He really is the pinnacle

He changed the industry!!! Before OTR, short songs (2:59 or less) were somewhat rare. Now it’s the industry standard! We love to see that kind of power

Now that is not true. Song lenght standards change all the time

3??????????? wtf

oh my god, feel like just yesterday swifties everywhere were collapsing as he blocked not one but two of Taylor's songs

Its crazy how fast time flies. It's also amazing how far he's come since. He has surpassed all expectations after he was deemed a one hit wonder by the doubters.

You don’t think it’s suspicious at all that after OTR (which is 1:53 in length and 2:37 with Billy Ray) became the most successful song ever, artists started primarily making songs that clock in at 2:59 or less?  short songs were a thing before but I genuinely believe they became the standard after OTR smashed

I think song length shortening has a lot more to do with the rise of tiktok, which incidentally became key in the success and longevity of Old Town Road.

No I am not surprised, they have been mostly short or long for decades. They always change.
