Justin Bieber Breaks The Beatles Long Standing Billboard Record
Breaking hearts and records one album at a time.
With his new album 'Purpose.' Justin Bieber has broken The Beatles' 51 year-old record of having the most songs in a week on Billboard's Hot 100.
The Beatles had the most when they got 14 songs in a week on April 11, 1964. Their songs "Can't Buy Me Love" and "Twist and Shout" were the top two songs on the chart. Drake recently matched their record twice this year in March and October with albums If You're Reading This It's Too Late and What a Time to Be Alive with rapper Future.
Bieber, 21, broke the record with 17 songs in a week on Billboard's Dec. 5 Hot 100, which is the most that any artist has ever done. The singer's album is also No. 1 on Billboard's Dec. 5 200 Chart. This is the sixth time that he has had an album at number 1 on Billboard's chart.
All but one song on the album made the Hot 100 chart. Here is the list below:
No. 2, "Sorry" (up from No. 3)
No. 4, "Love Yourself" (New)
No. 5, "What Do You Mean?" (up from No. 6)
No. 19, "I'll Show You" (up from No. 27)
No. 31, "The Feeling," featuring Halsey
No. 34, "Where Are U Now" (Skrillex & Diplo with Bieber) (up from No. 49)
No. 42, "Mark My Words" (New)
No. 43, "Purpose" (New)
No. 49, "No Pressure," featuring Big Sean (New)
No. 53, "Company" (New)
No. 54, "No Sense," featuring Travi$ Scot (New)
No. 67, "Life Is Worth Living" (New)
No. 74, "Children" (New)
No. 81, "Been You" (New)
No. 88, "We Are," featuring Nas (New)
No. 90, "Get Used to Me" (New)
No. 98, "Trust" (New)
Even though their record has been broken, according to Billboard, The Beatles "locked up the top five" of the Hot 100 chart in April 1964, which no other artist has still been able to do.
