The top 40?

[Swafe]

Dont recall buying a single in the last 8 or so years

I see singles as a waste, 3.99 from HMV for a CD with 1 track on ? When for 4 quid more from play you can get the full album, with maybe another 10 good songs in it, plus its just not easy to listen to a single, you have to keep chopping and changing, with an album, bung it in, and your sorted for a good hours worth of audio entertainment

The last single i bought was...

no, havent bought one.
albums on the other hand...

I find that some singles are worth buying, either because the single isn't on any of the artist's albums, the single includes an interesting promo video or because the B-sides are rather good. To be honest, I haven't bought one in about two years though.

Ive never got over how the online stores can charge 99p for a low bitrate mp3. Its way over price. What do you think?

That's still value better than £4 for the ringtone though...

I've got a goodly collection of vinyl 7" & 12" singles, but prolly stopped in my early 20's.

Stopped in *the* early 20's, more like.

Ah 0iD me old mate, will the contant insult, retort, counter retort, counter-counter insult loop never end, between us?

Shall we call it a day, bury the hatchet in a sleeping dog, whilst letting him lie, let bygones be bygones, and watch the water flow under the bridge, that we built, whilst agreeing that time is a great healer, call it a day, have no more of it, shake hands, and call it quits?

I can't belive people pay so much, I mean, the Jamster people are REALLY annoying, but they've got the chavs right where they want them.

You've missed vinyl off

[megah0]

Ocean Colour Scene - The Circle acoustic version about 8-9 years ago

[Jonny M]

Haven't bought a single on CD for ages, all about vinyl now.

Last one I bought was earlier today, Mr. Scruff "Chicken In A Box"/"Spandex Man" 12" no., 429 of 500 on a limited pressing. Paid £8.99 for it from a local shop and don't regret it one bit.

[Trippledence]

Can you still buy vinyl singels, i thought you could only get LP's/

MP3? Who's selling chart music as MP3?

AAC-with-DRM or WMA-with-DRM. Even RealMedia-with-DRM or ATRAC3-with-DRM. But MP3? Nope.

[EvilMunky]

theres rarely anyhting in the top 40 i like

[Lee H]

I have only 1 single in my collection and laugh as you will I will tell you the name of it now ;

Tori Amos - Professional Widow.

Jest if you may but ignore the RUBBISH first track and play the Armand Van Helden remix instead. Its still a classic, even today and is a really great tune for livening up a party

[Grey M@a]

The amount of Metal CD's I have I am suprised that there aren't more metal bands in the top 40 album charts Last cd single I bought was Iron Maiden - Hallowed be thy name (first release not the re-issue. Showing my age now )
