broke down in tears after he performed the song for the first time in front of his musical peers. Bieber later told "The Tonight Show" host Jimmy Fallon that he was just overwhelmed with the situation. "I missed some cues so I was a bit disappointed about that. But just the support... I didn't expect them to support me in the way they did. Last time I was at an awards show, I was booed," explained the singer, according to Billboard.
"What Do You Mean?" is the first single from Bieber's next album, which is expected to be released Nov. 13.
