Single Sales of Justin Bieber’s “Lonely” Surge 1,400% Amid Diddy Scandal
The Surge in “Lonely” Sales
The sales of Justin Bieber’s single “Lonely” have skyrocketed by 1,400% three years after its release, thanks to the attention from the ongoing sexual misconduct scandal involving rapper Diddy.
According to a report by Forbes on October 7, the song has surged back into the spotlight as fans noticed connections between the lyrics and Diddy’s current situation.
In the past week, over 1,500 copies were sold, a significant increase compared to just under 100 copies the previous week. This demonstrates the unique appeal of “Lonely,” even though Justin had no plans to promote the track.
Lyrics Reflecting Loneliness and the Cost of Fame
According to sources, the renewed popularity of the song is partly linked to the past relationship between Justin Bieber and Diddy. Currently, Diddy is facing three serious charges: sex trafficking, conspiracy to extort, and transporting individuals for prostitution. Diddy, who once served as Bieber’s mentor, has been detained and could face life in prison if convicted.
