17-time GRAMMY® Award-winning artist and worldwide-celebrated music icon Alicia Keys is commemorating the album that started it all, Songs In A Minor, as June marks a milestone anniversary of the iconic, groundbreaking, and GRAMMY® Award-winning album’s release. In celebration of the anniversary, Legacy Recordings, the catalog division of Sony Music Entertainment, will release special 25th Anniversary Editions of the timeless album available on three different shades of vinyl on June 26th.
Songs In A Minor debuted at #1, won 5 Grammys, has been certified 7 times platinum in the U.S. and has sold over 12 million albums worldwide. In addition, the album was entered into the National Recording Registry at the Library of Congress in 2022. The album’s lead single, “Fallin’,” propelled Keys to global success as the song spent six weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earned a place on the highly coveted Billboard Hot 100 Songs of the Decade list.
