Singles

Answer:

ONES

Hint:

Think of the smallest whole numbers or the face value on a single dollar bill.

Explanation:

"Singles" here is a clever double-meaning clue. In music, "singles" refers to individual songs released separately from an album, but it also means the number one—as in "ones" when pluralized. The answer plays on the word’s dual definition, swapping the musical term for its numerical counterpart.
