Recently, Justin teamed up with director Cole Bennett for his new single + video “Honest,” featuring Don Toliver. Punchy and uptempo, “Honest” marks Justin’s first official single since “Ghost” – the anthemic finale to the multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated Justice – went #1 at pop radio in January, making chart history with the most #1 hits by a male solo artist in US radio history and the only fifth artist ever to reach twenty Top 5 hits on Hot 100. Over the past year, Justin has set new marks in his highly-decorated career. “Stay” with The Kid LAROI, Justin’s eighth career Hot 100 #1 single, made him the youngest solo artist ever to reach 100 hits on the chart. “Peaches,” his certified-triple-platinum smash, made Justin the first male solo artist to debut at #1 on both the Billboard 200 album chart and Billboard Hot 100 singles chart simultaneously. Justin Bieber’s eighth #1 album Justice has sold over eight million copies globally, amassed over 12 billion global streams, and was nominated for eight Grammys, including Album Of The Year. With an astounding 100 billion career streams and over 75 million albums sold globally, Justin reigns as one of the biggest artists in the world. Bieber is the #1 artist on YouTube with over 68 million subscribers worldwide and is the #1 artist on Spotify global with 79 million monthly listeners.
Justin – who was named Artist Of The Year at the 2021 MTV VMAs and was nominated for thirteen Billboard Music Awards – has been wowing fans nightly on the opening leg of his Justice World Tour 2022, the biggest and most ambitious tour of his career. Throughout, Justin has remained committed to using his platform for social good, bringing his ‘Justice In Action’ initiative to fans across the country, raising awareness on important issues like criminal justice reform, climate action, voter registration and much more. The Justice World Tour, promoted by AEG Presents, is Justin’s first global outing since 2016/2017’s ‘Purpose World Tour’. Described by The Times of London as “mesmerising”, Bieber played to 2.7 million fans over the course of his 2016-2017 run, with the finale seen by 65,000 fans at London’s British Summer Time Hyde Park festival.

Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Philippines (MLBB PH) released its three-episode 515 Anime Series of its heroes – Wanwan, Ling, and Yin, as part of the 515 PH campaign. This is the first time MLBB PH created an Anime, Comics, and Games (ACG) content that gives fans and gamers greater immersion and touchpoints with their favourite game. “At MLBB PH, we always listen to our fans and gamers. After finding out that they are fond of the ACG content, we made sure to create for them through the 515 PH campaign. We hope our anime-style character clips could further excite our fans as they play the game,” according to a spokesperson from MLBB Philippines.
The first video tells the story of Wanwan’s skin character who popular Filipino actress Sue Ramirez portrays. The clip includes Filipino elements, such as a Kwek Kwek (boiled quail eggs) stand where she met Yu Zhong, an agent who later betrayed her. In the video, fans can also see Wanwan singing the 515 Global theme song titled “We Better Than Me". On the second episode, fans can witness Ling as portrayed by MLBB professional athlete Ashley Marco “Killuash” Cruz. The video highlights the heroic role of the assassin who saved a man selling Balut (boiled duck egg) from the abusive minions of Zilong.
Lastly, the third episode features Yin who is portrayed by famous MLBB streamer Oscar “Sumpak” Romero. Sumpak is one of the fastest-rising names in the MLBB world and video game streaming in the Philippines. The character has shown Yin’s perseverance, working his way to victory in martial arts despite multiple attempts. “I feel grateful to MOONTON Games for having been part of this Anime Series that features Filipino stars and players and some of our cultures. We hope fellow MLBB gamers like me who are into ACG also could enjoy streaming these videos,” said Sue Ramirez.
