Why the runtime of songs have increased drastically over these past few decades.

Question

Listening to older music from the 60’s, songs spanned at most to around mid 2 minute ranges. Now it’s common to see them 4 to 5 minutes.
Please refrain from citing songs over that mark that I’m referring to as I’m aware if the few exceptions.

Answer 1

You are wrong. It hasn’t really. There’s always long and short songs. Especially depending on the music.

Thriller, not radio edited, is long. Stairway to heaven? A bunch of other rock too.
