}} ''Believe'' is the third studio album by Canadian recording artist Justin Bieber, released on June 15, 2012, by Island Records. Looking to transition from the teen pop styles of his two-piece debut effort ''My World'' (2009) and ''My World 2.0'' (2010), Bieber opted to create a follow-up record that featured more prominent elements of dance-pop and contemporary R&B. As executive producers, mentor Usher and manager Scooter Braun enlisted collaborators including Darkchild, Hit-Boy, Diplo and Max Martin with the intention of creating a mature-sounding project. Upon its release, ''Believe'' received generally favorable reviews from music critics, who appreciated its progression from Bieber's earlier works. It debuted at number one on the US ''Billboard'' 200 with first-week sales of 374,000 copies, and was later certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for sales exceeding one million units. Internationally, the record enjoyed similar success. It debuted atop the Canadian Albums Chart, where it eventually attained double-platinum recognition. The album additionally debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart, and was later certified gold there. According to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), ''Believe'' was the sixth global best-selling album of 2012 with sales of three million copies. Five singles were released from ''Believe'', several of which became international successes. Its lead single "Boyfriend" peaked at number two on the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100, and reached number one on the Canadian Hot 100. Follow-ups "As Long as You Love Me" and "Beauty and a Beat" performed moderately worldwide, and positioned within the top-ten in the United States and Canada. "Right Here" received little promotion, consequentially peaking in the lower end of the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, while the final single "All Around the World" performed moderately in most markets. The project was additionally promoted through the Believe Tour in 2012 and 2013. The remix album ''Believe Acoustic'' was released in January 2013. ==Background== On March 2, 2012, Bieber appeared on ''The Ellen DeGeneres Show'' to announce that the first single from his upcoming album would be called "Boyfriend"; it was released on March 26, 2012. The song was written by Bieber and Mike Posner, and produced by Posner and Mason Levy. Bieber also invited his fans to participate in one of the creative decisions for the "Boyfriend" single. Two potential cover arts were published on Bieber's website, and fans were encouraged to vote for which one they preferred. The cover with the most votes became the official cover for the single. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Believe (Justin Bieber album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
