Calvin Harrishas broken late legend Michael Jackson's UK chart record by scoring the most top ten singles from one album.

The Scottish DJ has notched up eight top ten singles from his 18 months LP after reaching No.7 with Ellie Goulding collaboration I Need Your Love on Sunday's chart (April 21).

8 top 10s from my album 18 Months now! So happy!!!

— Calvin Harris (@CalvinHarris) April 21, 2013

The King of Pop previously held the record after achieving seven top ten hits from his 1987 album, Bad.

Harris took to Twitter to celebrate the milestone, writing: "8 top 10s from my album 18 Months now! So happy!!!"

I'll never dance, sing or be an ultimate musical legend & icon like MJ but he didn't know anything about sidechaining so it all balances out

— Calvin Harris (@CalvinHarris) April 22, 2013

He then went on to joke that he's the "new MJ" before adding: "!I'll never dance, sing or be an ultimate musical legend & icon like MJ but he didn't know anything about sidechaining so it all balances out."

Calvin's 18 Months album  - which has sold over 543,000 copies in the UK since its release last October - boasts of No.1 hits such as Rihanna's We Found Love and Florence Welch tune Sweet Nothing.

Yep i'm the new MJ lmaooo RT @officialcharts @calvinharris has beaten @michaeljackson's Chart record by scoring 8 #Top10 hits from 1 album

— Calvin Harris (@CalvinHarris) April 22, 2013

Martin Talbot, the Official Charts Company's Managing Director, commented: "Many artists only achieve a handful of hits in their entire careers, so for any act to secure three or four from one album is an excellent achievement.

"In turn, eight Top 10s from one album is not just impressive, it is absolutely remarkable. And, of course, record breaking. Congratulations to Calvin Harris, THE modern day hit-maker."
