(YouTube)

Justin Bieber‘s popularity doesn’t seem to be waning anytime soon.

Within just 24 hours of the singer releasing the full video for his single “Boyfriend,” the clip racked up a record-breaking number of views on YouTube.

The video, which quickly went viral after its premiere Thursday night, received more than 8 million views in its first full day of release.

That’s nearly double what previous record-holder Rihanna received for her “Where Have You Been” video, which just dropped last week.

As of Saturday, the number of “Boyfriend” views had increased to more than 9 million.

Of course, Bieber is no stranger to YouTube success.

The video site is how the young singer was discovered and later shot to worldwide fame.

Justin Bieber Reaches 2 Billion YouTube Views

There are about 7 billion people on the planet Earth, and if YouTube is any indication, a whole lot of them like Justin Bieber.

The Biebs became the first person to reach 2 billion views for his YouTube channel this week. Yes, that's billion with a "b." Lady Gaga was the first to reach one billion views, but recently she's been no match for Justin, who received 94 million clicks just in the last month.

Of course, many of the recent viewers were seeking out videos from Justin's Christmas album, which hits stores today. We're guessing it'll sell a few copies. It's good that people are willing to give a struggling young artist a chance.

Justin Bieber has won the latest round in his unofficial battle with Lady Gaga for online pop supremacy.

The Biebs is the first person to reach two billion views on his official YouTube channel, amassing 94 million views in the past month alone to cross the impressive threshold.

In October 2010, Gaga became the first artist to get to the billion mark.

She still holds the edge in Twitter popularity, as the only celebrity to hit 15 million followers.

The lesson, as always: Beliebers and Monsters basically run the Internet.

For the record, Rihanna, Eminem and Shakira round out the Top 5 in terms of overall official YouTube viewership.

Eminem leads in the category of Facebook fans (with more than 48 million).

Justin Bieber Videos Removed From YouTube

Justin Bieber‘s videos have been pulled from YouTube after a user named iLCreation took advantage of the site’s copyright violation policies.

By submitting a copyright claim on “Baby” and Bieber’s other videos, iLCreation has been able to (at least temporarily) have all “disputed” content erased from YouTube.

All of Bieber’s videos are going back up again, and the situation has been “fixed,” his rep tells Gossip Cop.

Some of Lady Gaga and Rihanna‘s official videos were similarly removed.

It’s being reported that Bruno Mars, Beyonce and other major artists have also been hit.

Gossip Cop will have updates.
