Aaliyah's Musical Legacy: Known as the Queen of Urban Pop to some and Baby Girl to others, Aaliyah was a rising star in R&B before her career ended abruptly. After signing with her first label at 12, Aaliyah innovated in her genre and paved the way for artists to come. Her three albums were all met with critical acclaim and earned her multiple awards, including three American Music Awards and two MTV VMA's. She also starred in two films before passing away in August 2001.

Aaliyah's Albums: Age Ain't Nothing but a Number, her first album, was a solid start for the singer, selling 3 million copies in the United States and going double platinum under the distribution of Jive Records. Notable songs include "At Your Best (You Are Love)" and "Down with the Clique." One in a Million, Aaliyah's sophomore album, also went double platinum. This time under Atlantic Records, she collaborated with artists including Timbaland, Missy Elliot, Treach, and Slick Rick. Notable songs include "If Your Girl Only Knew," "One in a Million," and "The One I Gave My Heart To." Aaliyah's final album was released one month before her death. Her maturity shows itself in the themes presented, where she speaks on the complexities of relationships. While the album didn't initially have as much success as the others, her death caused sales to skyrocket, ultimately reaching 13 million copies sold and reaching the top spot on the Billboard 200. Notable songs include "More Than A Woman," "Read Between The Lines," and "Never No More."

Aaliyah's Impact and Lasting Legacy: Aaliyah's music had a strong impact on R&B because of her unique vocal talent, a keen eye for producers, and her untimely death. Many artists have chosen to sample her music and honor her legacy, including Rick Ross, Chris Brown, H.E.R., Solange, Nipsey Hussle, Drake, and Young Money. Aaliyah passed away at the age of 22 in an airplane accident. Since her death, her legacy has grown as fans continue to support her through her music.
