Unplugged Acoustic, which arrives November 23rd, will feature acoustic renditions of tracks from My World and My World 2.0. "Taking it back to how we started," Bieber tweeted. It will also include a new song Bieber recorded recently in Hawaii, MTV reports.

Bieber's My World fragrance, which will come infused in wristbands (for girls) and dog tags (for the fellas), will come to Wal-Mart on the actual black Friday, November 26th, WWD writes.

Bieber edging into Kiss territory with his merchandising: There are also holiday plans for a nail polish line and Bieber dolls. Bieber's book First Step 2 Forever: My Story was released earlier this month, and already it ranks Number One on several Amazon book charts.

“(We're Not) The Jet Set”

George Jones and Tammy Wynette | 1973

George Jones and Tammy Wynette were still married when they recorded the tongue-in-cheek "(We're Not) The Jet Set." The lyrics, written by Nashville songwriter Bobby Braddock, who also penned Wynette's "D-I-V-O-R-C-E" and Jones' "He Stopped Loving Her Today," make fun of the good life by declaring, "We're not the Jet Set/We're the old Chevrolet set." Braddock recalled that while writing the song, he needed the name of a city that evened out the rhyme he had with "Riviera" and "Missourah." “I got out a Rand McNally atlas," he said. "In the first part are the maps. The last part is an alphabetical listing of cities. I wanted a rustic, small-time sound. I went to the listing for Missouri. And I found 'Festus.' I loved the sound of it."
