Justin Bieber Breaks 51-Year-Old Beatles Record
Justin Bieber has just broken the Beatles' 51-year-old record for having the most songs in the Hot 100 in a single week.
The 21-year-old "What Do You Mean?" singer now has 17 songs on the Dec. 5 edition of Billboard's Hot 100, according to Billboard.
Back on April 11, 1964, the Beatles held the record with 14 songs on the singles chart. Drake managed to tie that record on March 7 and Oct. 17 this year, although now Bieber has surpassed them both.
The 17 songs now on the Billboard Hot 100 chart are "Sorry" at No. 3, "Love Yourself" at No. 4, "What Do You Mean?" at No. 5, "I'll Show You" at No. 19, "The Feeling" featuring Halsey at No. 31, "Where Are U Now" (Skrillex & Diplo with Bieber) at No. 34, "Mark My Words" at No. 42, "Purpose" at No. 43, "No Pressure" featuring Big Sean at No. 49, "Company" at No. 53, "No Sense" featuring Travi$ Scott at No. 54, "Life Is Worth Living" at No. 67, "Children" at No. 74, "Been You" at No. 81, "We Are" featuring Nas at No. 88, "Get Used to Me" at No. 90, and "Trust" at No. 98.
In addition to this record, Bieber also tied with the Beatles and 50 Cent for having three songs in the Billboard Hot 100 top five at once.
On top of these records, Bieber has also topped the Billboard 200 chart with his fourth studio album, "Purpose," which was released on Friday. So far, the album has produced the singles "Sorry" and "What Do You Mean?" This album is the follow-up to his 2012 album, "Believe," which produced the singles "Boyfriend," "As Long as You Love Me," "Beauty and a Beat," "Right Here" and "All Around the World."
Bieber recently announced his 58-date Purpose World Tour. The singer kicks off the tour on March 9 in Seattle and will end the run at New York's Madison Square Garden on July 18.
