Set a value from the top SQL

Hi Folks!!

 This is what something i have went wrong with. I wanted to set a value which was returning from the top clause,
 what i tried was

SELECT  @Variable = Top 1 <<column>> FROM <<table>>

Certainly that gave me errors .
So few searches from internet has solved my problem.

this was the solution for it.

SET @Variable =( SELECT   Top 1 <<column>> FROM <<table>>)

Njoy!
