Bilbo is also correct regarding "Stay": it's the shortest single ever to reach the top of the American charts, at 1 minute 50 seconds.

Good work by the three of you! I declare Bilbo the winner.
So what was the DJ link? Just that they were short to ensure radio play?

Really fun question Shayne, thanks.
