In April 1999, Yasumasa Kanada and Daisuke Takahashi calculated pi to 68.7 billion places. In September 1999 they improved that to just over 206 billion.
The current record (in May 2016) is 13.3 trillion.
As of April 1999, 68.7 billion places had been calculated. As of September 1999, 206 billion places had been calculated.

Professor Yasumasa Kanada and a team of researchers set a new world record by calculating the value of pi to 1.24 trillion places, project team member Makoto Kudo said yesterday. The previous record, set by Kanada in 1999, was 206.158 billion places. This record (above) has been superceeded as algorithms and computational speeds continue to improve On August 17, 2009, Daisuke Takahashi announced that his team had calculated pi to 2.577 trillion places On December 31, 2009, Fabrice Bellard announce he had calculated pi to about 2.700 trillion places.
Places I Never Meant to Be was created in 1999.
