Aaliyah has been credited for helping redefine R&B and hip hop in the 1990s, "leaving an indelible imprint on the music industry as a whole."[83][100] Steve Huey of Allmusic wrote Aaliyah ranks among the "elite" artists of the R&B genre, as she "played a major role in popularizing the stuttering, futuristic production style that consumed hip-hop and urban soul in the late '90s."[101] Described as one of "R&B's most important artists" during the 1990s,[102] her second studio album, One in a Million, became one of the most influential R&B albums of the decade.[22] According to Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine, Aaliyah provided a "missing link" between hip hop and electronica.[103] With sales of 8.1 million albums in the United States and an estimated 24 to 32 million albums worldwide,[104][105][106] Aaliyah has been named the "Princess of R&B" [107] and "proved she was a muse in her own right".[108] Ernest Hardy of Rolling Stone dubbed her as the "undisputed queen of the midtempo come-on".[1
