Summer Walker: "I got away with it as much as I could because I'd be fighting with my label about my three, four, five minute songs now that I have."

Really shocking and sad interview admission there from Summer Walker that she has to butt heads with her label, not just over the idea of writing 7-, 8-, 9-, 10-minute songs, but the idea that an artist as popular and as talented as Summer is getting flack for writing songs that are three or five minutes, that's insane. That's a completely normal song length.

However, addressing the elephant in the room, I'm sure a lot of you who are streaming music on a regular basis have probably noticed on a lot of popular charts on the billboard top 40, that it has become routine for artists to put out singles that are a minute or even 90 seconds long. Because these days, streams are counted based on whether or not you've logged the first 30 seconds of the track, I believe.

And it's funny because, sensibly, you would think maybe what should actually count is the amount of time that is spent listening to the song. Because everything has to be two minutes now to make sure that we're making as much money as possible.

And by we, I mean the labels, of course, because the artist payouts for these streaming services are getting worse and worse and worse.
