A Quote by Judith Martin

There was no singles problem until singles got so single-minded that they stopped wasting time with anyone ineligible. Before that, it was understood that one of society's main tasks was matchmaking. People with lifelong friendships and ties to local nonprofessional organizations did not have to fear that isolation would accompany retirement, old age, or losing a spouse. Overburdened householders could count on the assistance not only of their own extended families, but of the American tradition of neighborliness.

Now we're in an age of singles. It's actually always been more about singles for most of music history.

Christopher Bollen

I really consider myself fortunate to have been of age during the musical revolution that came in the form of the Beatles. People don't realize that previous to the Beatles, there really was no such thing as an album artist. People made singles. Then they would put a bunch of those singles together and call it an album. And that was it.

Todd Rundgren

I grew up in the day when the Beatles sold 1 million singles in a week. And all you've got to do now is sell about 10,000 singles and you're in the charts.

Phil Collins

I grew up in the day when the Beatles sold 1 million singles in a week. And all you’ve got to do now is sell about 10,000 singles and you’re in the charts.

Phil Collins

When I first saw the trailer of 'Only For Singles,' the only thought in my head was that we live in ever evolving times but the problems for singles remain the same.

Javed Jaffrey

I don't believe in singles. The singles market has changed. I am trying to get back to the old days of releasing albums at will, like Star Wars coming out again.

Prince

It's a total big difference between a person that got lyrics and a person that can make hit singles. I'm a person that can make some hit singles. I'm not in no booth trying to be a lyrical genius. I'm preparing to make me some singles, and as I develop as a man, then they'll respect my emcee skills.

Waka Flocka Flame

Going from The Shield to singles competition, it wasn't a really big transition for me. Before we were The Shield, we were all singles wrestlers. And we were wrestling a bunch of guys all the time down in developmental.

Roman Reigns

Well, you know, back then there wasn't many albums, it was the singles. You sold singles.

Mel Tillis

I have my problems with 'Singles'. To me, 'Singles' is the least successful of the movies I've been lucky enough to make.

Cameron Crowe

I don't determine the singles. I believe the record company sends a bunch of CDs out to people that they trust in the business, and wait for their response to determine which songs will become singles.

Flora Purim

I'm releasing a single. It's called 'Live it Up.' It was based on my Euro trip. I only write my own music. I don't let other people write it at all. So I've been working on that a lot. There's three singles coming out. The producer of The Fray who did their double-platinum album 'How to Save a Life,' I'm working with him. He's producing me.

Alexander Ludwig

Centralized sounds good ... but the reality is that the National Guard and Army don't have the kind of ties with local organizations that ultimately deliver lots of service, your nonprofits, churches, humanitarian organizations. Those types of linkages get built up over time, in local communities.

Peter May

I'm thrilled we've got a new single out, as singles were the way I first got into music as a child.

Ed O'Brien

I always had problems with making singles because I'm not a singles type of guy. I never needed radio to blow me up. I'm a street legend.

Boosie

I bought singles until I started working properly and then I started buying albums, so this brings back a lot of teenage memories from being in London before I got work

Billy Ocean
