André 3000 has surpassed Tool for the longest Hot 100 hit of all time. As Billboard reports, his track “I Swear, I Really Wanted To Make A ‘Rap’ Album But This Is Literally The Way The Wind Blew Me This Time” charted at #90 on the Hot 100 this week — it’s the first song on his new instrumental album New Blue Sun. It clocks in at 12 minutes and 20 seconds, longer than Tool’s “Fear Inoculum,” which is 10 minutes and 21 seconds and debuted at #93 back in 2019. André 3000’s track notched 5.8 million streams over the past week.
I definitely thought this was an onion article when I read that song title.
It feels 100% honest that’s for sure
The takeaway for me here is that Taylor Swift has a 10+ minute song.
That surprised me too
Mine is that Dire Straits’ Telegraph Road didn’t make the list.
Coincidentally, I don’t want to live on this planet anymore.

Is it also the longest title?
I didn’t realize either of them were still releasing music at this point. Pretty cool.
André just came out with an album I think. The tool song is from 2019
Last I listened to new music from either was early 00’s, lol.
You have your entire retirement already planned out then

This really reminds me a lot of the more experimental and instrumental music that Mac Miller started producing before he died. It is in that vein, so I can certainly understand why people don’t connect with it. I am really enjoying it though.

Tool’s Descending is longer and better.
They’re two completely different genres of music and Fear Inoculum is the worst TOOL album.
What’s the first comment have to do with anything? The article started the comparison.
It’s also apparently the longest song title ever on the Billboard 100
Who says there’s not enough musical innovation right now
