WAKE IT UP!

On this day, 30 years ago, Aaliyah released her sophomore album, ‘One in A Million’!

One in a Million was heavily and extensively promoted with media appearances and live performances. It produced six singles—”If Your Girl Only Knew“, “Got to Give It Up“, “One in a Million“, “4 Page Letter“, “The One I Gave My Heart To” and “Hot Like Fire“—with “The One I Gave My Heart To” becoming the highest-peaking single on the US Billboard Hot 100 at number nine. Following its 2021 reissue, the album peaked at number 10 on the US Billboard 200. Retrospectively, it has been listed among the best albums of its era and genre by numerous publications. It has further been credited for re-establishing Aaliyah’s image, elevating the careers of Timbaland and Elliott, and influencing mainstream music trends of subsequent decades.
