By listening to radio music by the age I am I was conditioned to think that 3-4 minutes is the "right" duration for a track.
Then, getting interested in music from other decades I started listening to popular songs from the 60's and I realized that most songs had a duration of about 2-3 minutes.
I think that tracks becoming shorter would be a logical thing to happen, given the internet and social media contributing to shorter attention spans and the availability of music on streaming platforms.
Did anyone noticed any trend in that direction: of songs durations getting shorter ?
I'm talking about mainstream music, the kind most people listen to.
