10th Anniversary Of An Epic Album
I'm doing a special review one of the best R&B albums. Aaliyah's third and final album "Aaliyah" which came 10 years ago. The album was released a month prior to the singer's death and is her most successful album of the 3 she released. Most of the album was completed by late 1999/early 2000 and was recorded while she filmed her last film 'Queen of the Damned'. The album was worked on for months in America, Europe and Australia.
The album spawned 4 US singles. Aaliyah only lives to see the release of 2, which were 'We Need A Resolution' and 'Rock The Boat'. The first singles was announced to be 'Loose Rap' but was later changed to 'We Need A Resolution' for unknown reasons. After her death, the album went straight to #1. The album is the highest sales increase in history, with an 800% increase the week of her death. It's also has longest stay on the Billboard 200 in history with 188 weeks (Later broken by Taylor Swift with 189 Weeks) ans its the Winner of 8 awards, including an American Music Awards for 'Best R&B/Soul Album Of The Year' in 2002.
10/10
