Christmas Weekend



Christmas Weekend is a debut Christmas album released by Canadian Singer, Justin Bieber. His 5th album released overall, but his first Christmas album.

Recording and Development
While recording the soundtrack, Fast Times at University Justin had started to record and develop songs that would go towards his Christmas album. Justin stated back during his debut album, Thrill Seeker that he always planned and doing a Christmas album. With lots of material saved, and recording starting with the Soundtrack he was able to record the album rather quicker than he does with other albums. With the album finished quickly, Bieber took a small break from the public light and focused on his personal life.

Release and Commercial Performance
The album followed rather a surprise release, with the date announced closely and the Lead Single premiering directly wiht the album. Bieber looked towards keeping low, then taking a risk with a high promotion finally starting the week of the album's release. However, it did work - the album was released December 8th, and immediately sold 490,000 copies among it's first week out. This became Bieber's highest debut week yet, sales wise further breaking rumors he seemed to be fading with a minor break. Rolling Stones said, "Justin Bieber could take a break for 10 years, come back randomly, and have no promotion and still somehow end up with a Top 3 single", following his Lead Single also having success. "I Feel It (Holiday Spirit) " was released as the Lead Single and followed the albums sucess reaching #1.
