Whitney Houston

Whitney Houston's rendition of 'I Will Always Love You' spent 14 weeks at #1, making it the longest-running chart-topper by a female artist in Billboard Hot 100 history. Her 4-octave range and 422 million album sales worldwide position her as the best-selling R&B vocalist ever—outperforming #3 Prince by 120 million units. Whitney's 7 consecutive #1 singles on the Hot 100 are a record for any artist, and her 1992 film 'The Bodyguard' soundtrack remains the best-selling soundtrack of all time with 45 million copies.
