Justin Bieber<\/a>, now two SWAGS deep<\/a>, tapped into his playful approach to social media in the run-up to his second album of the year.<\/p>\n In one Instagram update, Bieber tucked in a joke about a controversy that was the talk of the industry not too long ago. Namely, he nodded to the charts-minded approach of bundling an album release with other items, a practice that was the subject of Billboard rule changes<\/a> back in 2020.<\/p>\n \u201cThis ain\u2019t no bundle scandal,\u201d Bieber wrote in the caption of a post featuring key pieces from his SKYLRK<\/a> label. Notably, the pieces featured in the post are very much in line with the visual language of SWAG II\u2019s minimalist cover art, which swaps out the all-black look of its predecessor for pink.<\/p>\n Image via Justin Bieber on Instagram<\/span><\/p>\n In 2019, then-new projects from DJ Khaled<\/a> and Tyler, The Creator <\/a>were both at the center of industry chatter about bundling<\/a>.<\/p>\n COMPLEX SHOP:<\/b> Shop the brands you love, anytime and anywhere.

Obsess.<\/a><\/p>\n Khaled, specifically, was the subject of a report claiming that he was \u201cfurious<\/a>\u201d about missing out on a No. 1 debut against Tyler. More recently, Billboard again changed<\/a> its stance on bundling.<\/p>\n With SWAG\u2019s release in July, Bieber bagged his 11th Top 10 entry on the Billboard 200 albums chart. The album, his first since 2021\u2019s Justice, opened at No. 2.<\/p>\n While it remains to be seen where Bieber will land with SWAG\u2019s sequel, it\u2019s safe to say he can expect another impressive charts week. This is Bieber we\u2019re talking about, after all.<\/p>\n A bigger question is, when can we expect some movement from Bieber and company on the world tour front?<\/p>\n So far, Bieber hasn\u2019t teased any dates. He was last on the road for the Justice World Tour in 2022, though that run was ultimately cut short<\/a>.<\/p>\n ComplexCon returns to Las Vegas on October 25\u201326, 2025, with over 300 brands and live performances by Young Thug, YEAT & Friends, Peso Pluma, Central Cee, Ken Carson, and more.\u00a0Get your tickets now<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Justin Bieber’s Road to ‘SWAG,’ From Instagram Vulnerability to a “Therapy Session” With Druski<\/span><\/p>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Justin Bieber: ‘Standing on Business Gets Tiring’<\/span><\/p>\n ,<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Dijon Launches New Album ‘Baby’ Following Acclaimed Collaborations With Justin Bieber and Bon Iver<\/span><\/p>\n Mya Reflects on Symbolically Marrying Herself, Being Celibate: \u2018It Wasn\u2019t a Choice\u2019<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n Funk Flex Shouts Out Diddy, Says He\u2019ll ‘Come Through’ if Mogul Plays Madison Square Garden<\/a><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<\/span><\/div>\n
