One in a Million is the second studio album by American R&B singer Aaliyah, released by Blackground Records on August 27, 1996 (see 1996 in music). Eventually selling over 3 million copies in the United States, the album was notable for being Aaliyah's breakout album and for being a major landmark in the careers of songwriter/producer Missy Elliott and Tim "Timbaland" Mosley. Elliott and Mosley wrote and produced the bulk of the album. Other producers included Rodney Jerkins, Jermaine Dupri, and Kay Gee. The album was executive produced by Barry Hankerson and Jomo Hankerson. It features the singles,"One in a Million", "Hot Like Fire" (Timbaland's Groove Mix), "The One I Gave My Heart To", "If Your Girl Only Knew", and "4 Page Letter". The album went to sell over 11 million copies worldwide.
