In April 2010, Justin Bieber sat down with MTV News to dish about his devoted fanbase. His Beliebers, at the time, were keeping him at the top of the Twitter trends daily. Those fans were the ones who believed in him before he became the megastar he is today.

When he sat down with us all those months ago, Bieber seemed grateful for their love and support.

"They make me a trending topic on Twitter every day," Bieber marveled. "It's pretty incredible. My fans have made me a trending topic every day. I don't think there's been a day in the past month that I haven't. So it's pretty incredible."

The singer — who is still one of the most devout celeb users of the social-networking site — said he loved using the site to stay connected to his fans. "I love Twitter," Bieber said. "I use it for being able to interact with my fans as well as promote stuff."

To this day, Bieber frequently tweets and retweets messages for his fans, noting that there's no science as to who he picks. "It just depends. It's kind of, like, it's random," he said. "It's not really anyone specifically. It's just kind of a random thing.

"They're like, 'I never thought you were gonna respond!' " he added. "And I say, 'You thought wrong.' "

On Friday, Justin Bieber's 3-D documentary, "Never Say Never," opens. The film takes a look at how the teen star worked to hit it big. MTV News has been chatting with him along the way, from the time he first burst on the scene in 2009 until now, as he embarks on a huge 2011 that will include a tour and more new music.
