I think two separate threads would be good. I picked 2005 because that's when CD singles really started dropping off. Whatever you decide is fine with me.]]> Mon, 24 Sep 2012 13:01:58 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7076&PID=35490&title=carly-rae-jepsen-call-me-maybe#35490 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7076&PID=35487&title=carly-rae-jepsen-call-me-maybe#35487 Author: Brian W.

I think that's a good idea. There there were still lots in 2000, so the list for that year is going to be quite large.

I'm going to make one more trip to Walmart today (I didn't really have a chance to go through that bin at the Duarte store) to see if I can find "Truck Yeah" and "Boyfriend," and then start the thread tonight, "CD Singles Since 2000," or maybe "CD Singles in the 21st Century," ha ha. Though those are available still on their website.

After not finding any of these singles on the shelves at the Duarte Walmart, I went to the 24-hour Glendora Walmart at about 9:30 p.m., dug through that bin for about 45 minutes, and came out with most of what I wanted, except for the Taylor Swift. Which was irritating, because the store inventory said they had 12 copies in stock, and no one knew where they were. The very helpful employees (really, that's not sarcasm) looked everywhere, including the stock room, and found nothing. So I returned to the Duarte Walmart on my way back home. I hadn't known the singles would be in the $5 bin when I'd been there earlier. (The employees at that particular Walmart don't know a damn thing, not to mention that half of them look like they just got out of a halfway house.) Well, guess what was sitting right on top of the bin -- a Taylor Swift "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together." So I got that and the Phillip Phillips EP.

Brian, glad you were able to find them all! Luckily, all of my local Wal-Mart stores are pretty good about putting the new singles on the end-cap display. Although, I sometimes do have to hunt a little harder for them:) Looking forward to the new thread and I hope to help keep it updated as best I can.
