Justin reveals that big things are coming in 2013 — including a possible trip to ‘SNL!’

It sounds like Justin Bieber , 18, has major plans for 2013! On Jan. 2, the pop star tweeted, “2013 got some big things coming…. gonna stay positive. #BELIEVE,” and then added, “2013. what’s coming? #snl ???”

This is so exciting! Although Justin has already performed on and hosted Saturday Night Live, we’d be so excited to see him on the SNL stage once again! Unfortunately, Justin didn’t give any more details about when he’ll be appearing or what he’ll be doing, so we’ll have to wait to find out.

What Else Is Justin Bieber Planning For 2013?

A new album! Justin will be releasing an acoustic version of Believe on Jan. 29., which will include acoustic versions of Believe songs, as well as some totally new tracks! A source close to Selena Gomez even told HollywoodLife.com exclusively that the new album will feature several songs inspired by Selena!

“Justin told Selena that he wrote her a bunch of new songs and they are going on the album,” the source explained.

According to the source, Justin wrote the songs about his on-again/off-again girlfriend in an attempt to win back Selena’s heart!

“He is desperate for her attention, but she is flattered,” the source explained. “Sel loves him but just wants him to treat her better. But she loves when he sings about her, so she’s flattered.”

It looks like 2013 is already shaping up to be a big year for Justin; we can’t wait to see what he does next!

Lady Gaga has been toppled off her throne as the most popular and influential person in social media by teen favourite Justin Bieber. Lady Gaga has topped the ‘starcount’ chart since 2010 Justin Bieber overtook Mother Monster to claim the title. Starcount is the world’s only definitive measure of global social media popularity, adding up all 11 biggest global social networks to create a Starcount Score and create daily global leader boards.

At 18 years old Justin Bieber is the most popular and influential entity in the world across global social media sitting on the #1 spot in Starcount’s prestigious Global All Time Chart ahead of the likes of The Walt Disney Company #4, Barack Obama #12, Cristiano Ronaldo #16 and Coca Cola #18.
Justin Beiber is managed by Scooter Braun who is fast becoming the ultimate social media manager propelling his artists careers into the social stratosphere.
In addition to managing Bieber, Braun looks after Psy the Korean Pop sensation who recently broke Bieber’s record for the most views of a video on YouTube ever and Carly Rae Jepsen who has risen to fame after her song ‘Call Me Maybe’ went viral and now has over 357 million YouTube hits, a lot of which was accredited to a viral take on her video featuring Justin Bieber and his girlfriend Selena Gomez.
