Mine was Babyface, "The Day." Got it for my 11th birthday. 1996.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

ETA: This is the first music I bought myself. I had plenty of music bought for me before this as gifts on birthdays and Xmas, by my parents, over the years.

When I was 8 I bought Racy - Smash and Grab with lunch money I'd saved up over a few months just for this song.

and this song.

About a year later I bought Kate Bush - Never for ever after seeing the sexiest woman I'd ever seen on The Kenny Everett show.

This is the first music medium I actively went out and bought with my own money (it was a CD).
Omg I haven't listened to this in at least a decade! Meh, my taste could have been worse... for the 90s... and for a 12yo.

Back in the day (mid 70s) Target would occasionally put all their vinyl on sale for $4 each.
I definitely bought these albums, and still have them.

1994 (I was 10 years old), pirated copy of "The best of DJ Bobo" on a cassette. At that time buying originals costed a whole fortune, so the majority of us relied on pirated copies. Later he released "Magic" which I managed to buy from the editor with a huge discount (without my mom knowing that 'cause she used to consider listening to music to be a useless waste of time and bullshit) and as a bonus for me going directly to their office they gave me for free the best Prodigy's album - "The fat of the land", also on a cassette. Ever since that time, I bought all I could on cassettes - all originals. With the computers making their way in my country everyone started buying pirated CDs because cassettes became a lot cheaper than they used to be at first but CDs took their place in the competition of being expensive. Nowadays the most of the music can be purchased and downloaded directly from the publisher, so now nobody uses CDs or DVDs for music - we're all with smartphones, micro SD cards or USB flash drives.
