People's first music single

As stated in the subject header, what is everyone's first music single.

Well to kick it off.... umm... erm....

Kylie and Jason - Especially for you (!)

To make matters worse, my second single was Angry Anderson - Suddenly (The theme to Scott and Charlene's Wedding in Neighbours!) Oh come on, I was 8 at the time. All so innocent back then!

It was Olivia Newton John's "Hopelessly devoted to you" in 1978.

First album was Abba's Super Trouper.

I'm such a gay.

Me too, and the Fast Forward or Look In before that.

I started buying Smash Hits the week they printed a picture of Angel from Home and Away with her tits out.

The first single I ever had (which I didn't buy myself) was the Mr Blobby single. My first album (again, which I didn't buy) was some compilation CD.

The first album I bought was the first in the series of "The Best Dance Album In The World... Ever" series, on tape, must have been 1992/3.

With regards to the first single, it'll have been one of these which all date from sometime in 1994, I have no idea what order they came out in:

Zig & Zag (of The Big Breakfast fame), their first single. Cool B-Side

Scatman John - Scatman (just found out this guy's been dead since 1999)

Snap - Welcome To Tomorrow

East 17 - Steam

Youssou N'Dour & Ninah Cherry - 7 seconds. Great song.

I will now go and put a blanket over my head to hide my embarrassment of admitting ownership of some of these records.

Spice Girls - Who do you think you are / Mama

jesus... and My first album was either Savage Garden or Space Jam OST ... I cant remember...

I think my first half decent album was/is Sleeping with ghosts by Placebo

First album was True Blue by Madonna. Can't remember my first single, except that it followed some time later (it used to be that I always got albums)

Mine was Wet Wet Wet - Sweet Surrender. Then I got the album, and took it from there...
