The 18-year-old's much anticipated project fought off competition from Cheryl Cole's A Million Lights, which debuted in second place, and an excited Bieber took to his Twitter.com account to thank fans for their overwhelming support.

In third is Whistle by Flo Rida, Stooshe's Black Heart entered at four and Coldplay and Rihanna's Princess of China collaboration fell one spot to number five.
