Well, for me it depends on several aspects.
First, the artist! If it's an artist whose music I love always (Hamasaki Ayumi & NEWS
) then I just pre-order the single. I listen to it the first time after it's delivered to my home. If it's an artist that I'm just a fan of or an unknown artist, then I will preview the single.
Second, the content! After previewing the single, if I like it, I'll go to the online shop and see what's included in the single. I'll look at the price, the number of songs, and the cover. The major factor for me though is if I like the any of the songs on the single. If I do, then I'll pre-order/purchase.
In addition, if there is a poster bonus, and I'm a fan of the artist, I'll buy the single. I love posters!
Lastly, collecting. This is self-explanatory.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ironically, I used to never buy singles. I always thought them to be a huge waste of money. However, nowadays, I buy more singles than I do albums. Ha ha!
