Justin Bieber just hit a major milestone.

The Canadian-born singer has become the first artist in history to reach 10 billion views on Vevo.

Videos from Bieber’s latest album Purpose garnered four billion views, making him the most popular artist on the streaming platform.

“Justin quickly gained momentum, as well as the top spot on Vevo’s chart, which he has maintained it for 19 consecutive weeks,” Vevo said in a statement, according to Billboard.

Katy Perry and Taylor Swift are the only other artists with videos that have reached one billion views on Vevo.
