Yesterday we asked how many World titles this year's World Champions have in total. No correct answers from our Twitter followers unfortunately, so here's the answer!
Boys - 29
Girls - 37
Total - 66!!!
That's right, between them this year's World Champions hold 66 world solo titles between them. Some were first time champions, like Michael Holland, Olivia Griffin, and of course both u11 champions. Some were multiple champions - Suzanne Coyle, John Lonergan, Niamh Taylor and Sean Downes each won their fifth title in Belfast. Here's the full list:
Michael Holland, Olivia Griffin, Melissa McCarthy, Melanie Valdes, Ruairi McCabe and Emma Casey - all hold 1 title each.
Cathal Keaney, Peter Dziak, John Whitehurst, Ronan Kelly, Brogan McCay and Keeva Corry - all hold 2 titles each.
David Geaney, Caolan McKeating-Lynch, Jack Quinn and Shannon Bradley - all hold 3 titles each.
Therese Corless, Sinead Carson, Michaela Hinds and Cyra Taylor - all hold 4 titles each.
Suzanne Coyle, John Lonergan, Niamh Taylor and Sean Downes - all have won 5 titles each.
So that's the titles held by current world champions - but plenty of former world champions competed in Belfast too. Any idea how many titles they hold between them? Answers @irishdancefacts!

World Wins by Region
The league table for World titles by region looks like this:
Ulster: 133
Leinster: 117
Munster: 98
Midlands England: 92
Southern England: 58*
Scotland: 24
Connacht: 23
Mid-Atlantic USA: 20
North West England: 17
Eastern Canada: 16
Mid-America USA: 15
New England USA: 6
Australia: 4*
Western USA: 3
North East England: 1
Southern USA: 1
By country:
Island of Ireland: 371
Mainland UK: 192*
USA: 45
Canada: 16
Australia: 4*
For individual winners from each region, the list is as follows:
Ulster: 61
Munster: 40
Leinster: 36
Southern England: 36*
Midlands England: 32
Connacht: 15
Mid-Atlantic USA: 15
Mid-America USA: 12
North West England: 10
Eastern Canada: 9
Scotland: 8
Australia: 4*
New England USA: 3
Western USA: 3
North East England: 1
Southern USA: 1
And finally the averages just for fun - number of titles divided by number of individual champions:
Leinster: 3.25
Scotland: 3
Midlands England: 2.87
Munster: 2.45
Ulster: 2.18
New England USA: 2
Eastern Canada: 1.77
North West England: 1.7
Southern England: 1.61
Connacht: 1.53
Mid-Atlantic USA: 1.33
Mid-America USA: 1.25
Australia: 1
North East England: 1
Western USA: 1
Southern USA: 1
...so that means champion dancer from Leinster won an average of 3.25 each.
Please excuse any rusty geography - Irish dance regions don't always make sense!
We're not trying to make a political point about Northern Ireland...it just makes sense to group them together as Ulster dancers qualify at the All-Irelands rather than any of the mainland British majors...
