She said that in addition to the longest sing-a-thon attempt which many know of, her team also applied for four other GWR attempts. These are; the first Ghanaian and African female to perform for five continuous days, the longest-lasting musical event in Ghana and Africa, the first musical show to attract eight DJs in continuous performance across five days, and the first female to attempt a singing marathon.

“I think the current attempt I did captures four records, but many haven’t paid attention. There are many records that I have broken, but you have to apply for them separately," she said.

Mrs Aduonum further explained that she did the GWR for the longest singing marathon, however, it applies to about four or five other records on their platforms. Adding that she would apply for them separately.
