A WOMAN FROM SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA, SET A NEW WORLD RECORD Saturday for marathon singing, going 76 hours without stopping at a karaoke bar.  Kim Sun-Ok, 54, broke the 75-hour Guinness World Record held by Marcus Lapratt of the United States, the Korea Record Institute said.  (Korea has a record institute?…ed.)

The AFP reports:

She started singing at 11:14 am Thursday and sang a total of 1,283 tunes before she gave up at 3:21 pm Saturday following her family’s appeal for her to quit for the sake of her health.

Under Guinness World Record regulations, she was given 30-second breaks between songs and five-minute breaks every hour. She was also barred from singing any song she had already sung less than four hours earlier, it said.
