Just days after wowing audiences by closing the American Music Awards with a bang, pop star Justin Bieber has entered an exclusive club.  So exclusive that he is actually the lone member.

The Stratford, Ont. native has managed to land 17 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 all at one time/simultaneously (?), smashing the old record of 14 shared by the Beatles and another Canadian music star, Drake.

The Beatles achieved the feat on April 11, 1964 which Drake has equalled twice this year, on March 7 as well as Oct. 17.

Bieber placed an impressive 13 new songs on the chart, adding to his list of milestones.
