AGE AIN'T NOTHING BUT A NUMBER

'''Age Ain't Nothing but a Number''' was the debut album for Aaliyah, released in 1994. The album debuted at #18 on the Billboard 200 album chart selling 74,000 copies in the first week. The album went on to sell over 3 million copies in the US alone, but is certified Double Platinum[1].
Entirely produced and written (save for one cover song) by R. Kelly, ''Age Ain't Nothing but a Number'' featured two hit singles, the #5 Billboard Hot 100/#1 R&B hit "Back & Forth" and the top 10 Hot 100/#2 R&B hit "At Your Best (You Are Love)", a cover of a 1976 Isley Brothers single. A hip-hop soul styled remix of "At Your Best" was also released.
In 1995, a rumor surfaced that 15-year old Aaliyah and 27-year old R. Kelly had secretly married. Both camps initially denied the rumor, but ''VIBE'' magazine magazine published a copy of their marriage license, which showed that Aaliyah's age had been falsely listed as eighteen. Some claim that this is the reason why the album's third single, "Age Ain't Nothing but a Number", made it to number seventy-five on the Hot 100. The marriage was annulled a few months later.
Late Rapper Proof of D12 makes a cameo appearance in the music video of Age Ain't Nothing but A Number.
