The ultimate measure of a pop song rests in its chart longevity. "Love Yourself" did not flash and burn. It spent 24 consecutive weeks inside the Hot 100 top ten, cementing its place among the most durable compositions of the decade.
| Date / Milestone | Chart / Recognition | Commercial Context |
|---|---|---|
| February 1, 2016 | Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 | Dethroned his own single "Sorry," marking a historic self-replacement. |
| February 16, 2016 | Hot 100 Rebound Peak | Recaptured the No. 1 position after Zayn's "Pillowtalk" debuted on top. |
| May 2, 2016 | Adult Contemporary No. 1 | Bieber's first-ever leader on the format, unlocking older demographic reach. |
| December 2016 | Year-End Hot 100 Leader | Ranked as the No. 1 overall single of 2016 in the United States. |
| 59th Grammy Awards | Song of the Year Nominee | Earned nominations for Song of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance. |
In May 2016, the song crossed into uncharted demographic territory for Bieber by claiming No. 1 on the Adult Contemporary chart. That benchmark broke his lingering teen-pop classification once and for all. By year's end, Billboard confirmed "Love Yourself" as the No. 1 overall track of 2016 on the Year-End Hot 100, while "Sorry" landed at No. 2. Bieber joined The Beatles as the only artist to capture both the top two spots on a Billboard Year-End chart since 1964.
