The longest recorded song is "Longplayer" by Jem Finer, a musician with the band The Pogues.

Longplayer is an automated composition that began playing on January 1, 2000, and is designed to continue indefinitely, with the music evolving over time. The song's length is not fixed, and it is expected to continue playing for at least 639 years. Finer programmed the piece using algorithms that allow it to adapt and change over time, creating a unique sound each day. The song is now considered a musical curiosity and a work of avant-garde art.
