Many netizens commended the Grammy-winning artist on the success of his new album. An X user compared the singer with the legendary Michael Jackson.

"I said he’s modern day Micheal Jackson and people be arguing with me. No one can say touch this guy."

Justin Bieber released the album as a surprise without teasing about it prior to its release. A fan pointed out that SWAG achieved the streaming milestone with zero promotions.

"King did that with 0 promo."

It was Bieber's seventh album to cross the one billion mark on Spotify. A netizen lauded Bieber's longevity in the music scene.

"That album has been out since July and only now got 1 billion? Lame ass dude Taylor had one billion in a week."

Another Swift fan shared the same thought.

"Taylor has done it for less than a week."
