On 22 July 2007, Singaporean pop singer J.J. Lam (aka Lin Junjie) set about challenging the world record for the most CDs consecutively autographed, in the northern Chinese municipality of Tianjin, where he would be promoting his latest album, West Side. All planning was coordinated by Tianjin Rollingrock Electronic Audio CD Ltd Corporation.

On the day, a huge crowd of over 3,000 fans turned up, all waiting to get their new CD (published by Ocean Butterflies Music Co Ltd) signed by the singer, and in doing so helping their idol achieve his record-breaking quest!

The signing session started at 1:30 p.m. in a shopping mall swarming with J.J. Lam’s fans – including those who had travelled from Beijing, as well as more local followers from Tianjin. The atmosphere was amazing. J.J. Lam kicked off the signing at an incredible pace and did not stop until he was sure he had set a new world record!

After 2 hr, 29 min of intense activity, he had autographed a staggering 3,052 CDs – the equivalent of 20 CDs per minute! In doing so, he smashed the previous record of 2,852 autographs in eight hours.

The official Guinness World Records™ Adjudicator in China, Angela Wu, was delighted to announce another world record and presented an excited J.J. Lam with the official record certificate.
