If you're making Classical music - it often needs to be an album. Soundtracks warrant albums. But mainly it's a record label excuse to grab money from stupid punters who fork out for below average tracks and one or two hit singles. Only make singles (good or bad, short or long, hits or misses). If you then release a COLLECTION, fine. So how do you "run with the momentum" when your single is a hit?

Which brings into question the whole making albums vs making singles thing. If you've gone the traditional route, having a hit single is great as your album is either already available or coming very soon, together with the tour & promotional work. If you're making and releasing singles you've got nothing to back it up.
