CD9, a popular boyband from Mexico, has signed their way into the annals of Guinness World Records by breaking the record for Most CDs consecutively signed by the artist.
 
On April 25 the group signed an astonishing 6,194 CDs without breaks in a record attempt that lasted nearly 4 hours and 54 minutes.
 
 
Five days later in Plaza Cuicuilco in Mexico City, the group received their official Guinness World Records certificate, met thousands of excited fans, and distributed the CDs they signed during the attempt.

Performers Jos Canela, Alonso Villalpando, Freddy Leyva, Alan Navarro and Bryan Mouque organised the attempt to show appreciation for their dedicated fans, who are nicknamed “coders,” and to celebrate the release of their new album, Evolution.
 
Evolution is the second full length album for the five piece boyband, following the self-titled album released in 2014.
 
Under the official guidelines for this record, each member of the group needed to place their signature on each CD consecutively, and they could not stop signing for more than 30 seconds until the last CD was signed.

Guinness World Records adjudicator Sarah Casson was at the event to present an official certificate to the group. “A few months ago CD9 contacted us because they wanted to break a record that involved their fans. Today it’s wonderful to see how excited the fans are about the group’s record-breaking accomplishment,” said Casson.
 
“We are so happy. This achievement is beyond our wildest dreams!” said Freddy Leyva, one member of the pop group.
 
Another member, Jos Canela, tweeted that he was particularly thrilled about the record because he loved reading the Guinness World Records books as a child.
