45s

Seven-inch spinning discs

45s refers to vinyl records played at 45 revolutions per minute, the format that dominated pop singles from the 1950s through the 1980s.

Smaller than LPs, 45s typically held one song per side—an A-side hit and a B-side filler.

The term persists nostalgically: My dad still has boxes of 45s in the basement.

In card games, 45s is a trick-taking game popular in Ireland and parts of Canada.
