How long does it take for 'album only' songs to become available for individual purchase?

I know we've all had this problem. We already bought the actual album and then we find out that the digital version comes with extra. I have had this happen, but I do know that sometime later, if I go back, then the song is available for individual sale. Does anyone happen to know how long that takes, or if that's even supposed to happen.

Thank you all for having patience with this question. It's quite stupid, but I appreciate whatever input.

    It varies too much from one band/record company/publisher etc to another to try and figure out that specifically. You can bet that all decisions are predicated on control and money. For instance one of the Twilight movie soundtracks has a really cool song by Vampire Weekend called "Jonathan Low" and it is only available if you buy the whole lp. That is money and control at it's worst finest. The best you can do is keep checking from time to time.

    I never noticed that. Have you checked Amazon for it? I've never bought digital music from Amazon, but I have noticed that you can buy them as singles.

    They don't.
