Nicholas Bullen, writer of the song's four-word lyrics, said that the brevity of "You Suffer" was inspired by Wehrmacht's 1985 song "E!". The song has since been recognized by Guinness World Records as the shortest ever recorded.
We all know the record for shortest song on the Hot 100 overall is Maurice Williams and the Zodiacs' "Stay," which went 1:36, and reached No. 1 in November 1960.
"The Prophet's Song" was composed by Brian May (working title "People of the Earth") and is the longest Queen song, at 8 minutes and 17 seconds, exceeding Bohemian Rhapsody by 2 minutes and 22 seconds.
"Old Town Road" holds the record for the longest stretch at No. 1 with 19 weeks.
1. “Bohemian Rhapsody” Queen's most enduring and beloved song remains one of their most mysterious. The six-minute classic was written by Freddie Mercury, breaking most rules of convention songwriting by omitting a chorus and shifting tones wildly through the course of the tune.
“Roar.” “Royals.” “Radioactive.” Notice a common thread among these recent hits?
This is one of the most common misconceptions. Unfortunately, this is not true and there is no bright line rule that says a use is an acceptable use as long as you only use 5, 15, or 30 seconds of a song. Any use of copyrighted material without permission is, according to U.S. copyright law, copyright infringement.
Organ2/ASLSP (As Slow as Possible) is a musical piece by John Cage and the subject of one of the longest-lasting musical performances yet undertaken.
The root of the "three-minute" length is likely derived from the original format of 78 rpm-speed phonograph records; at about 3 to 5 minutes per side, it's just long enough for the recording of a complete song. The rules of the Eurovision Song Contest do not permit entries to be longer than three minutes.
There's certainly (much) longer songs out there, but it seems like that length is relatively uncommon to music that usually average 4 - 5 minutes in length. 6 minutes is longer than that average, but only slightly and not really that uncommon.
A three-minute song would usually be around 80 to 90 bars in total depending on the BPM. Taking into account all types of music, the 'average' song has 108 beats per minute. This then equals around 324 beats for three minutes and 81 beats in a song of this length.
1) BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY by Queen
But let's face it, Bohemian Rhapsody is just impossible to sing by yourself because of those multiple voices that are essential to the song.
The second best-selling single in the history of the Official Charts, Bohemian Rhapsody has had the honour of becoming Number 1 twice; once upon its original release in 1975 for nine weeks, and then once again in 1991 following the death of Queen's effervescent front man Freddie Mercury.
"Friday" has been widely described as the worst song ever recorded, attracting derision for its weak lyrical content and its vocals that were excessively processed by Auto-Tune. Produced by Patrice Wilson, the song became an Internet sensation, making it the subject of multiple parodies and ridicule.

A single is considered 1-3 songs that are each less than 10 minutes in length. When releasing a single, don't add “- Single” to your track or album titles.
In popular music, a verse roughly corresponds to a poetic stanza because it consists of rhyming lyrics most often with an AABB or ABAB rhyme scheme. When two or more sections of the song have almost identical music but different lyrics, each section is considered one verse.
"Mother Love" is a song by Queen, from the album Made in Heaven, released in 1995 after Freddie Mercury's death in 1991. It was written by Mercury and Brian May. Mercury recorded two out of three verses before becoming too sickly to continue recording, so May recorded the final verse himself later.
