Late R&B songstress Aaliyah and country superstar Tim McGraw lead the list of BMI's winners from the 29th annual American Music Awards held Wednesday (1/9/02) in Los Angeles. Aaliyah bested newcomer Alicia Keys twice in the Soul/Rhythm & Blues Music category by scoring wins for Favorite Female Artist and Favorite Album for Aaliyah, her final album before her tragic death in a plane crash last August.
