The Pussycat Dolls are back!

After much ado, Pop’s fiercest felines gave their big reunion performance moments ago on ‘The X Factor: Celebrity’ live final.

While anchored by Nicole Scherzinger, the spectacle saw fellow members Ashley Roberts, Carmit Bachar, Jessica Sutta, and Kimberly Wyatt show up and show out. 

Together, the ensemble (who won’t be joined by Melody Thornton for this reunion) rocked the stage with hits such as ‘Buttons’ and ‘Don’t Cha.’ They also seized the moment to close out the performance with brand new bop ‘React.’

Aaliyah has indisputably become an icon in the time since her tragic passing, aged just 22.

And she’s done so against the odds.

Because, in a wholly puzzling move, much of her music has been held off digital retail and streaming services.

Indeed, as at writing, only Aaliyah’s 1994 debut album ‘Age Ain’t Nothing But A Number’ is available. While a scant number of single tracks have been scattered across compilations.

It’s a reality that’s seen many fans rely on ever-rare physicals, YouTube, and bootlegs to bask in the brilliance of the late, great superstar.

Well, it finally seems as though the hustle and bustle attached to listening to Aaliyah is coming to an end. And for exciting reason too. Because her full discography will reportedly be heading to all streaming services within a mere matter of months.
