Justin Bieber Escapes the Teen Idol Curse!

Before Justin Bieber stole the hearts of teens (and adults) across the globe, there were countless other teen idols who, to put it lightly, dropped off the face of the Earth.

Luckily for The Biebs, he did not succumb to the sophomore slump - his second album, Believe, is the top-selling record of the year after only a week!

However, for many teen idols, this is not the case. Many fall demon to drug/alcohol abuse, arrests, and much much more! For a must-gawk gallery of ill-fated former teen idols, head over to AOL Music!
