Name some albums you purchased strictly off hearing one single. And please name the single that got you.

They have to be albums you paid for not downloaded.

I didn't have cable growing up so I went based off of the radio and the local video show called Flava TV - I usually got all the southern and west coast vids that no one else played but were right up my alley.
