POPULARITY
It's a question artists have been racking their brains over for years: how long is the perfect pop song? The rise of streaming platforms meant that for a while, the answer was to keep it short and snappy, so listeners would be less likely to hit the skip button. After the launch of TikTok, pop songs shrank even more, with the average song in the charts lasting only three minutes and twelve seconds. But BBC News analysis shows that song lengths are creeping back up, with some of the biggest hits in the last few years - like Chappell Roan's Pink Pony Club - crossing over the four minute line. So, how has TikTok affected how artists make music? And are we about to see pop songs get even longer - despite the popularity of the platform?BBC music correspondent Mark Savage explains why the length of pop songs has changed over the years - and what royalties have to do with it. And we hear from TikTok musicians Queen Ife and Fiona Kida, who tell us how the platform has changed how they create and share their music.Instagram: @bbcwhatintheworld Email: whatintheworld@bbc.co.uk WhatsApp: +44 330 12 33 22 6 Presenter: Hannah Gelbart Producers: William Lee Adams and Chelsea Coates Video Journalist: Baldeep Chahal Editor: Julia Ross-Roy
Coach Savage has been on the sidelines for decades, but he is proof that new ideas aren't so new. He emphasizes having positive relationships with players and building up his players with different motivational resources outside of the game of basketball.

Ed Sheeran's long-running copyright battle over his hit Thinking Out Loud is finally over. That's after the US Supreme Court rejected an appeal to revive the copyright trial. It all started back in 2016 when Sheeran and his co-writer Amy Wadge were sued for allegedly copying Marvin Gaye's 1973 classic Let's Get It On. Sheeran, whose subsequent hits include Azizam and Shape of You, ended up winning that case, with the judge saying that lots of songs share similar elements and that Gaye's chord progressions couldn't be copyrighted. But the family of Ed Townsend, who co-wrote the song with Gaye, appealed the case, and it dragged on for nearly ten years.BBC music correspondent Mark Savage breaks down the case and gives a quick rundown of how copyright law works in music. He also discusses other famous plagiarism allegations and the rules around sampling music to create new songs.

No marriage is perfect. But every marriage can get better. Do you feel like the spark is gone? Has a critical spirit invaded your marriage? Do you want more intimacy, but something is in the way? You could be suffering from the Perfection Infection. The Perfection Infection happens when we cultivate unrealistic expectations of ourselves and our spouse, gradually leading to intimacy-killing behavior, also known as the "Seven Slow Fades." That was the case for Jill and Mark Savage, and it eventually led to infidelity. In her book No More Perfect Marriages and in today's episode, Jill speaks honestly about their struggles, how they came back from betrayal, and the principles that keep their marriage strong today. She guides us in everything we need to know to kick the Perfection Infection right out and return to intimacy. On today's show, we discuss: How the Perfection Infection invades a marriage--even a good marriage How to detect and correct the Seven Slow Fades How to set and communicate realistic expectations What to do if your spouse won't change How to guard your marriage from the Perfection Infection for good Join us in realizing that hurting marriages can heal and good marriages can become great.

For this in-person podcast at Bo's Kitchen, I'm joined by my former co-worker, Al Bonilla, and a former contractor, Mark Savage, who worked with Al on me on a very large two-year project. The main purpose of this podcast (other than having lunch with friends) was to test using a NAKVMN USB-C Desktop Conference Microphone to record an in-person three-person podcast since my wireless lav mics are limited to recording two people. The conference mic was plugged directly into an iPhone 15 Pro Max using the Just Press Record app. I used Adobe Podcast Enhance set at 27% enhancement to clean up the sound a bit while leaving some of the background restaurant ambient noise. The enhanced audio was run through Audacity to increase the volume - since Adobe Podcast Enhance reduces the volume while cleaning up the audio. In this podcast, we discuss: Mark Savage travel tech Todd's top 2024 gadgets: Insta360 X4 camera, Surface Pro 11 Copilot + PC (despite compatibility issues), M4 iPad Pro 11, USB-C docks with status displays and vertical orientation AR glasses to replace computer display Rayban Meta Smartglasses that Steve Hughes used in podcast 522 EVs & PVs

It's our annual look at the contenders for the song of the summer.There's no formula for writing a song of the summer, the same way that you can't guarantee a Christmas classic, but there are some ground rules that seem to apply for most of the songs in contention every year.As noted by Mark Savage's The secrets of a hit summer song piece, some key things a song has to be simple (like Whigfield's 'Saturday Night'), It should make you feel like you're on holiday ('Pon De Replay' / 'Club Tropicana'), novelty is good, whether that means meme-friendly, silly ('Macarena') or a novel mix of styles (like Old Town Road's mix of country and rap) but most importantly it should be released before the summer, ideally mid April - early May latest.We added a few more rules of our own - including mentions of food and drink are good, controversy can be helpful, titillation can work, melancholy, anticipation and the song's unquantifiable repeatable vibe that doesn't grate over months of listening via rooftops, out of cars, festivals, clubs and pubs. A catchy lyric is essential - are you ready to match our freak?But really the song of the summer is a nebulous accolade, and ultimately decided by too many factors to identity.This year's main contenders include Kabin Crew's 'The Spark', Sabrina Carpenter's 'Espresso', Tommy Richman's 'Million Dollar Baby', Chappell Roan's 'Good Luck Babe', Charli XCX's '360', Kendrick's 'Not Like Us' and songs from Tik-Tok memes, Billie Eilish, Jamie xx, Tinashe, Hozier, Shaboozey and more.We take them at their word and consider each for the ultimate summer medal - the song of the summer 2024.

The 'wheelbarrow story' isn't just a narrative; it's a call to action, a challenge to step into the unknown with faith as your compass. We examined the delicate dance of following God's will, the comfort found in fellowship, and the transformative power of love through life's seasons, reminding you that embracing your faith can lead to profound relationships and renewal. As we wrapped up, inspirational films like "The Shift" and "Unsung Hero" were highlighted, serving not just as entertainment but as fuel for the soul, celebrating the resilience of faith amid adversity.
