What are songs that have gone top 40 on CHR/Pop that are less than 3 minutes?
Supergirl - Saving Jane: 2:58, #39 peak
Teenagers - My Chemical Romance: 2:41, #22 peak
Tina Parol - Who's Got Your Money: 2:38, #36 peak
If you don't know the peak or exact length that's okay.

Hot Mess by Cobra Starship is like 2:50, but I think that peaked a little outside of the top 40.

The album version of "The Way I Are" is 2:59, but the radio-edit extended it by about 20 seconds.

Don't forget the theme from Miami Vice by Jan Hammer. It was a #1 and I don't think it was even two minutes.

SOS Jonas Brothers
Green Day- Good Riddance Time of Your Life
I think it should be songs under 2:45 which is a lot less common.

You know, I wish people would start writing shorter songs again. A lot of Prince songs are like 2.5 minutes. And most Beatles songs from their pop albums are like 2 minutes too. Its fun to listen to.
Enough with the 5 minute songs, it gets very tired very quickly.

Completely insignificant, all of them, compared to the granddaddy of them all, Maurice Williams and the Zodiacs' "Stay" (1960). Barely 1:37, it is the shortest hit ever to hit #1 on the Hot 100.

I'm not sure if this makes the cut, but "Where My Girls At?" (Album version) was 2:47 but the radio edit was 3:10??? I guess it wouldn't make the cut or would it? Anyway, I believe it peaked at #1 on Rhythmic Top 40.

The longer, the more sophisticated or ferocious, the better. If it has to be long, let it be filled with music and lyrics. I can't stand long songs with 3 minute intros and breakdowns and shit. Its just very tired. Like "Its All Coming Back To Me" is long and epic and fantastic- it appears to have like 5 verses, lol. But George Michael- Freedom '90- wow... 6 minutes of what? Instrumentation? Chanting "Freedom" over and over? Its a 3 minute song stretched to its limits. Those are the sort of songs I'm talking about. Stuff like Bohemian Rhapsody and A Day in the Life are fine, because there's actually a REASON they're so fuckin long. |
