The Philips factory in Germany, where the world’s first CD was pressed, belonged to Polygram – the recording company owned by Philips at the time. The first CD to be manufactured at the plant was “The Visitors” by ABBA. By the time CDs were introduced on the market in November 1982, a catalog of around 150 titles – mainly classical music – had been produced. The first CDs and CD players – including Philips’ CD100 – were introduced in Japan in November, followed by a US and European market introduction in March of 1983.

Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits was the 1st CD to go platinum or sell a million copies or something like that I think if I remember right...I didn't get a CD player until 1989, but when I got that it came with 2 free CDs - But Seriously by Phil Collins and the Cream of Eric Clapton.

It's amazing how many people get this one wrong.
The world's very first audio CD release was actually Billy Joel's album "52nd Street" on the Sony Music label.
