What do people mean when they say a pop/rock music star is a SINGLE's artist!
Question: If they are a singles artist, why do they have so many albums?
Answers: If they are a singles artist, why do they have so many albums?
It means an artist's individual singles are top sellers, but their albums don't really sell, as the non-single songs on them aren't as good.
singles is another term for there songs
Their popularity is based off of the "singles" they come out with.
It means that each album has 1 or 2 hit songs, but collectively the whole album isn't so great
Their albums are a collection of singles individually timed for release by their recording company. Most folks know them for their singles rather than anything longer or deeper.
a single a type of CD, I think with only like a few songs, like one song and different versions of it, that's why it's a "single". Albums have a larger collection of songs in them.
A "singles artist" is someone who has gained more popularity from the singles they have released than from the compilation of singles they have released as an album.
It means that an artist is primarily known from theie single releases rather than by the quality and effect of their albums. Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Yes, Led Zeppelin and Radiohead were not really interested in singles (hence the lack of them) and most of their songs weren't suitable for single release anyway. They were (are) 'album artists' rather than 'singles artists'. Does that help?
