Her death still haunts today, but due to a legal dispute between her record label and surviving estate, Aaliyah's fans have endured the extra heartbreak of being unable to stream her music online. Her catalog has not been available on Spotify, Tidal, Apple, and all other music streaming services, until now.

Will Aaliyah ever be on Spotify?

Spotify announced on Thursday that Aaliyah's full discography will soon be available on the music streaming service. “Baby girl is coming to Spotify,” the platform wrote in an Instagram post. Currently, only her debut album, Age Ain't Nothing but a Number, is available to stream on Spotify.

Why is Aaliyah's music not on streaming services?

As for why Aaliyah's albums have long been out-of-print and unavailable to stream over the past decade, Hankerson claims he was honoring the wishes of his sister and Aaliyah's mother Diane, who alongside her son and Aaliyah's brother Rashad run the singer's estate.
