Mark, I can think of a fairly recent hit that does fade - Justin Bieber's "Intentions". In fact, I'm so used to the sudden stop that the first time I heard the song, it sounded jarring :) ... well, at least, surprising ... that it didn't end cold!
As far as the shorter songs these days, I think it was quite before "Old Town Road". I remember Bazzi's "Mine" was just barely over 2 minutes. In any case, there's been many short songs the past 2 or 3 years. I remember in the '80s, it seemed the average length was probably 5 minutes. (Or at least, that length was quite common). Now, I'd bet the average is about 2:50 ... or maybe a bit longer. |
