The following year, he was featured on Justin Bieber's single " Baby", which became one of the highest-certified singles of all time in the US and a defining song in modern-day popular music. Throughout his career, Ludacris scored two number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100 as a lead artist, " Stand Up" (featuring Shawnna) and " Money Maker" (featuring Pharrell), in addition to three chart-topping Hot 100 singles as a guest performer with Usher's " Yeah!" in 2004, Fergie's " Glamorous" in 2007, and Taio Cruz's " Break Your Heart" in 2009.
