Looking over the Hot 100, which I used to follow religiously decades ago, I notice a few trends that are quite different from the 80s and 90s

- Artists can have several tracks enter the chart in the same week, or only very few weeks apart. Chappell Roan now has 4-5 songs in there, and that's not super-unique. Billie Eilish has the first two "singles" from Hit Me Hard and Slow enter the chart simultaneously around 8 weeks ago: Lunch and Birds of a Feather. (All these songs come often on my Spotify.)

- Songs are consistently shorter than they used to be. Someone explained this with the shortened attention span of the "TikTok-generation", so beyond 3 minutes is "pushing it".

Responses:

He didn’t crack the top ten but Zach Bryan apparently will have 17 songs on this week’s chart. - Tim Jul 15, 19:09 1
- I'd say so. - Ore-o Jul 15, 19:33
