* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Because her uncle [[http://www.complex.com/music/2016/12/aaliyahs-music-isnt-online-and-her-uncle-barry-hankerson-is-the-reason-why holds the rights]] to her music except for her first album, it's nigh-impossible to get copies of her last two albums because he refuses to release any of her music after her death for some bizarre reason. Physical copies are increasingly rare and expensive and the only way to get her last two albums is through illegal downloads or bootlegs. Unfortunately, as a side effect from her death, he also refuses to release ''any'' music on Blackground Records, stranding many of its artists and producers in DevelopmentHell, forcing them (one example being Music/{{Jojo}}) to sue him to release them from their contracts until the label shuttered.
** As of August 2021, however, ''One in a Million'' is finally on streaming services. ''Aaliyah,'' her third and final album, was rereleased that September.
