It depends on how you define 'album'. If you are referring to LP discs, Columbia Records released the first commercially viable long-playing records in 1948 so that would be a place to start further research. However, the term 'album' was used long before that time to describe book-like folders that held multiple 78rpm discs. These folders held collections of short songs by one or more artists, or the multiple discs needed to contain longer works such as symphonies. These folders date back to the earliest days of disc recording in the early part of the 20th century so it would be quite difficult to track down the very first one ever issued. The first album to be release is in 1926 by a jazz band in the United States

The first test CD was pressed in Langenhagen near Hannover, Germany, by the Polydor Pressing Operations plant. The disc contained a recording of Richard Strauss'sEine Alpensinfonie(in English language, An Alpine Symphony), played by the Berlin Philharmonic and conducted by Herbert von Karajan

The first public demonstration was on the BBC television program Tomorrow's World when The Bee Gees' album Living Eyes(1981) was played.[12] In August 1982 the real pressing was ready to begin in the new factory, not far from the place where Emil Berliner had produced his first gramophone record 93 years earlier.

the first release was 52nd Street by Billy Joel, which was released in 1982, the original version in 1978

It will never be know who made the first song. Nor what is was. Music certainly pre-dates written history. However, Jimmy Dean hit the charts with his 'speak-don't sing' monster hit "Big John" in the late 50s.... that has to be the original rap song
