MC Hammer's first album was the independent release "Feel My Power" in 1987. Capitol Records picked it up, and re-released it as "Let's Get it Started" in 1988

In the UK his debut was in June 1990 for his first single U Can't Touch This and his first album Please Hammer Don't Hurt 'Em in Juyl 1990, so he must have been popular in the US before then.

I confirm Eno's details. It was the biggest hit in summer of 1990 across the Europe.

Similar timing in Australia. I 1st saw the video for "U Can't Touch This" when in debuted at no.1 on the charts. The video begins with MC Hammer being presented with awards for "Favourite Rap Artist" and "Favourite Rap Album". It was news to me, I had never heard of him before!
