Detailed explanation-1: -Most pop songs are three minutes long because in the earlier times they needed to be of a certain length to fit in a record… These flat records would come in two sizes: 10 inches and 12 inches. The 10-inch flat record could fit in three minutes of music while the 12-inch flat record could fit in four minutes of music.
Detailed explanation-2: -For example, pop songs are typically between three and four minutes long, while rock songs can be anywhere from five to seven minutes long. Jazz songs can be around eight minutes long, and classical songs can be over ten minutes long. The average length of a pop song is three minutes and thirty seconds.
Detailed explanation-3: -First, there’s a historical reason behind why most hit songs are just three minutes long. In the early 1900s, music was mostly released on 10-inch records, which played at a speed of 78 rpm and could only hold three to five minutes of audio per side.
