Guinness World Records has officially announced that Afua Asantewaa's endeavor to establish the record for the longest individual singing marathon was unsuccessful. In a tweet dated Friday, February 23, 2024, the official response expressed hope for another attempt in the future.
On December 24, Asantewaa initiated her mission to break the Guinness World Record for the longest singing marathon, captivating audiences for an impressive 126 hours and 52 minutes. Originally planned to end on December 27, she extended her continuous singing for five days after consultations with her team.

The event, held at the Akwaaba Village in Accra near the Kotoka International Airport, drew massive attendance, with various showbiz personalities including Nana Ama McBrown, Kwabena Kwabena, Efya, and others demonstrating collective support.
Unfortunately Afua's Guinness World Records attempt for the longest singing marathon was not successful, but we hope that she will make another attempt soon. We've seen how inspirational it has been for her fans. The evidence check had already begun before Afua requested priority…

Despite positive commentaries and encouragement, Asantewaa's record attempt faced disqualification. Earlier in the month, she revealed paying $750 for a priority review, which was eventually refunded by Guinness World Records.
Sunil Waghmare from India holds the current record for the longest singing marathon, achieving an impressive 105 hours in Nagpur, India, from March 3 to March 7, 2012. The record-breaking attempt featured a diverse selection of unique songs, concluding with a celebratory sing-along.
