From Band Issue 1,000 30-Second Songs to Trick Spotify Royalty Payout: "... a rock band called The Pocket Gods have decided to release a 1,000 track album with each of the songs clocking in at around 30 seconds.

Here's me proving simple math is simple!
1000 songs x 30 seconds each = 30000 seconds (the number of seconds being released)
30000 seconds of music divided by 60 seconds = 500 minutes (the number of minutes being released)
500 minutes divided by 60 minutes = 8.333333333333333 (the number of hours being released) =
