Kid Cudi's "Beautiful Trip" track has broken a US chart record by becoming the shortest song ever to chart on the Billboard Hot 100.

A couple of weeks ago Kid Cudi completed his Man On The Moon album trilogy with Man On The Moon III: The Chosen.

While the album boasted collaborations with Phoebe Bridgers, Skepta, Pop Smoke and Trippie Redd, the album opener "Beautiful Trip" has now broken a US chart record.

The track placed at Number 100 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart this week, and it's also the shortest song ever to chart in the chart's 62-year history, with a 37-second running time.

According to Billboard, "Beautiful Trip" is eight seconds shorter than the previous record holder - the 45-second version of Piko-Taro's "PPAP (Pen-Pineapple-Apple-Pen)", which peaked at Number 77 on the Hot 100 chart back in 2016.

Kid Cudi's Man On The Moon III: The Chosen album is out now.
