The 10 longest PSB song (or track) titles
This ranking depends on definitions. I'm counting the number of individual characters in the titles, including subtitles, punctuation marks, and spaces. But counting characters alone results in several ties. In those cases, I resort to the following tie-breakers:
- If two songs have the same number of characters, the song with the larger number of words "wins."
- If two songs have the same number of characters and words, the one that appears longer in the font (Arial) in which they display on this website and on most computers wins.
If you count the titles of individual songs only, then the two songs in the medley at #1 would have to be counted separately, and #2 thus becomes the "winner." In this case, however, I'm counting the length of the title of the track. By that criterion, #1 is the clear winner.
Incidentally, remix subtitles don't count.
