LONDON, May 4 (Reuters) - It is not the ⁠record that Chelsea's owners dreamt of when they bought the club four years ago - Monday's 3-1 home defeat by Nottingham Forest means ⁠the Londoners have now lost six league games in a row for the first time since 1993.

READ these words: Pen. Pineapple. Apple. Pen.

If these words evoke memories of a wacky song and infectious jingle, welcome - you're missing the simpler times. For the uninitiated, these words are part of the infamous song that caught the world by surprise a decade ago. It's PPAP , a tune performed by Japanese comedian Pikotaro. In October 2016, PPAP was frequently played worldwide, which made it into the US Billboard Top 100 list.

As the 45-second song with limited English words, it also achieved a Guinness World Record of the shortest song to chart in the Billboard Hot 100. Of course, before PPAP managed to hit that level of fame, Canadian singer Justin Bieber tweeted to his followers in September 2016 that it was 'his favourite video on the Internet" sang the catchy song"Steve's Lava Chicken", and the song started to pick up traction among the fans of the movie.

The song made it to the US Billboard Hot 100, and with its length being 34-seconds long, it took the Guinness World Record from PPAP. Of course, this is not Black's first song on the chart. Another song of his, Peaches, from the Super Mario Bros Movie , made it into the charts as well. While PPAP is no longer has that record, it is still an enjoyable song to listen to.
