I never buy singles anyway , once ive bought an album i cant see the point of buying singles just to double up on what ive already got .I'd rather put that money to buying another album.

I don't buy singles haven't since the days of 45's reason I prefer to buy the album (cd)) they are on. No real music stores left in this area. Harmony House bit the dust and Sam Goodys is long gone. Heck the closest Ticket Master is at the mall at Kohl's. They used to be everywhere.

so then, i guess this shows that even alot of the real fans do not buy every single single release at all then, and even the ones that do, do so selectivley due to there being some decent bonus material.

Which begs to differ, who actually bought the WSYCGH single? If it reached, what, no5 (?) here in the UK and not alot of Bon Jovi fans bought it, then what does that say. As i said in the 1st post i dont think singles are a clear indication anymore of a bands popularity - albums are what its all about. And 100+million says alot about an artists.
