I illegally downloaded music until 2009, when I purchased Mariah Carey - I Stay In Love after listening to it on YouTube.
Your first ever musical purchase
2 of 3
First album I remember buying was Alvin Stardust. First single-there were several I got or was given around the same time so can't really say which was 'first',it could be the Bay City Rollers Give A Little Love or the 1975 reissue of Space Oddity.
"Theme For A Dream" - Cliff Richard. and The Shadows

We've a copy of that somewhere. I don't know when mum and dad bought it but it was before I was born. I never listened to it though.

You must be very young as it seems you only experienced music during the digital era. You are lucky!

Cool!
mine was the kinks 'dead end street'.
Now That's What I Call Music 3. It's still somewhere in my parents' attic. 
The first CD I can remember actually choosing to get was probably Steps. :\ I know we had Robson & Jerome, Spice Girls, Now 42, Take That (tape) etc before that, but I don't think we actually chose those.
The first CD I remember actually saving up to get was Westlife's World Of Our Own, and I still love them 11 years after that.
The first singles I remember buying were Will Young's Evergreen and Gareth Gates' Unchained Melody!

My sister bought that, it was the first album I ever probably listened to. I pretty much had no option but to like her musical tastes. Then Jason Donvan, then Chesney Hawkes, then Mariah Carey.
My first purchase, that I remember, was Eternal - Always and Forever on cassette, 1993.

I love that song
I used to get records bought for me because I was never really interested in music for some reason. The first single I bought myself was (if i remember correctly) Baby One More Time. There is a possibility it could have been Boyzones Comic Relief single though.
My first album was Madonnas 'American Life'. It's still a favourite of mine.

First single ever bought for me was Three Lions, the original. First one I bought with my own money was Me And You vs The World, by Space. Great little 90's song..
First single was Together in Electric Dreams by Phil Oakey and Giorgio Moroder.
First album was Silk and Steel by Five Star.
