"For Sorry to become the first track in Official Chart history to pass the 100 million mark is a record which can never be taken away from Justin," notes Official Charts Company CEO Martin Talbot. "It is, perhaps, the four-minute mile of music streaming. A remarkable feat, a first which will be Justin's record forever."
"What Do You Mean" and "Love Yourself" are also closing in on the 100 million streams milestone. The Purpose singles have clocked-up 98.6 million and 94.3 million streams, respectively, and they're expected to hit the magical mark in the weeks ahead.
