Aaliyah’s Music Finally Coming to Streaming Services in the ‘Near Future,’ Estate Says

For years, several high-profile artists — including Prince, Metallica, Bob Seger and others — held back their music from streaming services, due usually to the comparatively low royalty rates compared with physical product.

However, in some cases, the holdout was due to disarray within the artist’s rights-holders — which has long been the case with, the R&B star who died in a plane crash in 2001 at the age of just 22. Her music has never appeared legally on streaming services — but all that may change soon, according to a cautiously worded announcement from her estate Tuesday.

“To our loyal fans: We are excited to announce that communication has commenced between the estate and various record labels about the status of Aaliyah’s music catalogue, as well as its availability on streaming platforms in the near future. Thank you for your continued love and support. More updates to come!”

Official message from the Estate of Aaliyah Haughton. Thank you for your continued love and support! 🙏

I still have all the CD's

Her estate should be ashamed

She was so gorgeous and talented.

They say this every year 🙄

Hope so!!! 🤞🏾

I really hope so

I so hope it’s true!!!

Part of her catalogue is already on Spotify.

I remember being overseas the year after she died...a German teenager I met found out I was American and said, “you’re from the US? I’m so sorry about Aliyah” - and I was humbled that even ppl from other countries knew & felt what a national treasure she was 🙏

My guess is they are waiting for the 20th anniversary of her death to release her music on streaming and probably some other exclusives.

This is the best news! So good .. so good 😊 💜😊🙏🏾

AaliyahHaughton This right here is for the world 🌎

When is the “Near Future”? I would like an estimate time.

Why hasn’t it been available in the first place? Infighting in the family? Legal trouble?

um,it's already on music streaming sites like pandora radio where you can create that station

PLEASE 😭

I’ll believe it when I see it!! Aaliyah doesn’t deserve this! She wouldn’t want people being deprived of what she worked so hard for and died for. RELEASE IT NOW! AaliyahHaughton AaliyahApp

I so hope it true!!!!

l'll believe it when it happens otherwise can you tell them to shut up. Thank you

Is this actually true, or did you pick this up from a fake twitter account? Please tell me you spoke to somebody on the phone.

Every year around the anniversary of her death and her birthday, we get this bullshit. Not buying it.
