  SongwriterUniverse Magazine - All About Single Song Contracts
If a songwriter has written a song, and a publisher thinks it can be placed on an artist's album, or perhaps in a film or TV program, the two parties can sign a single song agreement.
Single song contracts for placement in film and TV are becoming increasingly common.
This is when a song has already become a hit (or is on a hit album), and the writer is in need of immediate funds.

  Single (music) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Most singles have only one A-side and are named after this song, but some may have a double A-side (a famous example being Strawberry Fields Forever/Penny Lane by the Beatles), where two tracks are given equal billing in the title of the single.
Singles often feature "radio edit" or "single edit" versions of the main song, which differ from the original recording in being edited to an attractive length for radio play, having expletives censored (often by re-recording with different lyrics), or both.
Singles have been issued on various formats, including 7-inch, 10-inch and 12-inch vinyl discs (usually playing at 45 rpm); 10-inch shellac discs (playing at 78 rpm); cassette, 3 and 5-inch CD singles and 7-inch plastic flexi discs.

 Abstract Dynamics: Single, Song, Mix, Welcome to the Curatorial Era
Generally however a song becomes a single via the strategic and skillful use of capital, the skill set that keeps record labels afloat in the peer to peer waters of the 21st.
The song is more or less a deliberate consumption, although there is a complex micropolitics and microeconomy of songs in which they can take on certain elements of a single within localized contexts.
For the purposes of the single versus song distinction then its important to note that a single must achieve a degree of broadcast over a relatively broad space with a decent amount of speed.

 Vogue (song) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The song was originally slated to be released as a B-side before becoming one of Madonna's biggest hits of the 1990s.
After presenting the song to Warner Brothers Executives, all parties involved decided that the song was too good to be "wasted" on a B-side and should be released as a single.
Aided by both a single version and an extended remix, as well as a fl and white video directed by David Fincher, the song shot to number one in every territory in which it was released.

 Music and the law ...(Single Song Agreement )
The Single Song Agreement (or what is sometimes referred to as a Separate Song Agreement) is a publishing agreement usually entered into between the songwriter and the publisher.
A concept or contractual term some songwriters have difficulty with and worth noting is that in a Single Song Agreement, the publisher acquires "ownership" in the copyright to the song.
The Single Song Agreement serves as written instrument making an effective transfer, which in turn permits the publisher to deposit another document with the U.S. Copyright Office.

 Musical Sell Out Hall of Fame, Single Song Division   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
JR notes: in my blog on corporate whores and musical sellouts, I attempt to document the tidal wave of corporate song whoring by musicians who may or may not need the money and may or may not have any integrity.
The song must be an all-time classic and the sponsor must either undermine or trivialize the spirit of the song in question (for example, Aerosmith's sale of "Dream On" to the "Miracle" soundtrack and movie made a lot of sense.
Obviously, what separates "song whoring" from acceptable song selling is very tricky territory, which is why we will be defining the nature of corporate song whoring in detail on our "definition of a song whore" page.

Apple classified the song as more of a punk style, but I would have to say the song was more of a mix between hard rock and punk.
The song is from their self-titled CD that was released in November (2005).
The song was not my type of music, but definitely sounded right on par with other soul songs I have listened to in the past.

 Metanet Forums -> Single Song Challange
Basically, I've listened to a song- sometimes once, sometimes one- and- a half times, but at absolute maximum twice, then build a tileset in N while listening to it.
Most of you won't have heard many of these songs, but even for those of you who have, it'll be hard to tell how the tileset was influenced by them- but it WAS, and that was the whole idea.
Granted, it was a 3 minute 46 second song, but it still took me a lot of listens to make the map.

 Song History
The single was first released in 2003 in Romania, where the group originated, and in the spring of 2004 in most other European countries.
Although O-Zone's version was the most popular across Europe, several other versions of the song have been made, most notably by the small Italian dance act Haiducii, who released the song in Europe at around about the same time and have been accused of taking it without permission.
The two versions of the song had distinct differences, and whilst Haiducii hit number one in Italy, O-Zone prevailed in Europe thanks mostly to a release in the United Kingdom.

 Amazon.com: Pyramid Song: Music: Radiohead   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The song is built upon a relatively simple (but certainly not common) repeating chord progression played on the piano, over which subtly eerie orchestral sounds echo, before Yorke's gentle vocals enter.
As a musician myself, this single, along with the albums 'Kid A' and 'Amnesiac' have been extremely encouraging, demonstrating that there is still a market for creativity and innovation in the music industry.
The Pyramid Song is probably one of the most accesible Amnesiac songs with the great piano line and spooky vocals.

 Channel 9: The Coffeehouse   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
The actual survey differs.

http://www.rochester.edu/napster/surveys/fall04.pdf

It says that on finding a song they like on Napster 47% would stream it direct, and 39% would download the andquot;tetheredandquot; version.

Its only if they decide to buy it that they seek another service or buy the CD.

Surely this sort of use is exactly what they are paying for.
They don't need to be buying any songs, because the school has already paid for them to listen to as much as they like from the service.
I won't be able to play songs andquot;purchasedandquot; from Napster on my Solaris box, for example.

 Thursday Rescues Old Song for Lead Single - Aversion.com
If the lead single, single, "5-4-3-2-1," for Thursday's upcoming album sounds polished, it's because the act's been trying to perfect the track for five years.
The song, which will appear on its upcoming A City by the Light Divided, due out May 2 from Island Def Jam, has been kicking around in the act’s songbook since its Victory Records days, front man Geoff Rickly revealed in a statement on the band’s site.
Although it was originally written during the era of Full Collapse (2001, Victory) (read Aversion’s review), it took five years for the band to find the right approach in the studio.

We Built This City is the single worst single ever constructed, according to Blender's ranking of reeking tunes.
The magazine's list of "The 50 Worst Songs Ever," which hits newsstands Tuesday in New York and Los Angeles and April 27 nationwide, distills the lamest popular rock-era records into one sonic landfill.
Also sealing the song's fate were Starship's steep fall from grace as the admired Jefferson Airplane and "the sheer dumbness of the lyrics," Marks says.

 Slashdot | Artists Protesting Single-Song Downloads
Single track downloads should be free for singles (with some compensation for the infrastructure costs -- joining a mail list, filling out a product form, watching a Pepsi Flash commercial, etc.) and you should be able to purchase albums-only as payable downloads in my opinion.
Her songs were not composed by her with a pad and paper and guitar in her bedroom, they were written by a hot songwriter, produced by a hot producer, music performed by experienced studio musicians, and sung by a hot recording artist / celebrity image.
This is plausible for no other reason other than if 99 cent electronic singles are a huge hit, as we have been trying to get them to do that for SIX YEARS now, then they would obviously pour all their resources into that, albums be damned.

Next month when I marry, I will request that they play this song at the reception and you will see some dancing because this song and its thought-provoking lyrics are just that powerful.
ON the surface, it's a bawdy tune, but the 'thong' refrain asks the listener if we just aren't also reacting to the hegemony of mainstream life and what are we going to do to stand up to the machinery that controls our lives.
