I own all of Aaliyah's music in some form (Age on cassette, OIAM and Romeo Must Die on official CD, and Aaliyah and I Miss You (so I could get the debut singles on CD) on bootleg CD. But, so happy for everyone who has been waiting for her music to hit streaming!

It so exciting to see this thread bumped nearly every day! And we still have two more weeks of releases to go. And probably more in 2022 if the posthumous album actually happens and/or other releases like her soundtrack songs and B-sides.

Not sure if the writers/producers matter as much to me, in retrospect. She completely switched it up with all three albums in terms of the writers/producers, and yet they are all still extremely strong albums individually. That’s pretty rare & remarkable. Oh I totally agree with you. I’m looking at OIAM album only and it’s quite obvious the hits/strongest songs were from Timbaland and Missy. Now the red album is my favorite and they weren’t featured heavily on it; however, her second album did showcase what those three could have been capable of if given the chance. This is an interesting take, because, while I do think the other producers on OIAM brought fire, I was a sucker for anything Timbaland/Missy/Magoo at that time. Although the Red Album brought "some" of her strongest material to date, I'm curious if Timbaland/Missy/Magoo could have brought something even harder. If anything, I did wish the Red album included more producers like OIAM did. Cause I mention above, while that album has some of her best material, there were some songs on there I could do without.

I like this aggressive promotion with the digital copy; however, I refused to pay pennies for her music. She deserved more. I did the $10 off iTunes and I'm happy that I did before the discount. I don't know the music is too good to be sold for pennies even though I like the marketing to get people interested.

HITS' current projection has her at #10 with 25k SPS (11k sales). It just might crack the top-10 for the first time!

Looks like there's a chance she loses the #10 spot to Dua Lipa or Pop Smoke.

I can still remember that fateful Sunday morning learning about it. Awful...
MTV played an episode of her on Diary later that day. Just didn't feel like watching it.
Just couldn't fuck with 2001 with Aaliyah gone and 9/11 happening. Two horrific events that I would gladly hit that delete button with ease!!

Aaliyah’s spirit will continue resonate throughout time. She was very much a quality artist that left far too soon… 22 is way too young.

Watching “Romeo Must Die” right now, and it just hurts to know she had so much POTENTIAL when it came to her acting. She was just scratching the surface. Sure, the movie is a tiny bit corny but she plays it straight and shows quite a range of emotions in the film. A natural.

I know sales are abysmal but I'm surprised by those numbers considering the fact that the album has never been on streaming and hasn't been available to purchase in over a decade. I still have my fingers crossed for OIAM & 4PL to sell/stream enough to make the Hot 100. In related artist news Timbaland's albums with Magoo and his first "solo" album will be available to stream/purchase tomorrow

Even it the album gets bumped out to #11, it will still peak higher than it did in '96

I've been working on "Complete Edition" playlists for my top 50 favorite artists and I wanted to post them here for brainstorming/feedback. The Red Album doesn't really have extra tracks, but I'm not sure if I'm missing some of her features. I also padded out I Care 4 U with a bunch of her soundtrack songs. {Age Aint Nothin But a Number}Intro Throw Your Hands Up Back & Forth Age Ain't Nothing But A Number Down With The Clique At Your Best (You Are Love) No One Knows How To Love Me Quite Like You Do I'm So Into You Street Thing Young Nation Old School I'm Down Back & Forth (Remix) The Thing I Like {One in a Million}Are You Ready Beats 4 Da Streets (Intro) Hot Like Fire One In A Million A Girl Like You If Your Girl Only Knew Choosey Lover (Old School/New School) Got To Give It Up 4 Page Letter Everything's Gonna Be Alright Giving You More I Gotcha' Back Never Givin' Up Heartbroken Never Comin' Back Ladies In Da House The One I Gave My Heart To Came To Give Love (Outro) No Days Go By Death Of A Playa Hot Like Fire (Remix) Journey To The Past {The Red Album}We Need A Resolution Loose Rap Rock The Boat More Than A Woman Never No More I Care 4 U Extra Smooth Read Between The Lines I Refuse U Got Nerve It's Whatever I Can Be Those Were The Days What If Messed Up {I Care 4 U}Are You That Somebody? Try Again Come Back In One Piece Are You Feelin' Me? I Don't Wanna Don't Know What To Tell Ya All I Need Miss You Don't Worry Come Over Erica Kane Turn The Page Where Could He Be Got To Give It Up (Remix) Enough Said {Featuring Aaliyah}I Need You Tonight (Junior M.A.F.I.A. feat.

I would personally add the CJ Macintosh/UK Flavour remix of At Your Best (It's a slightly remixed version using her vocals from the album/LP version) or the Single/Gangstar Child remix to AANBAN. I would add "La La La" (a previously unreleased song that was written/recorded during the OIAM era during session that produced No Days Go By), Timbaland's remix of OIAM feat ginuwine (It was "commercially" released on the Sprung soundtrack in the US), the radio version of TOIGMHT, The "new" remix of IYGOK feat. Missy, and Timbaland's Main Mix of 4PL to OIAM. The new tracks featured on "I Care 4 U" are actually leftovers from the "AALIYAH" aka Red album sessions so yeah there is nothing to add there unless you are a fan of the remixes of MTAW & RTB.
