\n\tLess than 24 hours after announcing the project, Justin Bieber has released \u201cSwag II,\u201d<\/a> the follow-up to his surprise album that dropped with similarly little warning in July.<\/p>\n

\n\tBieber included 23 songs on the new record, with guest appearances from Tems, Lil B, Bakar, Hurricane Chris and Eddie Benjamin. The album arrived after its promised release time of midnight, appearing first on YouTube Music<\/a> before hitting other streaming services. On Instagram, Bieber addressed the delays in a series of posts, stating, \u201cI\u2019m sorry for the wait their telling me any second\u201d and \u201cMe waiting with u, not baiting u not sure wut the fuckkyyy is going on clicking refreshhhhhh.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSwag II\u201d was teased early Thursday morning with billboards popping up in London and banners appearing in West Hollywood, much like he had done with the grassroots advertising of the album\u2019s predecessor. He confirmed the album\u2019s imminent arrival on Instagram, stating that the record would drop at midnight.<\/p>\n

\n\tBieber has been posting photos from the studio over the past month or so, suggesting that he was hard at work on another project. He\u2019d done the same with \u201cSwag,\u201d teasing that new music was potentially on the way. Hits Daily Double previously reported that \u201cSwag\u201d was a precursor to a second, more pop-oriented album expected to be released later this year. Presumably, \u201cSwag II\u201d is the record in question, serviced as an addendum to \u201cSwag\u201d and upping the total track count to 44 songs.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe first \u201cSwag\u201d clocked in at 21 tracks and featured guest appearances from Gunna, Sexyy Red, Druski, Dijon, Lil B, Cash Cobain, Eddie Benjamin and Marvin Winans. Bieber handled the production on \u201cSwag\u201d alongside contributions from Tobias Jesso Jr., Carter Lang, Dylan Wiggins, Daniel Caesar, mk.gee, Daniel Chetrit, Knox Fortune and more.<\/p>\n

\n\tUpon release, \u201cSwag\u201d debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and marked his biggest streaming week yet. \u201cDaisies\u201d also bowed at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, while \u201cYukon\u201d peaked at No. 8 and \u201cFirst Place\u201d landed at No. 52.<\/p>\n
