The Guinness World Records world record for the most selfies (self-portraits) taken simultaneously was 4,296 achieved at an event organized by Nathan's Famous Hotdogs (USA) at Busch Stadium, St. Louis, Missouri, USA on May 16 2015.

     Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the longest self photographs (selfies) relay chain involved 586 participants, achieved by Meizu Technology Co., Ltd (China), in Zhuhai, Guangdong, China on 10 January 2016.

    The Los Angeles Angels fans set a new World record for the largest gathering of people using selfie sticks.

    You cannot normally use "Selfie Sticks" at the ballpark but the Angeles put on #BigASelfieDay as a promotion and based on the response it was wildly successful.

    This is now the seventh straight season the Angels have set a new world record.
     Last season it was for the largest gathering of people wearing sombreros , which coincided with Cinco de Mayo.
