Music fans devastated by the tragic death of Whitney Houston are paying tribute to the legendary singer by purchasing her iconic songs and albums – sending Whitney back into the charts in impressive style.
The Official Charts Company reports that 27 of Whitney’s songs are on course to re-enter the Official Singles Chart Top 200 this Sunday, with Whitney’s huge hit from The Bodyguard, I Will Always Love You, leading the way. I Will Always Love You was massive success for Whitney when she released in the song nearly 20 years ago – it spent 10 weeks at Number One, and was the best-selling single of 1992.
Three of Whitney’s albums are also rushing up the Official Albums Chart, Whitney’s The Greatest Hits is at Number Six, The Essential Whitney is at 59 and her 1998 album My Love Is Your Love is at 107.
Official Charts Company managing director, Martin Talbot commented, “The tragic death of Whitney Houston came as a shock to her friends, colleagues and music fans across the world. Again, the British public is demonstrating its love of Whitney, just as it did for Amy Winehouse last year and Michael Jackson in 2009 – and the Official Charts will reflect that this weekend and, no doubt, in the coming weeks.”
