First Love is Utada Hikaru's first album (although she had an album before this under the name of Cubic U). This album reached #1 in Oricon charts and charted for an amazing 84 weeks. Oricon reports that 7,650,000 copies were sold in Japan, and the official world tally for the number of albums sold is 9,700,000. This made First Love the #1 album for 1999, as well as being the most sold album in Japanese music history. All the songs on this album were written and composed by Utada herself, except for two instances: a line used in The Rolling Stones' song Paint it Black (I see a red door and I wanna paint it black) in Amai Wana ~Paint It, Black, and the music for Never Let Go, as it samples Sting's song Shape of My Heart.
