While everyone has been focused on Adele's potential record-breaking sales numbers, Justin Bieber has been quietly breaking records of his own.

Back in April 1964, The Beatles broke the record for most songs in the Billboard Top 100 at the same time, when their singles 'Can't Buy Me Love' and 'Twist and Shout' topped the chart, but were merely two out of 14 songs which they had simultaneously in the chart.

On November 13th of this year, Justin Bieber released his new album Purpose, and 17 of the 18 tracks from the deluxe version of his album have since placed in the Hot 100 chart:

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 (NEW)
No. 34, "Where Are U Now" (w/ Skrillex & Diplo) (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$ Scott (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)

However, The Beatles still hold the record for being the only act to hold position in the entire Top Five on the chart, and it will likely be a while before anyone tops The Fab Four in that regard.
