With so much accomplished in 2010, Justin Bieber has certainly set the bar high for 2011. But the teen singer is already gearing up for next year. Bieber will not only release his much-anticipated 3-D flick, "Never Say Never", but he has also teased that he'd like to release an album of all-new material sometime later next year.
His mentor, Usher, thinks that at this point, the sky's the limit.
"As far as music and entertainment, that's the beginning," Usher told MTV News at Sunday's AMAs, where Bieber performed and took home four awards.
"There's so much more in store for the future, or at least there's a ton of things we can do and will, and with the support of his fans who will continue to just grow and grow and grow."
At 16, Bieber has accomplished what few manage with many more years in the music business, but Usher said he wants to ensure that Bieber doesn't stop enjoying it all as his popularity continues to grow and his schedule gets busier.
Asked what he admires most about Justin, Usher said, "His excitement and innocence in it. And I don't mean that in a light way because I think that he's absolutely enjoying every moment of it, as any young man his age would, but in a different way because [of] the hard work that has gone in and led to the dream that has become a reality. And every time you have an opportunity do something incredible, I tell him to do his best and be conscious that what you're doing today should last forever and eternity."

MTV News just named Usher's "OMG" the #1 song of 2010, and clearly we're not alone in our admiration. But what is it like to watch it performed night after night? Miguel, who is currently opening for Usher's OMG Tour gave us a little insight.
"There's so much anticipation for this song when he comes out, and he really gives the fans what they want," Miguel laughs. "He kills it every night."
Before his latest string of hits, Usher was out of the spotlight for a period of time in 2009, when he was dealing with personal issues including a divorce. Miguel finds his 2010 comeback inspiring.
"There was a period of time, when a lot of people didn't believe in Usher and thought he was finished ... just kind of going to ride off into the sunset and disappear," the up-and-coming singer noted.
With the release of Raymond vs. Raymond and its extended, companion EP, Versus, in 2010, Usher proved the skeptics wrong with chart-toppers including "OMG" and "DJ Got Us Fallin' In Love."
"He's such a tremendous example of perseverance and determination," Miguel beamed. "I was there throughout this album, so I've seen the adversity that he's had to overcome perception-wise."
MTV News' Top 25 Songs of 2010 have all been counted down. But the fun isn't over yet: We still want to see your picks in the comments below!

The wait is finally over, and all Avril Lavigne can say is: "What the Hell." That's the name of the first single from Lavigne's upcoming fourth studio album, Goodbye Lullaby, which is due March 8. The singer has been vocal about how long she's had to wait to get new music to her fans, and on the first salvo from the disc, you can almost taste her pent-up emotions.
Opening with a bouncy retro keyboard riff reminiscent of garage revivalists the Hives and some power-poppy handclaps, the song has the rousing cheerleader energy of some of Lavigne's catchiest hits. It also sounds like a declaration of independence from a former teen star who is storming back onto the scene after her first significant friction with her label and in the wake of a public divorce from ex-husband Deryck Whibley of Sum-41.
"You say that I'm messing with your head/ All 'cause I was making out with your friend," she sings in the opening lines amid a flurry of "yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah" backing chants. "Love hurts whether it's right or wrong/ I can't stop, 'cause I'm having too much fun."
The chorus explodes with a rush of big guitars and beats as she lets loose with the battle cry, "All my life I've been good, but now I'm thinkin', 'What the hell?'/ All I want to is to mess around, and I don't really care about/ If you love me, if you hate me, you can't save me, baby, baby/ All my life I've been good and now, what the hell?"
Though Lavigne has been linked to Brody Jenner — and the pair have gotten matching tattoos — she revels in her freedom in the second verse, singing, "So what if I go out on a million dates?/ You never call or listen to me anyway."
The song got its live debut on "Dick Clark's Rockin' New Year's Eve" and fans got a chance to download it for free for 48 hours after that through Lavigne's Facebook page.
Its infectious groove and peppy vibe are reminiscent of some of the Canadian singer's previous hits, most notably "Girlfriend." And while it may sound familiar to fans, Lavigne promised that the song's energy is not necessarily indicative of the rest of the material on the disc, which she described as a "departure" from her earlier work.
"This album is different. ... I'm older now, so I think that comes across in my music. It's not as pop-rock, and it's a little more mellow and it's deep," Lavigne told MTV News in November. "But my first single is very 'up' and pop-rock. The first single is very much like my older stuff, but the rest of the album is a departure."
Lullaby features production by Whibley; the singer's former guitarist, Evan Taubenfeld; and frequent collaborator Butch Walker, as well as songwriter/producer to the stars Max Martin (Britney Spears, Kelly Clarkson), who co-wrote the first single.
