Those estimates would yield a respectable debut, particularly given that Swag’s week one numbers likely won’t include any physical sales. Justice, Bieber’s next-most-recent album, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard chart back in 2021 with 154,000 equivalent units, including 30,000 physical sales.

"Swag" is Justin Bieber's first album since becoming a father last year, and his first since "Justice," which was released in 2021.

Usher (L) and Justin Bieber arrive at the Kids' Choice Awards on March 28, 2009 in Los Angeles. Later that year, Bieber's first album, "My World," would debuted at No. 6 on Billboard's charts.
