Longest single

And Creedence's version of I Heard it Through the Grapevine went for over 11 minutes and as it did chart, I think it counts. This would create a number with nearly 139 million digits or 277 million in stereo. I think I was forgetting the fact that the single version of JOS only goes for 6 1/2 minutes. Thatsongsoundslike made a comment on YouTube which made me realise I was wrong to think of the boundary between separate songs being in bandwidth, as if you were to slow down or speed up a song, it would have a completely different pattern of bits, or probably more correctly, one would just have patterns of bits in between some patterns in common. We can probably get around the situation of slowing a song down with the already established idea of a set length, and limit the concept of speeding a song up by requiring that we are still able to hear every element of the music.
