Pop sensation Justin Bieber enjoyed a No. 1 debut for his holiday album ‘Under the Mistletoe’ on the Billboard Top 200. The debut marked the singer’s third album to enter at No. 1 – all before his 18th birthday.

The album is a seasonal mix of traditional Christmas standards and newly penned holiday music co-written by Bieber.  The album is available both as a standard CD and as a deluxe CD + DVD edition. 

The latter includes four additional holiday songs on the CD, plus 25 minutes of behind-the-scenes footage and the video for “Pray” on the DVD.  
Other guests on the album include Justin’s mentor Usher (on “The Christmas Song”), Boyz II Men, Busta Rhymes, and The Band Perry.

‘Under the Mistletoe’ videos include “Mistletoe” and “All I Want For Christmas Is You,” Justin’s collaboration with fellow IDJ superstar Mariah Carey.
 
In the spirit of the Christmas, Bieber has announced plans to donate a portion of proceeds from the album to charity. 

The singer has also launched the Believe Charity Drive with a goal to amass millions of dollars in total charitable donations by the time his new album, ‘Believe’ hits stores in 2012. 

The Charities to benefit are as follows : Pencils of Promise; Make A Wish Foundation; Musicians On Call; City of Hope; Project Medishare; Grammy Foundation; and Boys and Girls Club.
