So full albums are 8 songs and minis are 3 songs now

Quote from Lulu_Key

people drop money on those albums, its not just streaming

companies are watching this and thinking hey I can pay less for songs and still keep the same sale

Of course, some stans would spend their money even without songs lol.

Quote from Alex_Murphy

Not a problem, full albums can be only two songs!

That's a lot of bang for your buck. So much value!

EP is still 4

It's LP 8

EP 4

Single album 2

All this talk about song and album lengths got me triggered all over again. Some of the greatest songs ever recorded and most kids these days wouldnt have the patience to appreciate them because of today's streaming culture. Current songs are literal commercials and advertisements, not works of art anymore.

Just watch and listen and weep at what once was. Will we ever bear witness to such greatness again?

ETA: better live version of Jungleland.

OMG you have to EXPERIENCE the whole song, you cant just fast forward to the good parts. That is exactly what's wrong with all the young whippersnappers these days

Depends on the group.

All of the NCT-related albums have all had at least 10 songs if it’s an album: NCT 127, NCT Dream, WayV and NCT all-unit.

2 Baddies just had 12..

Quote from kidsgonestray

Stray Kids release mini-albums with eight tracks, repackage albums with eight new tracks (seventeen tracks total) and singles with four tracks...

By definition singles are 3 tracks or less.

But that is a western definition, it may change by country and by platform.

Quote from Lulu_Key

disagree

SHINee can give me all of it

also with other artists there is a better chance for me to like sth from them if they have more songs in the album

But not every group's full album is as good as Shinee. In general, their mini album is better. Each group has a different vision and strategy. Generally, 3 song of them come out well in mini albums. I don't mind if they add 3 of the best songs and make them mini.

Mix 3 songs in one and call it a day

I hated this trend and marketing gimmick too~.
