Justin Bieber TV Special Not a Ratings Winner So Far

Will Hart/NBCThe first part of Justin Bieber's first-ever primetime special, All Around the World, aired Wednesday night on NBC, but it looks as though Beliebers didn't believe in tuning in. 

Deadline.com reports that ratings for the special were down 47% compared to the ratings for Adele's Live in London NBC special on June 3.  Only about 3.3 million viewers watched, according to the website.  Perhaps Thursday night's installment will do better.

Luckily, things are looking brighter for the Bieb over on the musical side of things.  Not only is his album Believe a shoo-in for a huge #1 debut next week, but his song "Boyfriend" has been in the top 10 for 12 weeks.
