Adnan's first single was released in 1986 with an English smash hit single in the Middle East which went straight to No.1 position[dubious – discuss] in its first week entry onto the music charts of the region[which?] with a song he wrote and recorded in his voice for the United Nations and UNICEF called "Run for his life". This was followed by 3 more No.1s[dubious – discuss], "Talk To Me", "Hot Summer Day" & "You're My Best Kept Secret".[citation needed]
His first formal album was an Indian classical album on the piano accompanied by tabla maestro Zakir Hussain in 1989 called "The One & Only". He had his first vocal solo album "Raag Time" in 1991. The song from his album "Teri Yaad" was the title track of his first album which became a huge hit in Pakistan.
In 1994, he composed music for a film for the first time.[which?] The 1995 Pakistani film, Sargam in which Adnan was the lead actor and well known Indian playback singer Asha Bhosle did the playback Sargam, was a blockbuster.[17] It was also the first time that an Indian playback singer was featured in an album in Pakistan. However, the authorities banned Asha's voice from the soundtrack in the actual film, which disappointed Adnan. He then had to re-record the songs with Hadiqa Kiyani.Asha's voice was retained however in the CDs & records. To date Sargam is the only film Adnan acted in & is the biggest selling album of all time in Pakistan. The film & its soundtrack continue to be a milestone in Pakistan's film & musical history.[17]
