Ultimate Aaliyah is the second compilation album dedicated to late R&B singer Aaliyah. It was released on 10 May 2005 in the UK, Australia, and Japan (as Special Edition: Rare Tracks and Visuals). It includes two CDs and one DVD video disc.[1]

The first compact disc is a greatest hits collection, including all of Aaliyah's significant U.S. hits (in their LP versions) and two of her minor UK hits,The second disc is entitled Are You Feelin' Me? It contains material from soundtracks and from studio albums by labelmate Timbaland. The title track was released as a single in the UK to promote the album but failed to chart. Are You Feelin' Me? was also made available as a standalone download, allowing purchasers to obtain the rarities without duplicating the Greatest Hits.

The bonus DVD runs for sixty minutes, and features The Aaliyah Story – a documentary compiled of promo clips, interviews, and special features, including MTV special, MTV News Now: The Life of Aaliyah, a Tribute to Aaliyah, Aaliyah's VH1 Behind the Music installment, and her E! True Hollywood Story episode.

Ultimate Aaliyah debuted at #32 on the UK Albums Chart, with 20,000 copies sold.[1] It has sold over 1.4 million copies worldwide.[2]

In October 2011, it was awarded a gold certification from the Independent Music Companies Association (IMPALA), which indicated sales in excess of 75,000 copies throughout Europe.[3]

Special Edition: Rare Tracks and Visuals was released two months later, and included the songs "Are You Feelin' Me?" and "Messed Up" as its first two tracks – as on the second disc of Ultimate Aaliyah – plus remixes of "Rock the Boat", "More Than a Woman", and "Try Again". The DVD contains the same documentary as Ultimate Aaliyah.
