I love CD singles. Wish they still did more of them.

Posted by: Jester Mar 4 2016, 10:07 AM

The last cd single I bought was Robyn - With Every Heartbeat in 2007.

Posted by: Joe. Mar 4 2016, 10:08 AM

I think the last one I bought was The Saturdays - What Are You Waiting For? In 2014.

If Vinyl-singles count, I the last I bought was Years & Years' Shine.

I bought Fifth Harmony's Worth It when I was in Germany last year, I was shocked to find it.

Posted by: •Josh• Mar 4 2016, 10:10 AM

The last two I bought were Timber and Prayer In C both between 2014-2016. I quite like owning them but they are a bit expensive on Amazon and that. I was tempted to by On My Mind because I loved the artwork so much but it would have been a bit of a waste as I owned the album already.

I imported "Black Magic" from Amazon Germany

Posted by: gooddelta Mar 4 2016, 10:12 AM

I think my last one was Louisa Johnson in December. I buy CDs whenever I can though, and have bought loaaaaads of older CD singles recently.

Have purchased all the Take That cd single releases.

Posted by: Ultraviolence1989 Mar 4 2016, 03:02 PM

Used to love going to HMV and buying CD singles, not got any in ages though
Probably 2010/2011 I'd guess. I definitely have a couple from 2010! (Wear My Kiss and The Climb)

I looked for Take Me Home and Forever Young last year but couldn't find either Though of course I could find about 1,000 copies of Lay Me Down Chart Murderers Version

Posted by: Vülker Mar 4 2016, 03:26 PM

I bought Lisa Scott-Lee's 'Electric' today!

Posted by: vidcapper Mar 4 2016, 03:38 PM

I'm surprised to many people here have bought a CD single within the last couple of years - thought it'd be all about downloads/streams...

Posted by: burbe Mar 4 2016, 03:53 PM

Alexandra Burke - Hallelujah in the Woolworths closing down sale I think After that I'm pretty sure I was download only for singles.

Posted by: Dan_ Mar 4 2016, 04:01 PM

i got little mix's 'cannonball' on cd single in my xmas stocking the year they won but i won't count that as i didn't buy that myself

must be 2004-5 then! I mostly used apple iTunes downloads since iTunes was a thing and switched to Spotify in late 2012, so always been with the times!

Last one was “iLL Manors” by Plan B in 2012.

Posted by: fchd Mar 4 2016, 06:14 PM

I think my last one was "Wherever You Are" by the Military Wives Choir, so the very end of 2011.

Posted by: Brian Quinn Mar 4 2016, 06:21 PM

I only ever buy Physical singles and albums.

Posted by: -SCOTT- Mar 4 2016, 07:00 PM

Girls Aloud -Something New on release week

Posted by: Robbie Mar 4 2016, 09:17 PM

Technically it was 'The Journey Continues' by Mark Brown featuring Sarah Cracknell which I ordered / paid for from hmv.com in February 2008. However it never actually arrived (despite supposedly being dispatched 3 times!) so I got a refund.

The last one I managed to successfully buy was 'I Bet You Look Good On the Dancefloor' by the Arctic Monkeys in November 2005.

Posted by: River Lea Mar 4 2016, 10:14 PM

2014-2016.

Posted by: chart wizard Mar 4 2016, 10:24 PM

I bought both the Comic Relief and Children In Need singles from 2009 - Islands In The Stream and Peter Kay's Animated All Star Band (well if you count DVD sales too) just so I could claim that as mine, I have subsequently not listened to them since.

Posted by: lewistgreen Mar 4 2016, 10:26 PM

2007 I bought T2 - Heartbroken
I went radio mad in 2008 and then I've been with Spotify since 2009 for my music needs

Posted by: sammy01 Mar 4 2016, 10:33 PM

Melanie C ft Emma Bunton - I know him so well

Don't remember the year, think I got it out of pity really.

Posted by: RiseR Mar 7 2016, 10:29 PM

I bought the Band Aid 20 single so December 2014 for me!

Posted by: J▲hq Mar 7 2016, 10:40 PM

From a shop, I bought that "God Only Knows" thing (it was for charity ok!!1 )

More recently late last year I ordered "Wake Up" by The Vamps online (have two or three more of their singles in physical format along with "A Billion Girls" by Elyar Fox, so a handful in the past two years)

Posted by: MyKindOfLove Mar 8 2016, 01:50 PM

That "God Only Knows" cover for Children in Need about 18 months ago. Never played it, especially knowing three days later changed my life forever.

Before that, it was late 2010 "Broken Arrow" by Pixie Lott and "Prayin'" by Plan B which was actually given as a gift to a colleague!

Posted by: Colm Mar 8 2016, 02:08 PM

Bloc Party - Flux in 2007, I think.

Posted by: johnjo07 Mar 8 2016, 02:22 PM

I want to say it was Little Mix - Cannonball. But I think there was at least one more, far sooner.

I will check when I get home!

Posted by: Steve201 Mar 8 2016, 10:09 PM

Band Aid 30 last December!

Posted by: Col1967 Mar 9 2016, 06:24 PM

Think it was 'Right Now' by Atomic Kitten but I can't be certain. So that makes it either 1999 or 2000 looking at it's chart run. I was rapidly losing interest in chart music by that time and when I had a degree of interest again it was 2007 when downloads became fully incorporated into the chart. By this point it was downloads all the way for me and it never occurred to me to buy a CD single.

Band Aid 20

Posted by: dandy* Mar 10 2016, 02:16 PM

I bought both With Every Heartbeat and Handle Me by Robyn back in 2007 and I don't think I've bought one since then.

Posted by: Dobbo Mar 12 2016, 11:02 AM

Only 1 ever:

The Darkness - I Believe In A Thing Called Love (2003)
