Singles?

I've been thinking about the industry and I think that it is inevitable that we will have more and more digital download. Judging from todays viewers/listeners, I think that instead of having a full length album, we should look back in the history. Release only singles and make that available for free or for a nominal amount of fees on the Internet.

Most viewers/listeners only buy a couple of songs per album, why not let us(musicians, producers) make that easier for the audience, eliminate the choices you(audience) get. (Kinda like how HD is evolving in Singapore, I didn't ask for it but it is being pushed into my life anyway....)

Isn't it better to have say, a few hundred thousands download of a few ( 1 - 3 songs) than to have a full length album which nobody listens to anyway....

We don't really need to make money from the songs anyway, we would potentially make more money from the advertisement sales from the the site than selling the single :/
or from selling the various merchandise (Tees, Caps, etc, etc)
