The late singer’s self-titled album, Aaliyah, was released on streaming platforms. It reached No. 1 on the U.S. iTunes chart. Initially, it was released in 2001, one month before the “I Care 4 U” singer tragically passed away in a plane crash.
A few weeks ago, Aaliyah fans finally got to stream her music for the first time in a decade. Her music wasn’t available on any streaming platform for years after facing legal battles with her estate and label.
Her 1996 sophomore double platinum album, One In A Million, debuted at No. 10 on the Billboard 200 chart. When it originally came out, it ranked at No. 20.
Take a listen:
Fans have hit social media to share their listening experiences and talk about how iconic Aaliyah’s music is — even decades later. Amorphous tweeted, “Aaliyah’s self-titled album continues to be groundbreaking two decades later. There is not a single album that sounds like it as a whole, not one. It stands in a class of its own sonically and conceptually.”

I felt Aaliyah so hard when she said, "If you had let me know, I wouldn't have put on my clothes." #Aaliyah pic.twitter.com/b4QuLLJYCm

I’m also thinking about beauty/fashion looks and the typography on her self-titled. They were always thinking ahead. She will be an eternal icon/blueprint. We don’t get many artists like her and we won’t have another?
