Apparently it wasn't too late for Justin Bieber to say sorry. Guinness World Records announced Monday night that the pop star's latest album, Purpose, landed him in its 2017 edition not once, twice, but a whopping eight times.

The 22-year-old pop star set world records for the most-streamed track and the most-streamed album on Spotify in a week, with "What Do You Mean?" and Purpose, respectively. He also won records for having 17 tracks on the Billboard Hot 100 at once, having 13 simultaneous new entries on the Billboard Hot 100, and for being the first artist to simultaneously fill the top three spots on the U.K. singles chart.

His other records stemmed from his social media use: Bieber won the record for having the most Twitter followers with 82,235,563, as well as the most YouTube subscribers of any male and the most-viewed YouTube channel.
