Aaliyah's Top 10 Billboard Hits


Billboard posted an article to commemorate the 10th year anniversary of Aaliyah's untimely death. She would have been 32 this year.
The article gives  a lot of info about each of her hits and includes the video of each song. Two of my favorites are "One In A Million" and "Try Again"






Aaliyah staked her claim on the Billboard charts from the birth of her career. "Back and Forth" -- the first single off her first album "Age Ain't Nothing But a Number" -- skyrocketed to No. 1 on multiple R&B/hip-hop surveys two months after debuting. But it wasn't until Aaliyah met close friends Missy Elliott and Timbaland that her chart domination spread across the board. In all, Aaliyah totaled four No. 1 titles and 12 top 10s on Billboard's Nielsen BDS-based Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop radio airplay chart."
