Didn't Metallica's 'One' go top 10? Is that 7 mins plus?

'Hocus Pocus' sure was a long one too. Yaddle-diddle-daddle-diddle-daddle-diddle-daddle-diddle-yaddle-diddle--diddle-daddle-hey-woohoo! I mean, the chorus alone takes five frigging minutes to write out.

The shortest a-side track? Whatever Liam Lynch.

Shortest 'title' would be "Theme from Space Invaders" Yellow Magic Orchestra, which was 8 secs (20 secs on the 12")

I thank yez.

Oh, my "Blue Room" CD single track registers at 40' 1" which is quite tall. Long I mean.

i guess the shortest hit song will soon be a ringtone, once they are counted in the charts !

I was thinking that Jan Hammer's "Miami Vice Theme" which hit #1 in 1985 would take this, but apparently the single version that charted was 2:26 (extended from the 1:03 version that actually played over the show's opening credits).
