The album sold like 180k first week and took 2 months to struggle to like 450k. She died and then sold like 400k the week after that.
Selling like that in the early 2000s when ACTUAL big R&B acts were doing 5x platinum in the US and 10M WW is "flopping". Let's just be real.
You're always trying to be "impartial" as if wording your posts like a wiki article will make it any less full of ********.

That album gave her the biggest first week sales of her career and went gold within a month with only 1 single and two televised performances. Lets not forget that aaliyah didnt have a big machine behind her brand.
Aaliyah was always a slow seller but still manage to achieve multi platinum albums and hits with each of her album eras. Whats the logic in your post?
And simpleton, it doesnt matter what day in age it is. A platinum album is a platinum album (Aaliyah was a multi platinum artist btw) . There were artists back then that couldnt even go platinum. If that was the true tea then every single artist would have diamond albums.
. It deserved to tho, that album is flawless from start to finish. But yeah, these sales are massively inflated
