I believe that when 45rpm records were launched after WW2, they were marketed as an album, to be played as a stack on an autochanger record player. That ended up less popular than 33rpm LPs, and 45s ended up playing a different but important role in popular music. There's an interesting video on 'Techmoan's Youtoube channel' (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbFgVjijrHI&t=1s).
