Better late than never
Aaliyah's uncle Barry Hankerson has announced that her full discography will be available on major streaming services on what would have been her 41st birthday: January 26th, 2020. Well technically, her birthday is actually the 16th, so a week after I guess. Only Aaliyah’s debut album, 1994’s 'Age Ain’t Nothing but a Number' was only made available for streaming and that's only because Hankerson didn't own the rights to the R. Kelly-produced project. Now fans will be free to stream her two other albums—1996’s 'One in a Million' and her third and final studio album, 2001’s 'Aaliyah.' I have ALL of Aaliyah's music in physical format, so this news isn't really a big deal on my end personally. I am happy for her fellow fans that rejoice in this development. But she passed away 18 years ago, and this is something that should have been done a long time ago. Screw Hankerson.
