Top 10 Best Aaliyah Songs

As a true icon of R&B and pop music, Aaliyah left an indelible mark on the hearts of millions with her smooth vocals, sultry beats, and memorable melodies. Though her time with us was tragically cut short, she created an extraordinary musical legacy that continues to inspire and captivate listeners around the world.

From her groundbreaking debut album, Age Ain't Nothing But a Number, to her critically acclaimed, self-titled final project, Aaliyah's discography is a testament to her evolution as a singer, performer, and trendsetter. This list spans her all-too-brief career, highlighting the tracks that captured hearts and topped charts, as well as those that showcased her unique style and depth.

The Top Ten

  1. Try Again

    There is a reason why ThoughtCo ranked this song as the best pop song of all time. RIP Aaliyah.

  2. One In a Million

    This is "the" Aaliyah song. It was the first time that Timbaland's futuristic, unorthodox beats hit the airwaves, and Aaliyah was the perfect vehicle to deliver them to the world. Her voice is perfectly meshed with the beat, the crickets create a dramatic crepuscular atmosphere, and that amazing bass line is still untouchable.

    It's not her best vocal performance, nor is it probably her very best song ("Are You That Somebody?" is perhaps the height of her vocal delivery and Timbaland's ridiculous creativity), but it's her signature song and the tune that fits her style and persona best.

    It's Aaliyah at her most. And best.

  3. Are You that Somebody?

    Absolutely great song… Except for those weird baby noises in the background.

  4. More Than a Woman

    I just love and adore this song. The beat is awesome. I wish she were still alive today!

  5. Rock the Boat

  6. Don't Know What to Tell Ya

    This is my favorite Aaliyah song. This is her best song. RIP baby girl.

  7. We Need a Resolution

    This should be around 3 because it really is good, and I love the beat.

  8. I Care 4 U

  9. 4 Page Letter

    It's amazing how enjoyable this song is despite its length. Aaliyah's craft was beyond great in this song.
