Examples of this include the following 10 songs: " Vicarious" (2006) by Tool at 7 minutes and 6 seconds, " Hey Jude" (1968) by The Beatles at 7 minutes and 11 seconds long, " You're the Voice" (1986) by John Farnham at 5 minutes and 4 seconds long, " Stairway to Heaven" (1971) by Led Zeppelin at 8 minutes and 3 seconds, " One" (1989) by Metallica at 7 minutes and 24 seconds (despite having a fade out in the radio edit version), " American Pie" (1971) by Don McLean with a length of 8 minutes and 32 seconds, " Georgia Dome" (2004) by Ying Yang Twins (which actually has a radio edit but only removing profanity and not shortening it) at 6 minutes and 6 seconds, " Like a Rolling Stone" (1965) by Bob Dylan at 6 minutes & 13 seconds, " Someone Saved My Life Tonight" (1975) by Elton John at 6 minutes & 45 seconds, and " Again" (2015) by Fetty Wap at 5 minutes and 13 seconds. Some long songs do not have a radio edit, despite being as long as 5, 6, 7, or 8 minutes in length, presumably due to listener demand from radio stations. Many of the 7" mixes aimed for pop radio airplay of their songs feature very different arrangements, such as " Bizarre Love Triangle", or even a completely different recording, such as " Temptation". This also became more prevalent with the rise of the 12" record, as artists like New Order started making songs specifically for the format. Likewise, an attempt at a radio edit for Arlo Guthrie's 18-minute epic " Alice's Restaurant" scrapped the entire monologue that served as the main base of the song's popularity and instead was a 4-minute, three-verse rock and roll song. Another example is Miley Cyrus's " Adore You", whose original album version is a slow, quiet version clocking in at 4 minutes 37 seconds the radio edit is a completely different version which is a remix done by Cedric Gervais running at 3 minutes 36 seconds. A popular example of this is " Revolution" by The Beatles which is a completely different recording from the version which appears on The White Album. Some songs will be remixed heavily and feature different arrangements than the original longer versions, occasionally even being completely different recordings. Another example would be Juvenile's " Back That Thang Up" where Lil' Wayne's outro is faded out in the "wobble de wop" part. Also, the third chorus of the song is shortened.Īnother example for this case is Justin Timberlake's " Mirrors", where the radio edit cuts the entire "You are the love of my life" part. A third example would be the song, " The Man" by Aloe Blacc, in which the radio edit skips the "I'm the man/Go ahead & tell everybody/What I'm saying ya all" part and the first ten seconds. The second half of the first chorus is sometimes skipped, along with the last 24 seconds which is the normal fadeout part in which B.o.B says, "Yeah, and that's just how we do it/And I'ma let this ride/B.o.B and Bruno Mars", and the radio edit ends with the fourth and last chorus with an earlier fade-out. Another example is B.o.B's song, " Nothin' On You" featuring Bruno Mars, whose radio edit skips the first five seconds and starts with the sixth second in which Bruno Mars starts singing the first chorus. However, if necessary, many radio edits will also edit out verses, choruses, bridges, or interludes in between.Īn example is the radio edit of "Heroes" by David Bowie, which fades in shortly before the beginning of the third verse and fades out shortly before the vocal vamping at the end of the song. It is also frequent that a chorus is repeated less often towards the end. In the outro, occasionally, the song will simply fade out earlier, common on tracks with long instrumental endings, or, if it doesn't fade out, a part before the ending will be cut out or in some cases, a fade out was added in the radio edit. In the intro, any kind of musical buildup is removed, or, if there is no such build-up, an extensive intro is often halved. It is common for radio edits to have shortened intros and/or outros. The amount of cut content differs however, ranging from a few seconds to effectively half of a song being cut. The normal length for songs played on the radio is between 3 and 5 minutes. Radio edits often shorten a long song in order to make it more commercially viable for radio stations.
