All Hung Up

Aloha Friday!

I am all hung up! I got a CD about 4 months ago and never really listened to it. I bought it for 1 song and hoping that I would like all the others but never really got into listing to it.

While on vacation I heard a new song a couple times on different radio stations. I just fell in love with this song. The funny thing was the first few times I heard it I didn't know who the song artist was. This was driving me crazy!

Then I figured it out and I got all excited because guess what, I have the song on CD. I own the CD with this great song.

Oh would you like to know who the mystery song and artist is?
The song is "Whatever It Is"from the Zac Brown Band
Most of you probably know them for their catchy song
Chicken Fried
.


Needless to say I am now wearing the heck out the entire CD and loving it.

So I want to know:
A: Do you buy a CD just for 1 song? Do you listen to all of it or focus just on that song?

B: What band, group or artist are you currently hung up on?



If you are curious here is a YouTube video of the song I am raving about. It is such a beautiful song and I find so many of the songs inspiring and they put me in a really good mood.

i can't pick just one band or artist that i'm hung up on! i'm just hung up on MUSIC period! lol

i don't buy CDs though. i use itunes so i can get either the whole album or just one or two songs. then i make my own mixed CDs for the car and for friends.

I used to buy CD's for just one song...but now, I just download the song I like!

Caitlin said...

I used to buy cds for one song all the time! I would hear a song on the radio that I liked, and then go buy the album. Sometimes the band would end up being a one-hit-wonder, and I could see why! :)
how funny that the song ended up on the cd that you already had! That worked out well!

I don't really buy cds anymore- I mostly just listen to music on the computer or the radio. I miss cds!

Jennifer said...

If I like a song I buy it on iTunes.
I do not have a favourite musical group/band.

Kari said...

I used to buy a CD just for one or two songs. But, since I got an ipod, I really don't buy that many CDs at all.

I'm currently totally obsessed with these two songs:

Rock & Roll (by Eric Hutchinson)
Fire Burning (by Sean Kingston)

Love, love, love them both. That's actually what I'm listening to right now as I'm visiting the Aloha Fridays.

No, I just download the one song from iTunes. That's why I love iTunes!

Tara said...

Yes, normally I buy a CD for one song lol and Listen to it until I can't take it anymore.

Jeremy said...

Not anymore, we buy good songs one at a time. I have been very impressed with Taylor Swift songs. She's very talented. I listen to a wide range of music.

East Coast Wahine said...

I try not to but have bought an entire CD just for one song. I like many different artists of Hawaiian music.

Dee said...

No, if i like just one song, I buy it online-well hubby does!

blueviolet said...

I don't buy CD's anymore because I use iTunes but when I was buying CD's, I definitely bought them for one song but always listened to the whole thing.

I have to admit that I have not bought a CD in forever. I usually just buy the MP3 of a song that I like if I do not want to buy the entire group of songs. No real band/singer that I am stuck on now. Lots of different favorites, plus tons of kids music playing here.

AudreyO said...

I just download the one song from iTunes and then upload to my iPod. I've done that many times.

I don't really have a favorite band right now.

Sweet Serendipity said...

I don't usually buy cd's anymore either, but use itunes. Although I did pick up the new DMB cd for the hubster for Father's Day. Only because we stopped in Starbucks and it was there at the register. He's always been a big DMB fan and so I snagged it on an impulse. I have to say, I love the CD. All of it is great. Reminds me of old DMB from "back in the day" lol.

Drahdrah said...

In the past, I have definitely bought a CD for ONE song. I don't do that anymore now that you can download any song you want individually. I love Rihanna right now.

LuvnLife00 said...

I used to. Now we get them one at a time from iTunes

Anissa said...

A: Do you buy a CD just for 1 song? Do you listen to all of it or focus just on that song? No!

B: What band, group or artist are you currently hung up on? I don't really get hung up one group. I mainly just get hung up on a song.

Princess Andy said...

there's never only one song...it kind of depends on my mood.

definitely hard rock for those days you need to get out frustration!

I haven't bought a cd in a long time. I do collect U2 cds but that's about it. I mostly get my tunes online. Especially blip.fm or pandora.com.

Jenni Jiggety said...

I can't remember the last CD I bought! I usually just download songs!

Becca said...

I often buy cds for just one song, and then hope I like the rest of the CD. Two bands that I have done this with and been really happy are The Plain White Ts and Kate Voegele.

Brea's Mommy said...

I usually don't buy cds I just listen to the radio

diana said...

yes, i have bought a cd for just one song. but i listen to the whole cd hoping that i will like more than just the one song =)

i'm liking the fray right now and looking forward to switchfoot's new album.

Heatherlyn said...

We by all our music online. I will buy a CD on occasion if I like many of the songs on the CD. I don't have a current song obsession but I really like it when the more recent Nickleback songs come on the radio.

~*~ Melissa ~*~ said...

I have bought a CD just for one song before. Usually I end up liking others too though.

Kris said...

I love that song too!! I usually buy it for just one song too though...but I'll preview the whole CD when I buy it by flipping through all the songs.

Vicki said...

I always buy a CD for one song and most of the time end up loving all the others too!

kailani said...

No I wouldn't. Thankfully, with iTunes I don't have to buy the whole album for one song! :-)

Heart of Rachel said...

Yes, sometimes I buy a CD because of a particular song but nowadays I just download the song I like. I like a variety of artists.

Maggie said...

I bought Beyonce's CD a few months back, for two songs. I figured I would really like the others too, since I have always liked her music. But, I haven't been able to listen to the rest of it. I just don't like them for some reason. I think next time I'll just buy the two I like off iTunes for my iPod and not waste 15 bucks on the whole CD. LOL
