So how does that break down?

Here's each score out of ten with its duration added up.

12/10: 4 seconds
11/10: 11 seconds
10/10: 126 seconds
9/10: 56 seconds
8/10: 49 seconds
7/10: 8 seconds
6/10: 19 seconds
5/10: 13 seconds
4/10: 0 seconds
3/10: 0 seconds
2/10: 4 seconds
1/10: 0 seconds
0/10: 0 seconds

As you can see OVER TWO MINUTES of this song is 10/10. That's pretty impressive.
