Hey Jude[edit]
I just completely rewrote this article from scratch. Suggestions? I'm looking to nominating this for featured status after Something (song) and Yesterday (song). Johnleemk | Talk 15:45, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- Another great article. Just one point: The only other song to ever top the charts which ran over seven minutes was Richard Harris' "MacArthur Park". - I don't know about other countries, but as this is at the end of a paragraph on the UK chart, it's incorrect. Oasis' 1998 UK No. 1 "All Around the World" runs to 9 minutes 38 seconds. Angmering 16:43, 12 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- The paragraph seemed to be confusing UK and US charts (or covering both, but not differentiating them very well). I've reworked it a little. I left out the bit about Oasis as I didn't feel it was directly relevant to the article, but someone can always reinstate it if they feel it needs to go in. (Incidentally, another Oasis no1 "D'You Know What I Mean?" at 7 minutes 32 seconds is also longer than "Hey Jude", though shorter than "I'd Do Anything For Love".) Bonalaw 17:48, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)
- In response to a comment left in the article history, I've changed the wording again to avoid the phrase "single edit" regarding "I'd Do Anything For Love". What I was trying to get over was the fact that while the album version ran for over twelve minutes, that wasn't the same version released as a single. Hopefully my new wording has made that clearer.
