Aaliyah Dana Haughton, known mononymously as Aaliyah, was an American singer, actress, dancer, and model who redefined contemporary R&B, pop, and hip-hop in the 1990s. Dubbed the "Princess of R&B" and "Queen of Urban Pop," she seamlessly blended soulful vocals with innovative production. Her debut album, "Age Ain't Nothing but a Number," achieved double platinum status, while her collaborations with Timbaland and Missy Elliott on "One in a Million" showcased her evolving artistry. Aaliyah's self-titled third album topped the Billboard 200, solidifying her status as a musical icon. Tragically, her life was cut short in a 2001 plane crash at age 22, but her influence endures, inspiring countless artists and fans worldwide.
