The tracklist for the latest release on streaming services also includes the bonus track "Hot Like Fire" (Timbaland's Groove Mix).

The album peaked at no. 2 on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart back in February 1997, ranking on the chart for 71 weeks.

Aaliyah had a total of 18 songs rank on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, with 11 top 10 tracks and three no. 1 hits.

Before the latest release, the only record from Aaliyah available digitally was her debut album Age Ain't Nothing But A Number. Some songs from the soundtrack of Romeo Must Die, the movie in which Aaliyah made her film debut, and compilation albums have also been available on selected music platforms.

Background Records announced on August 5 that it would be re-releasing its entire music catalogue on streaming services worldwide, following a new partnership with EMPIRE, an independent music label.

In addition to the release of Aaliyah's full music catalogue over the coming months, Blackground Records and EMPIRE plan to release records from Timbaland & Magoo, Toni Braxton and JoJo on digital platforms, along with the full soundtracks for the films Romeo Must Die and Exit Wounds.
