Ill-fated R&B star Aaliyah sold a whopping 30 million albums and was even nominated for an Academy Award for her contribution to the 'Anastacia' soundtrack, but garnered no Grammy nods during her seven-year career.

Despite 18 No. 1 singles and a career spanning four decades, the Motown icon doesn't have a Grammy statue for either her solo music or her work with the Supremes.
