Age Ain't Nothing But A Number (Aaliyah Song)
"Age Ain't Nothing but a Number" is a song recorded by American singer Aaliyah for her debut studio album of the same name (1994). It was written and produced by R. Kelly and is lyrically about a young girl wanting to date an older man. Containing a lyrical interpolation from the song " What You Won't Do for Love" by Bobby Caldwell, the "soulful" ballad opens with a guitar-piano interplay, with Aaliyah's spoken voice noting her daily diary entry. Blackground Records and Jive Records released "Age Ain't Nothing but a Number" as the third single–and final single in the United States–from ''Age Ain't Nothing but a Number'' on December 6, 1994. Commercially, "Age Ain't Nothing but a Number" performed poorly on the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100, peaking at number 75, also peaking at number 35 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. Internationally, it reached the top 40 in the United Kingdom. While the critics were initially positive towards the song, it soon faced controversy when a m ...

Smash Hits
''Smash Hits'' was a British music magazine aimed at young adults, originally published by EMAP. It ran from 1978 to 2006, and, after initially appearing monthly, was issued fortnightly during most of that time. The name survived as a brand for a spin-off digital television channel, which was later renamed Box Hits, and website. A digital radio station was also available but closed on 5 August 2013. Overview ''Smash Hits'' featured the lyrics of latest hits and interviews with big names in music. It was initially published monthly, then went fortnightly. The style of the magazine was initially serious, but from the mid-1980s became increasingly irreverent.

Created by journalist Nick Logan, the title was launched in 1978 and appeared monthly for its first few issues. He based the idea on ...
