MICHAEL JACKSON DROPS BY GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS
TO COLLECT HIS OFFICIAL RECORD CERTIFICATES
Guinness World Records London Head Quarters today welcomed the world’s biggest superstar
through its doors for an honorary record presentation. Michael Jackson, a self confessed
Guinness World Records fan since childhood, contacted Guinness World Records ahead of his
visit to request that he could collect his multiple Guinness World Record certificates during his
trip to London this week.
With a staggering eight records mapping career highlights over the last quarter of a century,
Michael Jackson is one of Guinness World Records longest standing record holders. The
records span from Youngest vocalist to top the US singles chart, (aged 11, fronting The
Jackson Five) and First vocalist to enter the US single chart at No.1 ("You Are Not Alone")
to Most weeks at the top of the US album charts (non-soundtrack) (37 weeks for Thriller);
Most successful music video (Thriller sold over 1 million units); First entertainer to earn
more than $100 million in a year to Highest paid entertainer of all time ($125 million in
1989 Forbes list). His ultimate and latest accolade was also presented to him: Most
successful entertainer of all time.
Michael arrived at Guinness World Records offices in North West London at 4pm this afternoon
with his entourage - a fleet of black and silver people carriers. Wearing his signature black
three quarter length dinner jacket and trousers with yellow piping, he arrived amidst an army of
fans who had followed him from the hotel.
He was greeted by Guinness World Records Editor, Craig Glenday, and given a whirlwind tour
of the offices and shown weird and wonderful exhibits from the ‘Guinness World Records
Cabinet of Curioddities’, including the world’s oldest vomit and tallest man ever’s shoes.
Michael was then presented with his record certificates, a copy of the latest edition of the book
and a special edition from the year he was born (1958). Evidently delighted with the accolades
he holds in high esteem, Michael said: “I’ve always been a big fan of the book. Thank you so
much – it’s a great honour to visit the Guinness World Records offices.”
Michael Jackson is in London for his first UK performance in nine years. He is due to be
presented with a Diamond Award at the World Music Awards in Earls Court on Wednesday
evening. He will also sing tracks from his Thriller album, bringing it back to life after 25 years.
Guinness World Records Editor, Craig Glenday, will also be reuniting with the star on
Wednesday evening to present him with his eighth Guinness World Record.
Guinness World Records Editor Craig Glenday said: “We always expect the unexpected here
at Guinness World Records. From the world’s tallest man, woman with the longest fingernails
and most pierced woman, we’re used to all walks of life stopping by the office, but we haven’t
been this excited since we met the Queen last year. Michael is one of the greatest superstars
of all time and his unwavering success has kept him at the very top of the record breaking
charts throughout his career. We’re absolutely delighted that Michael holds Guinness World
Records in such high regard and honoured that he’s taken time out of his busy schedule to stop
by and collect them in person.”
