Emirati singer Ahlam is one of the biggest rising stars to emerge on the Arabic music scene over the past two decades. The singer's fusion of traditional and modern Arab music, as well as her authentically beautiful voice, have established her as one of the most beloved Arab singers.

The Arab artist, who was born Ahlam Ali Al-Shamsi in Abu Dhabi, is credited by critics and many of her peers with popularizing traditional Arab music and giving it a larger audience across the Middle East and Arab World.

Treasured by her fans who refer to her simply as "queen," Ahlam has become one of the most popular Arab performers, selling out concerts across the region and playing a prominent role in the biggest Arab festivals over the years.

In honor of her birthday, Feb. 13, we take a look back on her more than 20 years in music with 15 of her bests.
