Afua Asantewaa Singathon Second Attempt Unsuccessful
The determined Afua Asantewaa Aduonum reattempted the singing marathon “Singathon” on December 21, 2024, in Kumasi (Heroes’ Park of the Baba Yara Stadium) after her first unsuccessful attempt in December 2023.
The current record holder Sunil Waghmare of India sang for 105 hours below the 121 hours and 39 minutes sang by Afua Asantewaa. Her unsuccessful attempts are as a result of not following the guidelines provided by GWR.
Following a post she shared on her social media on Thursday, 8th of May, 2025, supported by screenshots of the response from Guiness World Records (GWR) on her second attempt.
“It’s been a challenging yet rewarding journey, and an incredible experience. Having had the opportunity to explore my potential on the esteemed Guinness World Records platform on two occasions has led to discovery, growth, development, success, and life-altering events that have shaped my being,” as stated in her statement shared on social media.
“UPDATE ON GUINNESS WORLD RECORD LONGEST SINGING MARATHON INDIVIDUAL – SECOND ATTEMPT #2.0 Record attempt was unsuccessful,”
“I, on behalf of my dedicated team, would like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone who has supported, cheered, provided constructive criticism, been inspired, encouraged, and believed in my journey”.

Excerpts from her post states that;
Application disqualified –
Our expert Record Managers have reviewed the evidence you provided and unfortunately this claim is not valid due to the guidelines (rules) not being met.
As stated in the guidelines:
“Rest breaks are the only point where the claimant may stop performing the activity during the attempt.”
“You are allowed 5 minutes rest for every continuously completed hour of activity.”
Activity and Rest sequence 19 shows you took a 15-minute break at 23:25 when you only had 5 minutes of rest time to use. The record attempt was therefore failed at this point. You also took 105 minutes at sequence 21 when you only had 10 minutes of accrued rest time.
We can only approve a record when all of the rules have been followed, as that is how we ensure fairness across all record attempts.
We congratulate you on your efforts and hope you can understand our reasoning for the rejection.
