medium · LSAT Logical Reasoning

An analysis of 50 top-selling albums found that those with shorter average song lengths were more likely to be streamed repeatedly. The record label concluded that shorter songs are better suited to the attention spans of modern listeners.

Which one of the following, if true, most weakens the record label's conclusion?

  1. Albums built from shorter songs tend to pack in far more tracks, multiplying the chances a listener finds something to replay.
  2. Modern listeners increasingly stream music on mobile devices while commuting, exercising, or working at a desk throughout the day.
  3. Several of the longest songs on these albums drew the highest praise from professional critics writing for major music publications.
  4. Streaming services pay recording artists a flat rate per individual stream, no matter how long or how short the track happens to run.
  5. Shorter songs are intrinsically incapable of holding any listener's interest, sustaining attention, or rewarding even a single replay.
