TOKYO: A Japanese comedian´s nonsense tune that became an internet sensation after Justin Bieber recommended it has entered the Guinness World Records as the shortest song to break into the Billboard Hot 100.
The video for the 45-second long "Pen-Pineapple-Apple-Pen" has been viewed more than 67 million times since hitting YouTube in August, going viral after pop giant Bieber tweeted it as his "favourite video on the internet".
"I´m surprised by this sudden popularity," said the 53-year-old comedian, who goes by Pikotaro, just before receiving the award on Friday at a packed press conference.
"Without Justin´s impact, I think only four people would have showed up in this room," he joked.
