How do album singles work and why are those the only ones that get played on the radio?

Not quite…
Singles in pop music started going out of fashion around 1965.
Some artists had only one “good” song. But, there were other artists creating entire albums of great music that fit together.
For example, Sgt. Pepper… there is no “best” song. To truly enjoy the songs on Sgt Pepper, you have to listen to the entire album. Same with Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys.
Music wasn’t as available then as it is now, so the only way to know if an artist had “more to say” was to buy the album.
