Justin Bieber's arrival as his generation’s leading heartthrob broke new ground, thanks to the internet. It was a bit different from the kind of star-making machinery that dates back to Frank Sinatra in the 40s, through Elvis in the 50s, Ricky Nelson (who rose to fame on the TV show named after his parents). Bieber became a phenomenon on YouTube and was one of the first superstars created by it. By 2010, he became the first to have seven songs from his debut album all chart on Billboard.
