Justin Bieber Scores Eight Entries In Guinness World Records 2017 Edition

Following a record-breaking year after the success of his fourth studio album, Purpose, Justin Bieber has sung his way into the Guinness World Records book with an impressive set of eight entries for the 2017 edition.

Hot on the heels of his fourth studio album, the Canadian singer has earned the record for the most streamed album on Spotify (in one week) with Purpose and most streamed track with What Do You Mean?

Justin, 22, is also recognised for being the first artist to occupy all top three positions simultaneously on the UK singles chart with the release of Love Yourself (No. 1), Sorry (No. 2) and What Do You Mean? (No. 3) last year.

Across the pond, the singer-songwriter holds the record for the most simultaneous tracks on the US singles chart for the 17 singles that he placed on the Billboard Hot 100 in December 2015.

Additionally he achieved the most simultaneous new entries in the Hot 100 by a solo artist, with 13 songs from his latest album on the Hot 100 dated December 5, 2015.

He has also scored a record number of followers on Twitter with over 85M fans, the most watched music channel on YouTube with 10,478,651,389 views and the most subscribers for a male musician with 20,711,202.

Guinness World Records presented the Sorry hitmaker with his certificates in celebration of his record-breaking achievements before one of his sold-out shows on his Purpose World Tour at Madison Square Garden, New York.

However, one month later, Justin seems to have disregarded his digital dominance and deactivated his Instagram account after threatening to quit the picture-sharing platform over abuse directed at his new girlfriend Sofia Richie.

On Monday the singer appeared to end his self-imposed exile from the site, with photos and videos re-emerging on his profile, but Beliebers were left disappointed when he tweeted: “Still no Instagram it was an accident.”

The Guinness World Records 2017 Edition is available on 8 September 2016 priced at £20.
