I couldn’t dig up similar records for Australia — although Spiderbait’s ‘Buy Me A Pony’ did take out #1 in the 1996 Hottest 100 clocking in at a paltry 101 seconds — but it’s surprising that both US and UK records have held for so long.
One obvious reason would be that during the late ’50s/early ’60s the 7 inch vinyl format used for singles had space limitations, therefore shaping the format of the three-minute pop single.
As pressing and compression techniques both became better during the ’60s, longer songs could fit on a single side of a 45 (the six-minute ‘Like A Rolling Stone’ pushed the limits of the format in 1965; the 7min 11sec ‘Hey Jude’ stretched it further in 1968) without compromising the audio quality too much.
Although three-to-four minute singles remain the norm even in 2018, we are yet to see a #1 single to sneak under the 90 second mark.
Until I am confronted with evidence to the contrary, I am going to declare these the long-standing records on either chart.

Most people know that the average American lives to an age between 75 and 80. Less well known, apparently, is that life expectancy rises with age. At age 60, an American man can expect to reach 82; a woman, 85.
Many people in their 60s start to notice that their minds aren't quite as sharp as before. It may take you longer to recall names and facts, recognize patterns, or solve problems. This mental decline only continues as you age. On the upside, your vocabulary, knowledge, and long-term memory likely will stay stable.
From the details they gave, the scientists were able to work out how much different habits and lifestyle factors affected their lifespan. Yates estimates that a 70-year-old man has a 54% chance of reaching the age of 90 if he does not smoke or have diabetes, has healthy weight and blood pressure, and exercises.
So we can observe that for men, for example, almost 54% of the them could expect to live to age 65 if they survived to age 21, and men who attained age 65 could expect to collect Social Security benefits for almost 13 years (and the numbers are even higher for women).
Most people begin to notice a shift in the appearance of their face around their 40's and 50's, with some also noticing a change in their 30's. But with these physical changes brought on by aging also comes a change in the appearance of our face - Luckily, there is treatment available.
Declines in walking speed and aerobic endurance became evident in the 60s and 70s. More physical activity was associated with less physical decline, especially in ages 60 to 79.
Well, this depends on a person's age, health, fitness level and lifestyle. Generally, the more years that pass, the more you'll value your beauty sleep, and its true senior fatigue is a real thing. However, most people start experiencing a decline in their energy levels by the time they reach their mid-thirties.
The lifespan did not differ between the fathers of centenarian and non‐centenarian daughters. Logistic regression models revealed that the odds of being a centenarian for the female and male offspring increased by 21% and 31%, respectively, for every additional 10 years of life achieved by the mother (p<0.05).
According to 2015 age-specific mortality rates, almost 60 percent of the 2015 birth cohort will live past 80, while more than 20 percent will die before 70.
