I think some people have this thing where just because you do singles that means you're not a real artist. It's like hold on a minute - I'm selling millions of records here and been streamed billions of times... How can I not be taken as a real artist just because these songs are singles?

Jonas Blue

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

Cameron Crowe

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

Christopher Bollen

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'm not an artist that makes singles, I'm an artist that makes albums, and it's a totally different thing.

Raekwon

Nirvana's amazing, but they're just never going to find another one, there's no artist development anymore, you're never going to have a U2, you're never going to have a Bruce Springsteen, those guys didn't make it off of their first single and real artists probably won't make it off of their first singles.

Richard Patrick

I never considered myself an artist. I aspire to be an artist, but I never thought I had the depth or substance or gift to be an artist. I do think I have some talent, but it doesn't go as far as being an artist.

Woody Allen

I just really feel so grateful to Sundance because I've always been an artist and I've never been able to make a living at being an artist until Sundance.

Lynn Shelton

With streaming, everything is focused on singles. That means an artist's depth doesn't have the chance to shine through.

Joe Hisaishi

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

Mel Tillis

I would say that all the singles that I have put out are collectively just a small piece of the artist that Thomas Rhett wants to be.

Thomas Rhett

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

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

I wanna be the most successful socially aware artist: Grammys, number one singles, albums, overseas and internationally-known household name, all that.
