The first track on Andre 3000's new album of flute music is called “I Swear, I Really Wanted to Make a ‘Rap’ Album but This Is Literally the Way the Wind Blew Me This Time,” and it just made Billboard chart history as the longest-ever song to reach the Hot 100. The New Blue Sun track, which clocks in at 12 minutes and 20 seconds, landed at No. 90 this week. That's almost 3 times the average three minute, 15 second runtime of 2023’s Top 10 hits (thus far). Tool, whose 10 minute and 21 second “Fear Inoculum” peaked at No. 93 back in August 2019, was the longest-hot 100-song record holder before Andre.
