More than a decade after its original release, Justin Bieber and Nicki Minaj’s Beauty and a Beat is enjoying a major second life around the world.
The 2012 single has climbed to No. 1 on major global charts following renewed attention around Bieber’s 2026 Coachella performances. Billboard noted that the song’s comeback has also proved unusually durable, with strong streaming activity continuing well beyond the initial surge.
Beauty and a Beat originally appeared on Bieber’s third studio album, Believe, and became one of the era’s recognizable pop collaborations. Its return shows how older catalog songs can reach new listeners years after their first chart run.
