Whitney Houston discography
The discography of American singer Whitney Houston (1963–2012) consists of seven studio albums, six compilations, four soundtrack albums, five box sets, six extended plays, and 57 singles. Houston's self-titled debut album was released in 1985. Whitney's top selling song is "I Will Always Love You", which is the lead single of the album accompanying the motion picture The Bodyguard. It spent fourteen weeks at #1 on the ''Billboard'' 200 and was certified 13× Platinum (Diamond) by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), denoting shipments of over thirteen million copies in the United States. With global sales of 30 million copies, it became the best-selling debut album by a solo artist. The album produced four US top 5 singles including three ''Billboard'' Hot 100 number-ones. In May 1987, Houston released her second album, ''Whitney''. The album debuted at number one on the ''Billboard'' 200 and spawned four US number-one singles; "I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)", "Didn't We Almost Have It All", "So Emotional", and "Where Do Broken Hearts Go", which established an unprecedented seven consecutive number one hits by a performer. ''Whitney'' was certified 9× Platinum by the RIAA and topped the charts in numerous countries, having sold in excess of 25 million copies worldwide. Houston's third studio album, ''I'm Your Baby Tonight'' (1990), peaked at number three on the ''Billboard'' 200 chart and yielded two number-one singles; "I'm Your Baby Tonight" and "All the Man That I Need", selling 13 million units. In February 1991, Houston released "The Star Spangled Banner" performance from Super Bowl XXV as a single, becoming the highest-charting rendition of the national anthem on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart.
''The Bodyguard'' soundtrack from her film debut, was released in November 1992. The album contains tracks by other recording artists but is considered a Houston album by ''Billboard''. It topped the ''Billboard'' 200 for twenty non-consecutive weeks, one of the longest tenures by an album in the Nielsen SoundScan era. The album was certified 17× Platinum (her third Diamond album) in the United States and sold over 45 million copies worldwide, becoming the best-selling soundtrack album and one of the top 5 best-selling albums of all time. The lead single from the soundtrack, "I Will Always Love You", topped the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 chart for a then-record-breaking fourteen weeks and was certified 6× Platinum by the RIAA, making her the first and only female artist to reach the level before the digital single era. Like the soundtrack, the single peaked at number one on the charts in nearly every country and sold 20 million copies worldwide, becoming one of the best-selling singles of all time. After Houston contributed to three songs including her eleventh number-one single "Exhale (Shoop Shoop)" on the seven-time-platinum album, ''Waiting to Exhale Soundtrack'' (November 1995), she released her second film's accompanying soundtrack, ''The Preacher's Wife'' in November 1996. The soundtrack was certified three times Platinum by the RIAA and became the biggest selling gospel album of all time. In 1998, she released her first studio album in eight years, ''My Love Is Your Love''. The album failed to match the commercial status of her previous albums, peaking at number thirteen, her lowest chart position on the ''Billboard'' 200 among her studio albums. Houston went on to achieve multi-platinum status with 13 million selling album worldwide, being certified 4× Platinum in the United States. From late 1998 to early 2000, the album generated five singles; "When You Believe" (duet with Mariah Carey), "Heartbreak Hotel", "It's Not Right But It's Okay", "My Love Is Your Love", and "I Learned from the Best".
Houston entered the 2000s with her first greatest hits compilation, ''Whitney: The Greatest Hits'', released in May 2000. The double-disc was certified 3× Platinum by the RIAA in 2002 and earned 5× Platinum award posthumously, recognizing 2.6 million in sales throughout the United States. The album hit the top position on the UK Albums Chart and sold over 1.66 million copies in the UK alone. Also, it reached the top ten in many worldwide markets, selling 13 million copies globally. ''Just Whitney'', released in December 2002, became her first album after renewing her contract with Arista for a record $100 million in 2001. The album failed to earn multi-platinum status, receiving only Platinum award in the US, and became her lowest-selling studio album to date. She released a holiday album, ''One Wish: The Holiday Album'' in November 2003. In September 2009, Houston returned the top position of the ''Billboard'' 200 with ''I Look to You'', becoming her fourth number-one album on the chart; which was her first non-soundtrack number-one in 22 years, since 1987's ''Whitney''. It also topped the album charts of several European countries and was certified Platinum by the RIAA. Her albums Whitney Houston, ''Whitney'' , ''The Bodyguard'' and ''Whitney: The Greatest Hits'' are among the top 100 certified albums according to the RIAA.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= RIAA: Top 100 Certified Albums )〕
