Answer 1

A particularly long song to actually chart is Iron Butterlys Inna gadda divida and Don mcleans American Pie, they have radio edits but the album ver. of each are over 10 mins. this isn't that long , but these songs actually charted and had radio play unlike others' answers- Charlie Daniels band country song The Devil Went Down to Georgia ain't short either

Robert Rich is an ambient artist that released a CD called Somnium (actually on a DVD) and its 7 hours long, its meant to be listened all the way through, but there are three parts, the longest is the first, clocking in at 155 minutes, or 2 hours and 35 minutes

the longest song in existence isn't finished yet, and will conclude in the year 3000, it can be heard at longplayer.org

Answer 3

American pie ...don mclean


==================


> American pie ...don mclean


Not according to Fred Bronson's The Billboard Book of Number One Hits. In the 1997 edition, Bronson names The Beatles' "Hey Jude" (1968), at 7:11, to be the longest #1 single of all time. This edition takes Don McLean's "American Pie" single (1972) into account.

While the complete album version of "American Pie" is indeed longer (at 8:27), the single was split into two parts. Even though radio DJs apparently did favour the long version, this is possibly why "Hey Jude" is considered a longer single.

Meat Loaf's "I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)" is 12:00 on the album version. The U.S. single edit, which hit #1, is only 5:09 in length.

World Record by Glenn Davis Doctor G. It may also literally be a World's Record since it is a notable commercially released album by an "established artist" for sale by third-party legitimate known retailers which would satisfy the requirements in order to be verified as a recognized World Record.
