According to Def Jam, the concert drew over 4 million unique views across its two airings. The figure positions “JOURNALS” as TikTok’s most-watched single-artist livestream ever.

The concert, which aired live on Valentine’s Day and again the following day, marked Bieber’s first time playing through the fan favorite 2013 album.
