Singles In Greece and Cyprus, singles were typically released solely as radio singles instead of physical copies. CD Maxis or EPs are rarely issued, and when they are, they generally feature up to seven new tracks or remixes of various songs. This format ensures they meet the criteria for single charts by including up to seven different songs.
