All US Number 1s From 2021 Ranked Worst To Best
16. Peaches - Justin Bieber
For all the flack he gets, it is still undeniable that Justin Bieber is one of the biggest pop stars of the last decade. The fact that he manages to release such huge hits so many years after he broke out with Baby is a testament to his enduring popularity, and the devotion of his fanbase. Most of the time, the music is pretty good too.
Whether or not Peaches fits the mould is hard to determine. It's a laid-back, trap-inspired jam that borders on cultural appropriation, but it's fine, because Justin brings his friends Daniel Caesar and Giveon to back him up (and outperform him). Lyrically, the song is about the artists' stable relationships, and not just about how Justin is so loaded that even his peaches are flown in.
But the song is a little on the side of boring, though it's earwormy enough to linger in your head even if you don't look it up.
