A recording is ineligible for the UK singles chart if it's longer than
40 minutes.There are many more arcane rules and variations that determine
eligibility (the 40 minute figure applies only to releases containing only
one song, or versions of only one song - if more than one song is included,
the limit goes down to 25 minutes, for instance), but I don't think you
really want to know them. :)
