* OnceOriginalNowCommon: Music/{{Timbaland}} perfected his electronic-sounding production style on ''One in a Million'', and it's a huge success in R&B today. Given that half the female artists in R&B have been inspired by it, it might come as a surprise to new listeners just how new and innovative it was at the time. Likewise Aaliyah was one of the first artists using soft vocals in such a way (or at least one of the first to achieve mainstream popularity) - which is surprising considering just how many artists use that today. And given how female artists as a whole became HotterAndSexier in the 2000s, it might be surprising that Aaliyah was considered a sex symbol in the '90s and many of her clips were considered "risque".
