I know what you're thinking; 4 seconds can't be that big of a deal, right? WRONG!

Every second counts when it comes to streaming, and artists/songwriters are taking notice. Songwriters are having to rethink their approach to writing songs that will be successful.

Not only are songs getting to the hooks quicker(in many cases they are opening up the song with the hook) but they are also making songs shorter.

Here's a really interesting video to explain it all.

Hi, I'm Cameron! I was born and raised in North Carolina. I'm a super tall redhead who is always down for tacos, enchiladas, and margaritas. Okay, so Mexican food is my personal favorite, but I’m not saying no if you’re trying to eat out on the town anywhere. I I am on air for middays but also the Program Director for Kiss 95.1. I enjoy connecting with Kiss 95.1’s amazing listeners and being able to bring all of my favorite things like food, wine, and life online into digital content.
