Bieber helps make ‘Call Me Maybe’ a big success

LONDON (AP) — Carly Rae Jepsen says she had a shock when she saw Justin Bieber singing along to her song, “Call Me Maybe.”

The 26-year-old Cana­dian singer was talk­ing to her mother on the phone when his YouTube par­ody popped up online.

Jepsen ini­tially thought it was just a bunch of fans lip-synching to her track. She says: “I was like, ‘That guy looks like Justin Bieber and that girl looks like Selena Gomez’ and by the time Ash­ley Tis­dale came on I was like ‘Mom, I got to go’ and I had a lit­tle freak-out.”

The video has now clocked nearly 35 mil­lion views on YouTube.

Bieber’s sup­port has helped the song hit the iTunes top 5 and take No. 1 spots in the U.K., Canada and Australia.
