The Dominican singer Carlos Silver, whose attempt to set a world record for 106 hours of singing, was turned down.

Carlos Silver, a Dominican musician, had a devastating setback in April 2019 while attempting to beat the record for the longest solo singing marathon. Guinness World Records rejected his attempt to break the record even though he sang nonstop for an incredible 106 hours because he did not adhere to strict requirements.

Silver put up a heroic performance, singing nonstop for more than five days and over 5,000 songs. He easily broke the previous record of 105 hours, which was achieved in 2012 by Sunil Waghmare of India. Silver's achievement was called into question, nevertheless.

Video footage proved that Silver was taking longer than the permitted 30-second intervals between songs, according to Guinness officials. Some breaks went over two minutes, which is against the organization's strict policies.

Silver attempted to break the record twice in 2016, the first time being unsuccessful. Despite his disappointment, the resolute vocalist contended that his rapid song changes should lessen the effect of extended pauses.

Silver demonstrated remarkable vocal endurance and tenacity by singing for a continuous 106 hours. Nevertheless, after accomplishing an incredible feat, the Dominican Republic's heroic attempt was invalidated due to small departures from the record rules. The result demonstrates the extremely exacting requirements set by Guinness World Records. Silver's remarkable singing endurance was unable to compensate for his split-second mistakes that went beyond the allotted break period. On a technicality, his desire of getting into the books is still unrealized.
