Tween heartthrob Justin Bieber shares his favorite albums ranging from idols Boyz II Men and Michael Jackson to mentor Usher. The 15-year-old Canadian was discovered by music promoter Scooter Braun after seeing Bieber’s home videos on YouTube. His first album ‘My World’ debuts today, featuring hit singles ‘One Time’ and ‘One Less Lonely Girl.’ Check out Bieber’s list below as well as selections from ‘My World’ on AOL Radio’s Kids Pop station.

10) Chris Brown: ‘Exclusive’
The song ‘With You’ off this album has meant a lot to me. One of my favorite songs to sing. The video of me singing it on my YouTube page has played a big role in my own career. I still like to sing it a cappella.

9) Kanye West: ‘Graduation’
I’m a huge fan of all Kanye’s albums but ‘Graduation’ is my favorite. ‘Stronger’ was a game changer.

8) The Tragically Hip: ‘Fully Completely’
Fellow Canadians!! I don’t hear much about them here in the U.S. — which is very strange to me since they’re legendary in Canada.

7) Usher: ‘Confessions’
My mentor and friend…’Confessions’ could be the perfect R&B album. Amazing from start to finish.

6) Ne-Yo: ‘Because of You’
Such a great songwriter and artist; he’s one of my favorite artists and I love to cover his songs.

5) Guns N’ Roses: ‘Appetite for Destruction’
‘Sweet Child o’ Mine’ is a classic and one of my favorite songs for Karaoke. No lie. Haha.

4) Boyz II Men: ‘Evolution’
’4 Seasons of Loneliness’ could be my favorite song they ever recorded.

3) Michael Jackson: ‘Thriller’
‘Thriller’! Enough said!

2) Michael Jackson: ‘Bad’
Michael, in my opinion, is the greatest performer of all time. Off this album, ‘Man in the Mirror’ is probably my favorite song by him.

1) Boyz II Men: ‘II’
‘On Bended Knee’ is my song! I’ve learned so much from listening to them. It’s hard to choose just one album from Boyz II Men so I gotta add another to this list. I used to play this album over and over, trying to emulate Wanya’s runs.
