What is a "single"?

A single is a music release that only has one main song, sometimes with additional tracks or remixes included. Unlike an album, which contains multiple songs, a single focuses on promoting one standout track. Singles are often released to generate interest in an upcoming album or to highlight a particular song for radio play and chart performance. They are available in various formats, such as digital downloads, CDs, or vinyl records.
