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.

[Rxxf]

But Aaliyah ultimately peaked at #1 (Hot 100) with just airplay alone in 2000... after the rule changed.

[Rxxf]

Record labels were ok with singles not charting ... because they wanted album sales instead >>>

[Rxxf]

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.

I never knew that was Coko

Really? Her voice is so distinct

As an adult I can hear but back then I didn?t

What was her uncles fucking problem with selling her records?

It appears that he may have wanted album sales, instead.
Which are more lucrative than singles.

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

But why not both?

He did make a lot of money, though.  If people wanted Try Again, they had to buy the whole album soundtrack. 

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

[Rxxf]

It does show how powerful RADIO AIRPLAY can be, tho.
Especially back then.

[Aalonso.]

nnnn all these would be Top 10s. Quee.
