Justin Bieber Reveals ‘Purpose’ Album Cover Art (PHOTO)

Justin Bieber's album "Purpose" does not come out for another five weeks, but the pop star revealed the cover art for the highly-anticipated album featuring images from street artist Retna, according to Entertainment Weekly.

Bieber slowly unveiled the cover on Instagram to his 40 million followers along with the hashtags "Purpose" and "Retna." He first released close ups of the cover art piece by piece before revealing the entire image.

The new album, due out Nov. 13, will include Bieber's hit singles "Where Are U Now?" and "What Do You Mean?" which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard charts and made him the youngest male artist to ever have a track debut at the top spot on the chart. The closest the Canadian singer ever got to a No. 1 smash was when "Boyfriend" hit No. 2 back in 2012. The song also broke Spotify's record for the most streams in a single week as it was played over 21 million times in five days, stealing the top spot from the One Direction jam "Drag Me Down."

Bieber recently slammed the boy band for choosing to release its upcoming album "Made in the A.M." the same day as "Purpose."

"They're not really going on the road much, but we're talking about them right now, so it gives them some promo, right?" Bieber said during an interview with a New Zealand radio station last week. "So, that's probably why they did it... I think it was strategy on their part because my release date was first. But whatever. It's going to be fun. I'm excited to see what happens."
