\u201cBut I can tell you this much, I say it to the baldies all the time at the shows, \u2018When you put on them bald caps, you know you\u2019re about to have the time of your life!\u2019<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd now you\u2019re officially in the Guinness Book of World Records!\u201d<\/p>\n
To feature in the bald cap count, fans had to stick to strict rules, including tucking all their hair under at the front, standing in a specific area and keeping the cap on for a full minute.<\/p>\n

Naturally bald people didn\u2019t count either. They had to be wearing an actual bald cap to be valid.<\/p>\n
However, the record achievement was somewhat undermined by the fact that there wasn\u2019t a record to beat – Pitbull\u2019s was the first of its kind in the famous book.<\/p>\n
In the comments section of a video of Pitbull accepting the honour, one person wrote: \u201cWhat a seven days @greg_james has had.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat spectacular nonsense!\u201d<\/p>\n
The fan was referring to the fact that James has just returned from America, where he attended the wedding of his pal Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.<\/p>\n
Another added: \u201cOne week at Taylor swifts wedding!! The next week putting a bald cap on pitbull – you\u2019re living literally everyone\u2019s dream!\u201d<\/p>\n

DJ Jack Remmington initially had the first thought about organising such a record-breaking attempt, and took to Instagram to share a video of the moment.<\/p>\n
\u201cGuys if you could see the smile on my face right now,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m so appreciative to Greg and the Radio 1 team for keeping me involved every step of the way.
