A Song for XX is Ayumi Hamasaki's first full-length album. It was officially released on January 1st 1999, but was advertised as being released on December 26th, 1998, which is when stores had it.

Hamasaki's first album displays a more youthful, innocent sound than any of her future releases. The focus is not on slick production, beats, or sounds here, but mostly on the lyrics and melodies. The unusually personal nature of the lyrics on songs such as "POWDER SNOW" helped put this album at the top of the Oricon chart, even though none of its singles accomplished that feat. The album debuted at #1 ending up being #1 weekly on the Oricon charts with the sales of 548,210. In total the album sold 1,451,910.
