Justin Bieber Releasing New Album on Friday: Fans 'Did Not See This Coming'
Beliebers will finally be getting new music from Justin Bieber.
First reported by The Hollywood Reporter on Thursday morning, the 31-year-old singer will be releasing his seventh studio album on Friday. The album is rumored to be called Swag because of billboards spotted in Iceland and Los Angeles. Features on the album will include rappers Gunna, Sexyy Red and Cash Cobain, each of whom the Canadian singer has shouted out on social media in the past few months. This will be his first studio album since Justice, which was released in 2021.
Many people have been speculating that Bieber was going to release new music sometime in the near future because of a photo dump posted to Instagram on June 30, which showed him working in a studio. But on Thursday in the early afternoon, Bieber himself confirmed the reports through multiple social media posts, including the tracklist and billboard pictures posted on his Instagram. The new album will have 20 new songs.
When reports circulated around social media and the "Yummy" singer posted multiple photos confirming the release, the Internet freaked out.
"i literally fell to the ground and started crying," a fan commented on one of Bieber's Instagram posts.
An X fan account dedicated to Ariana Grande commented, "did not see this coming, but yes Justin come save summer."
"Justin bieber dropping a new album tonight WE WONNNN," a user posted on X with an Oprah Winfrey GIF.
"IT'S NOT CLOCKING TO Y'ALL THAT WE GETTING A NEW ALBUM TONIGHT," a user commented on Instagram, referring to this viral video.
"THIS IS FOR THE OG BELIEBERS," one fan commented.
Another commented, "He's been cooking I'm ready to be fed."
Bieber's seventh album will be out on all streaming platforms at midnight ET on Friday, July 11.

Gene Simmons remembers Ozzy Osbourne's legacy after iconic rocker's death: "A totally extraordinary individual"
KISS frontman Gene Simmons paid tribute to longtime friend and rock legend Ozzy Osbourne during an appearance on "CBS Mornings," on Wednesday describing the Black Sabbath icon as a "pure human being" and an "extraordinary individual." Speaking from Los Angeles, Simmons reflected on his decades-long friendship with Osbourne, dating back to 1975 when KISS opened for Black Sabbath on their "Sabotage" tour. "Ozzy was always just wonderful, heartfelt Ozzy, nonjudgmental, no airs about him," Simmons said. "Reluctantly, I admit, sometimes I'm full of myself. Ozzy? Never." Osbourne died at the age of 76. His family's statement didn't provide additional details about the circumstances surrounding Osbourne's death. The KISS bassist recalled their early days performing together at a small 3,000-seat venue in Boston in 1975, when both bands were starting out. "Before Sabbath went on stage, we're backstage with our makeup and everything," Simmons recalled, when Osbourne approached him with warmth, asking, "How are you? Nice to see you." Simmons said Osbourne played a foundational role in creating heavy metal music, crediting Black Sabbath with inspiring countless bands that followed. "Before Ozzy, there was no Ozzy. You can't point to who it is that inspired Ozzy to be who he is. A totally extraordinary individual," said Simmons. The KISS frontman also credited Osbourne's reality show "The Osbournes" with paving the way for other celebrity family television shows. "We couldn't have our reality show without "The Osbournes," Simmons said. Simmons became emotional during the interview while discussing his friend's impact on both music and personal relationships. "I've never heard Ozzy ever say anything bad about anybody," Simmons said. "When you meet somebody extraordinary, I don't mean famous, because there are a lot of famous people who are putzes, myself sometimes as well, this was a pure human being, nonjudgmental."

EA Sports drops college basketball bombshell
The post EA Sports drops college basketball bombshell appeared first on ClutchPoints. It appears an NCAA college basketball video game could be coming from EA Sports after bringing back College Football. EA Sports dropped the bombshell tease on Monday, June 30, 2025. They posted an image of a basketball with their logo on it, and the caption read, 'Bring the Madness. Let's run it back.' This is huge news for college basketball fans. It has been over a decade since the last college basketball video game came out from the game studio. When did EA Sports' last NCAA college basketball game come out? It has been nearly 16 years since the last NCAA Basketball game came out from EA Sports. NCAA Basketball 10 was released on November 17, 2009, before the series' hiatus. Blake Griffin was the cover athlete of the game. He retired in 2023 after playing in the NBA for over a decade. During his career, Griffin played for the Los Angeles Clippers, Detroit Pistons, Brooklyn Nets, and Boston Celtics. EA Sports then discontinued the game after the 2010 edition. It would go on the shelf for over a decade until now. EA appears to be bringing it back. The move should not come as a surprise to fans. EA recently brought back their college football series in 2024 with EA Sports College Football 25. It was the first college football video game to come out in 14 years. NCAA Football 14 was released in July 2013, and then the series was put on the shelf for a while. Luckily, the revival was a success for the studio. College Football 26 is set to be released on July 10, 2025. The series will likely continue to go on for as long as players buy the game. Fans will have to wait and see when EA Sports announces more details regarding their NCAA college basketball game. It will probably come out sooner rather than later. If they follow the release cycle of the last games, it could come out in November 2025.
