Calvin Harris Sets Guinness World Record For Most #1 Singles On An Album Overtaking Michael Jackson

Today Calvin Harris knocked down another prestigious milestone in his skyrocketing 2013 career timeline, claiming the Guinness World Record for most #1 singles on an album, after being named Forbes #1 highest-paid DJ on the “Top-Earning Celebrities Under 30” list just last month.

With hit single after single in both the US & UK such as “Bounce”, “Feel So Close”, “Let’s Go”, “We’ll Be Coming Back”, “Sweet Nothing”, “Drinking from the Bottle”, “I Need Your Love”, “Thinking About You”, and “We Found Love”, it’s undeniable that Calvin Harris is in fact, the man when it comes to song writing and producing.

The controversy however, comes into play when you take a look at who Calvin Harris overtook to earn this Guinness World Record for most #1 singles on an album; the legendary pop star Michael Jackson. Yes, you read that right the first time. Calvin Harris has taken the crown from Michael Jackson, although Michael still holds six other entries, including Biggest Selling Album Of All Time & Most Successful Concert Series.

Our friend Mutrix added some of his two cents surrounding this controversy via Twitter rant last night, pointing out the fact that Calvin Harris has released all these singles over the past 2 years before putting them all on a single album. He also brings up that besides himself, Calvin Harris recruited the help of 7 different chart-topping artists to collaborate with him on these singles.

Is this fair to Michael Jackson when his singles only featured himself and were released on a single album all at once? Should a new category be made in situations like this to avoid overtaking a self-made legend?
