Justin Bieber's "Beauty and a Beat" climbs on Billboard's global chart

Justin Bieber's "Beauty and a Beat" moved from No. 5 to No. 4 on Billboard's Global Excl. U.S. chart in the latest update, after spending two weeks at No. 1 in May. The chart tracks streaming and sales from territories outside the United States, using data compiled by Luminate. 1

Billboard's report was published July 27 and covers charts dated August 1. This is a chart-position update, not a new release announcement.

A separate July 27 Detroit News story listed Bieber among the artists the writer would like to see play Michigan Stadium, also known as the Big House. The article says no upcoming concerts have been announced at the venue and frames talk of Bieber as a possible future Super Bowl headliner, followed by a tour, as speculation rather than a booking. 2

There is no confirmed new Bieber tour date, release, interview, or public appearance in the two reports above. The Billboard chart rise is the firm update; the Michigan Stadium idea should stay in the rumor column until Bieber, his team, the venue, or a promoter announces it.

Bieber's latest measurable movement is on the global chart, while the fresh stadium chatter has no official date attached.
