Vinyl singles consist of two or more tracks released on a traditional Gramophone record. The disc itself is reversible, with the main track on one side (the \"A-side\"), while the second track (the \"B-side\") would be played when the disc was flipped over. Some singles, such as The Beatles' \"Come Together\"/\"Something\", were released as double A-sides (or \"AA\"), where the two tracks were given an equal importance. Vinyl singles were originally sold in standard paper sleeves, but now often have their own printed card covers with special artwork and text.;

Compact Cassette singles - these are becoming obsolete and are now rarely released as commercial singles. As they are reversible they usually consist of one main track on the A-side, and one or more additional tracks on the B-side. The case or sleeve of a cassette single also usually includes printed artwork and tracklistings.;

CD singles usually consist of the A-side accompanied by one or more separate tracks. Extended single CDs or Maxi singles often also include several remixes of the main song, another completely different song, (the B-side) and sometimes a short music video. CD singles do have a defined ordering of tracks, so that even on a double A-side single, one track has to come first. Occasionally, a single will not be identical in name to the featured track—such as the Nine Inch Nails single, Closer to God. The case or sleeve of a CD single also usually includes printed artwork and tracklistings.;

Limited edition CD singles are sometimes released as a marketing ploy. These are usually on sale for a specified period of time only, or are produced in limited numbers and may include bonus tracks or specialist artwork designed to appeal to the specialist or the collectors market.;

Download singles consist of one track or song that can be obtained as a digital download from an online supplier. Several different versions or remixes of the same single release may be available, but each one has to be downloaded separately.;

Single releases are often made simultaneously in more than one format, as a single track download, and on CD or vinyl. Variations can include two different CDs, one with each track first (such as Muse's non-album single Dead Star/In Your World or In Your World/Dead Star), as two separate CDs with different B-sides and artwork, or as two CDs with one track each (such as Kent's single FF/VinterNoll2). Records with more than two A-sides are usually not considered singles, but EPs.

Although non-album singles are sometimes released, the lead tracks (and sometimes B-sides) of singles usually come from an album (either one already released or one about to be) and the release of the single is partly to promote sales of the album, and to ensure radio playlisting. CD 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.
