Mick Jagger says composing music for shortened attention spans isn't new: 'Elvis made a 2-minute no 1 hit in the 50s'

Mick Jagger says composing music for shortened attention spans isn't new, citing Elvis Presley's sub-2-minute number one hit from the 1950s.

He notes the three-minute pop song originated from the length of gramophone records, and modern songs remain similar in length.

Jagger states The Rolling Stones face no external pressure to create music for social media platforms like TikTok or Instagram Reels.

He observes that consumption patterns are dictated by technology efficiency, with most people, including himself, consuming music online flippantly.

Jagger describes himself as a big consumer of pop music, often listening to recent hits playlists without knowing the artists.
