When you being an article with that Maxi Priest earworm, it's difficult for me to concentrate on anything else. I was obsessed with that song in 1990 and man it has aged well.

That song is so good! Can’t say I reached obsession level, but definitely close!

"Tom's Diner" was the first cassette single I ever bought. My parents hated the song, but I loved it. Buying it was my first act of aesthetic rebellion!

That’s a decent first single! I think mine was “Because The Night” by 10,000 Maniacs. Still awesome to this day (though that cassingle is buried at the bottom of a cardboard box somewhere in my house).
