All The Guinness World Records Set By Justin Bieber

May 2024 · 2 minute read

Justin Bieber didn't just beat The Beatles once; he thrashed them — twice. The Canadian-born singer first surpassed the iconic Brit band in 2015. As per MTV News, Bieber beat the record for "having the most songs in the Billboard Hot 100 chart in a single week" — an achievement previously set and held by The Beatles for 51 years. However, the Biebs became the proud new title owner with 17 songs listed in the December 5, 100 charts, compared to The Beatles 14 in April 1964.

Never one to rest on his laurels, Biebs was back out hitting new milestones just weeks later. In January 2016, Jay-Bee set a brand new Guinness World Record for "first act to occupy the top three positions simultaneously on the UK singles chart." The UK music-buying public clearly couldn't get themselves enough Biebs, as he was at No. 1 with "Love Yourself," No. 2 with "Sorry," and No. 3 with "What Do You Mean?" all at the same time.

J-Bizzle was the first ever musical act to score the UK charts trifecta. A handful of acts, such as Elvis Presley and The Beatles, had all managed only to secure the top two spots simultaneously. Then according to The Guardian, after "Purpose" dropped in November 2015, Bieber had a cool eight songs on the UK singles top 40 charts at the same time. No, that's not something that happens every day. Or, like, ever: Bieber was the first to have that many singles on the UK chart simultaneously.
