With voting now officially closed on this year’s edition of “the world’s biggest music democracy,” we take a look back at the poll’s long and illustrious history we turn to a focus on the epic tracks and lengthy tunes that managed to ensnare enough votes to chart in the Hottest 100.
Having focused on the ‘don’t bore us, get to the chorus’ shorter side of the spectrum, with the Hottest 100’s Shortest Songs Ever, we now take a little more time to focus on the stretched wig-outs and extended tracks that have capped up to, and even beyond, the nine-minute mark.
Spanning from obvious suspected dance floor fillers to thrashing metal head-banging and hip/hop beats, readers may be in for quite the shock at what tops the Australia’s most beloved annual countdown as the longest charting song ever. Any guesses?
