They were superseded by disc <a href="/wiki/Phonograph_record" title="Phonograph record">phonograph records</a>, which initially also had a short duration of playing time per side. In the first two to three decades of the 20th century, almost all commercial music releases were, in effect, singles (the exceptions were usually for classical music pieces, where multiple physical storage media items were bundled together and sold as an album). Phonograph records were manufactured with a range of playback speeds (from 16 to 78 <a href="/wiki/Rpm" class="mw-redirect" title="Rpm">rpm</a>) and in several sizes (including 12 inches or 30 centimetres). By about 1910, however, the 10-inch (25 cm), 78-rpm <a href="/wiki/Shellac" title="Shellac">shellac</a> disc had become the most commonly used format. </p><p>The inherent technical limitations of the <a href="/wiki/Gramophone_disc" class="mw-redirect" title="Gramophone disc">gramophone disc</a> defined the standard format for commercial recordings in the early 20th century. The relatively crude <a href="/wiki/Disc_cutting_lathe" title="Disc cutting lathe">disc-cutting</a> techniques of the time and the thickness of the needles used on <a href="/wiki/Record_players" class="mw-redirect" title="Record players">record players</a> limited the number of grooves per inch that could be inscribed on the disc surface and a high rotation speed was necessary to achieve acceptable recording and playback fidelity. 78 rpm was chosen as the standard because of the introduction of the electrically powered <a href="/wiki/Synchronous_motor" title="Synchronous motor">synchronous turntable motor</a> in 1925, which ran at 3,600 rpm with a 46:1 gear ratio, resulting in a rotation speed of 78.3 rpm. </p><p>With these factors applied to the 10-inch format, songwriters and performers increasingly tailored their output to fit the new medium. The three-minute single remained the standard into the 1960s, when the availability of microgroove recording and improved mastering techniques enabled recording artists to increase the duration of their recorded songs. The breakthrough came with <a href="/wiki/Bob_Dylan" title="Bob Dylan">Bob Dylan</a>'s "<a href="/wiki/Like_a_Rolling_Stone" title="Like a Rolling Stone">Like a Rolling Stone</a>" in 1965: although <a href="/wiki/Columbia_Records" title="Columbia Records">Columbia Records</a> tried to make the record more "radio-friendly" by cutting the performance into halves and separating them between the two sides of the <a href="/wiki/Phonograph_record" title="Phonograph record">disc</a>, both Dylan and his fans demanded that the full six-minute <a href="/wiki/Take" title="Take">take</a> be placed on one side and that radio stations play the song in its entirety.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The next milestone, which cemented pop radio's tolerance for longer songs, was the Beatles <a href="/wiki/Hey_Jude" title="Hey Jude">Hey Jude</a>; released August 1968 it clocked in at over seven minutes, pushing the limits of the 45 rpm single. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Types_of_physical_singles">Types of physical singles</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Single_(music)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Types of physical singles"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Singles have been issued in various formats, including 7-inch (18 cm), 10-inch and <a href="/wiki/12-inch" class="mw-redirect" title="12-inch">12-inch</a> discs, usually playing at 45 rpm; 10-inch shellac discs, playing at 78 rpm; <a href="/wiki/Maxi_single" title="Maxi single">maxi singles</a>; 7-inch plastic <a href="/wiki/Flexi_disc" title="Flexi disc">flexi discs</a>; <a href="/wiki/Cassette_single" title="Cassette single">cassettes</a>; 8 or 12 cm (3.1 or 4.7 in) CD singles, and less commonly on <a href="/wiki/Digital_Compact_Cassette" title="Digital Compact Cassette">Digital Compact Cassette</a> and many non-standard sizes of vinyl disc (5 in or 13 cm, 8 in or 20 cm, etc.).

Over the 1990s and the early 2000s, the single generally received less and less attention in the United States as albums, which on compact disc had virtually identical production and distribution costs but could be sold at a higher price, became most retailers' primary method of selling music.

The decline of the physical single in the US during this time has been cited as a major marketing mistake on the part of record companies, as it eliminated an inexpensive recording format for young fans to become accustomed to purchasing music.
