True people can buy singles and that is part of what is killing the record biz. their business model was built on selling albums, not singles. If they spend a ton of money recording an album, making videos and promoting an album then people only the buy the single the record company often never really makes its money back. I think people don't buy singles because they feel like the record company is giving them away free. You get it on the radio or the band's website or MTV for free, they think, "so why should I pay."
