About Justin Bieber
Justin Bieber begins his third year on the world stage with the November 1st release of his first Christmas album Under the Mistletoe. The album is a seasonal mix of traditional Christmas standards and newly penned holiday music largely co-written by Bieber. In just two short years Bieber has accumulated more than 13 million Twitter followers, 36 million Facebook friends and 2.2 billion combined views on YouTube and VEVO. Under the Mistletoe is 17-year-old Justin's fifth album release since he first arrived on Island Records/RBMG in November 2009 with My World. My World contained his worldwide debut hit "One Time," the follow-up "One Less Lonely Girl," and two more chart hits, "Love Me" and "Favorite Girl." With that, Justin became the first solo artist in history to send four songs from a debut album into the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 prior to the album's release. To date, Justin has amassed more than 11 million in worldwide CD sales.

About David Guetta

With 2009's multi-platinum One Love, two-time GRAMMY®-winning artist/producer/DJ David Guetta cemented his status as a genre-busting hitmaker whose in-your-face fusion of electro and hip-hop beautifully warps the pop landscape. Now, with his fifth studio album Nothing But The Beat, Guetta builds on that breakthrough momentum and takes his decades-spanning career to a frenetic new level marked by bigger hooks and more brain-bending beats. A star-packed powerhouse showcasing today's hottest hip-hop and R&B artists, Nothing But The Beat backs up its high-gloss pop with ingenious electronic stylings that deftly flaunt Guetta's DJ pedigree. In a nod to the driving force behind Guetta's crossover success, the double album also offers an all-instrumental disc designed to turn new listeners on to the hypnotic sound of house music.
