"Age Ain't Nothing but a Number" was the debut album from Aaliyah, released in 1994 when she was 15. The album debuted at #24 on the Billboard 200 album chart in the first week and moved to a peak position of #18. The album was eventually certified for shipments of three million [http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/search/google/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=963309] copies. The album eventually went on to sell 8 million copies worldwide.

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.

The cover art for the album featured Aaliyah in the foreground sporting baggy clothing and Cazal sunglasses. R. Kelly can be seen in the distance, but blurry, background.
