This classic as record didn't touch the hot 100. I amazed at this feat, let's you know good music will be appreciated even if it's not at that time.
Wow that is crazy because that seemed like a hit back then too. Played so damn much
:omgwatshappening:
I think there is some rule that prevented it from charting
I believe it was #1 on Airplay though. Her power and demand>>>>>>
Most the 90?s r&b songs wasn?t that big of hits we just didn?t know cause it wasn?t any internet
It wasn?t released as a physical single. So it couldn?t chart.
But shocked! Crazy! New discovery! woWoWoW!
As if it wasn?t JUST discussed on here why her single certifications are few.

Ppl in the 90s cared more about you buying the album than being on some damn singles chart.
A lot of her singles from the OIAM era didn't chart
High key I never thought that The One I Gave My Heart To charted that high until I researched it back in the day... I was like really a top 10 hit? It makes sense but it?s barely talked about

It's really her only "safe" song tbh. I feel like Aaliyah making edgy, risky choices with Tim stifled her success. She had the voice to do poppy, light and buttery stuff, but always released forward stuff that was darker with the chance of not catching on.

Yeah like I was confused that 4 Page Letter and Hot Like Fire Remix ain?t chart higher b/c as a kid I remember those songs more than TOIGMT but I can see the pop stations and the whites goin up for it... shit that probably was her ticket to the White House that Christmas in ?97

It has to be another one of those rules or just radip singles or sumn because that song played non stop. The video was huge and everything. The movie was majorly successful so it's gotta be sumn stupid that kept it from charting

Same with Toni's "Seven Whole Days".

Yea, 7 whole days was my favorite "single" from that album tbh
This legendary ass woman. This still is a vibe.
:gorlonfire:
Songs that were not physically released (CD, hard copy) could not chart at the time -- except on Airplay charts --- Prior to December 1998.
It's the reason why TOP OF THE WORLD (Brandy) never charted on the Hot 100 either.
But Aaliyah ultimately peaked at #1 (Hot 100) with just airplay alone in 2000... after the rule changed.
:blessed:
Record labels were ok with singles not charting ... because they wanted album sales instead >>>
And if you look back... ARE YOU THAT SOMEBODY barely charted (#21), because it peaked its airplay during the change (Dec 1998)... Prior to the change, it wasn't charting (on the Hot 100). It could have easily been a Top 10 hit for her.

Um yeah. A sale is a sale especially back then as these singles weren't going for 0.99. Most definitely could've capitalized.

He did make a lot of money, though. If people wanted Try Again, they had to buy the whole album soundtrack. :dead:
He saw what AYTS did for the Dr. Dolittle soundtrack.
Barry and Blackground was horrible for a lot of artists Aaliyah, Tank, Jojo, Toni etc
It?s no surprise they slacked on getting physical singles for Aaliyah to chart
It probably had a cost that they wanted to avoid
It does show how powerful RADIO AIRPLAY can be, tho.
Especially back then.
nnnn all these would be Top 10s. Quee.

Most other artists used a different tactic...
They would withhold a physical CD single release for months (so no charting)... until its airplay peaked...
Which is why Mariah, Michael, and Whitney were able to debut at #1 (Hot 100). It happened a lot in the 1995-1998 era.
We probably don't care much about these artists.... but songs like "Don't Speak" by No Doubt, was #1 (Hot 100 Airplay) for months, but never charted on the Hot 100 due to no physical CD release.

The song "Iris" by the Goo-Goo Dolls (a classic to many, by the way) was #1 (Airplay) for 18 weeks -- it kept THE BOY IS MINE from the #1 airplay spot :ermm:
Yet... The Boy Is Mine was perched at #1 (13 weeks) on the Hot 100,
while "IRIS" never charted... cause of no physical CD release.
This is one of my fave songs of ALL TIME. :stressed:
Anyway back then all record companies cared about what shifting albums. That is where the money was. A lot of HUGE singles weren't released as singles in order to encourage consumers to buy the album instead.
!!!
Low key, it's what Brandy's label wanted after THE BOY IS MINE shifted over 2 million copies...
Top of the World never saw a real single release -- and it paid off. Sis was 3 million sold (album) by the end of 1998.
folks couldn?t stop buying Ncjdjd
I had to get my granny to drive to 3 different targets for it :plzstop:

Barry and Blackground was horrible for a lot of artists Aaliyah, Tank, Jojo, Toni etc
It?s no surprise they slacked on getting physical singles for Aaliyah to chart
It probably had a cost that they wanted to avoid
Worst label ever, tbh.
They got her that cheap plane that killed her. :overit: :fuming:

We probably don't care much about these artists.... but songs like "Don't Speak" by No Doubt, was #1 (Hot 100 Airplay) for months, but never charted on the Hot 100 due to no physical CD release.
Top 5 fav songs ever ugh
!!!!! Speaking of haunting melodies ... omfg

Cheap as fuck.
I understand that traveling is expensive -- if you look at Aaliyah's schedule, sis FLEW a LOT during those months -- within two days alone she flew to NYC for 106, flew out to Miami, flew to the Bahamas, and there's CREW to pay for too, etc. But safety, over everything >
Sis was flying like how someone hops into their car.
I had no idea so many artists didn?t release physical singles back then. :guys:
Blackstreet's "Don't Leave Me" .... you couldn't tell me this wasn't at least a Top 10 Hot 100 hit.... nope.
No physical CD.
:everythingok:
And there was clear intent for Blackstreet to do that with "Don't Leave Me"
Months prior they had a #1 (Hot 100) hit with "No Diggity" -- which had a physical CD.
Another LEGEND... without charting on the Hot 100... no CD release...
:everythingok:

Most the 90?s r&b songs wasn?t that big of hits we just didn?t know cause it wasn?t any internet
In some ways I feel like we?re slowly going back to the days where we don?t care anymore because we?re looking for music elsewhere than on the charts. Also because how ridiculous the rules, changes and shit are now these days.
