(on the Net there's huge amount of good discussion about ... are novels getting longer now?)

............... it seems that new songs have gotten shorter and shorter. But you're not imagining this; a recent report from Quartz finds a change in the average length of pop songs. From 2013 to 2018, the average song on the Billboard Hot 100 went from 3 minutes and 50 seconds to 3 minutes and 30 seconds.

https://www.quora.com/Why-are-most-of-The-Beatles-songs-so-short

When the Beatles appeared on the scene, pop singles had a short running time, mostly because of radio airplay, which demanded track of no more than two minutes and half.

In fact it was the Beatles that helped shift pop music into something more artistic in which songs could be longer. That shift happened towards the end of the sixties, as “progressive rock” developed.

Then in the seventies, song length became a real issue with bands like Yes or Genesis experimenting with over twenty minute songs. Or Queen releasing a six minute single.
