Last CD single has got to be "God Only Knows" which is a charity single for Children in Need back in 2014. Tesco thankfully stocked it. Non-charity it's got to be "Broken Arrow" by Pixie Lott.
Last Cassette single, I think was "Shut Up!" by Kelly Osbourne and that's going back to 2002/3!! |

After not buying any for years I’ve purchased a CD single recently - I’ve bought quite a few 7” and 12” vinyl too.
Dermot Kennedy - Giants CD |

I've not been in a HMV for a while but you would think with the vinyl revival there would be a big market for vinyl singles now and HMV could have a decent stock of them. I'd pay £9.99 for a few select singles from artists I love. Artists could re-release big singles too on 7 inch vinyl to be stocked, Spice Girls Wannabe, Adele Someone like you and so forth. I think they would get some nice casual purchases.

Not Giving Up by The Saturdays. I think it was signed, pretty sure they did signed CD singles for every release.

The first time i bought CD singles was 1994 which was the first year you
couldn't get everything on 7" I think the last CD singles i bought were early 2010 Timbaland/Katy Perry - If We Ever Meet Again Lady Gaga - Bad Romance Back then there was only a very small section in HMV they were phased at the end of the 00s |

I only really bought the singles if I didn't think I was likely to buy the album they were on.
Last CD single was "I Am" by 3rd Wish in 2005 which never made the Top 40. They disappeared off the face of the earth after that and I don't think there was ever an album. Last cassette single I think was "Salva Mea" by Faithless. I no longer have my cassettes and did end up buying the Faithless album. |

If we're talking recently then it's Calvin Harris & Sam Smith - Desire. Before downloads and streaming took over the last CD single I purchased was T2 - Heartbroken at the end of 2007 (one I still wish I owned because the streaming re-record doesn't hit the same).

I haven’t brought one since the heyday so probably Band Aid 30 or ‘December Song’ by George Michael. I also buy a classic Christmas single if I see them on vinyl in car boot sales etc!

QUOTE(Steve201 @ Jun 30 2020, 08:25 PM) I think the last one was George Michael December Song which was in special PostCard form. I also purchased some Xmas cd singles like the Justice Collective and Band Aid 30 around 2014! We have an echo nearly 4 years later  (not sure why this thread was randomly bumped today x)

Well this thread is a blast from the past.
Since I started it I’ve bought a grand total of one single on CD… and this was of course Kylie’s Padam Padam last year!

I bought Billies What was I Made For? On cassette the week it was pushing for UK #1 I think? Before that though I honestly can’t think! The price tag for that one really pushed me to do it and the fact I really wanted it to snatch that #1.
