'Beliebing'
Chart-topping popstar Justin Bieber took no prisoners in this year’s Guinness World Records. He won a number of awards with the most streamed track on Spotify in one week being "What Do You Mean" as well as winning an award for the most followers on Twitter and the first act to occupy all top three positions simultaneously on the UK singles chart. Well done Mr. Bieber!
Vertical Holding
This recorde breaker has extremely strong arms. Markus Ferber from Germany held Clarissa Beyelschmidt, also from Germany, above his head in a standing position, on one hand for 1 minute and 16 seconds. He achieved this in 2010 and hats off to him as his record is still standing strong.
RecordDanger Ant

This record-breaking ant is the world's most dangerous, also known as the "bulldog ant" (Myrmecia pyriformis). It's mostly found in the coastal regions of Australia. In an attack it uses its sting and jaws simultaneously. There have been at least three human fatalities since 1936, the latest - a farmer in 1988.
The "bulldog ant" earned its name because of its ferocity and determination during an attack. It is extremely aggressive and shows little fear of human beings, stinging a number of times in quick succession and therefore injecting more venom with each bite.
