Justin Bieber<\/a> really wants his comeback record \u201cYummy<\/a>\u201d to go Number One. The intensity of that desire is simultaneously understandable and alarming.<\/p>\n

Fans can join the #YummyDanceChallenge, play a Pac Man \u201cYummy\u201d videogame<\/a>, virtually attend streaming parties, watch an animated \u201cYummy\u201d video and an official \u201cYummy\u201d video, buy a signed CD and cassette versions<\/a> of \u201cYummy\u201d for 24 hours or purchase five limited edition 7-inch vinyls on Bieber\u2019s website. Fellow pop titans BTS and Billie Eilish supported the record on social media. Bieber recently joined TikTok \u2014 the same social media app that helped Roddy Ricch\u2019s \u201cThe Box\u201d block Bieber from having the number one song on Spotify. All of these tactics, no matter how avaricious, are part of the rollout plan for most pop musicians seeking to positively adapt their sliding scale of relevance in the streaming age.<\/p>\n

But somewhere along the way, Bieber\u2019s marketing strategy for \u201cYummy\u201d took an incoherent turn. \u201cI\u2019m doing everything I can on my end,\u201d he told fans<\/a>. \u201cGo stream \u2018Yummy\u2019 please, \u2019cause I really want this fricking spot.\u201d There are currently 13 photos of random babies on Bieber\u2019s Instagram with random captions of \u201c#Yummy.\u201d In another bizarre Instagram Live video, Bieber repeatedly asks a gushing fan in English and broken Spanish if she\u2019s bought \u201cYummy\u201d on iTunes yet. But the bulk of the ire against the singer is coming from an alleged repost of a Justin Bieber Instagram fan account entitled, \u201cHow To Get Yummy to #1\u201d in three easy steps:<\/p>\n

\u201c1. Create a playlist with \u201cYummy\u201d on repeat and stream it. Don\u2019t mute it! Play at low volume. Let it play while you sleep. If you are not from the U.S. you can download a VNP app. Set the VPN to US and then create a Spotify account.
2. Buy the song on iTunes. Buy the song multiple times on Justin\u2019s website.
3. Don\u2019t repost the video, link it instead. Stream on YouTube: log out of your account, don\u2019t skip ads, don\u2019t mute it, don\u2019t repeat: refresh!!\u201d<\/p>\n

In the past, artists like Chris Brown have shared similar instructions<\/a> on how to boost the sales of whatever product an artist is marketing at the time. Harry Styles fans<\/a> are also known for using VPNs to help their idol. In 2017, Pop Crave\u2019s Will Cosme<\/a> explained the genesis of famous musicians using the size of their fanbase to game numbers. \u201c[Directioners] were the first fandom to use radio requests as a weapon,\u201d Cosme said. \u201cOther fandoms began using the same strategies \u2013 Katy fans, Nicki fans, Taylor Swift fans. It wasn\u2019t as well-organized though.\u201d<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re trying to get a new song to the top of any charts, Bieber should be selling classes.<\/p>\n
