Whitney Houston Gets Her 12th Billboard 200 Top 40 Entry with New Live Album
One of the most awarded female artist of all time Whitney Houston has yet another accolade awarded to her. Her latest release Live: Her Greatest Performances debuts at No. 19 on Billboard 200, giving the singer her 12th top 40 entry.
The new Live: Her Greatest Performances sold 22,000 copies in the week ending Nov. 16, according to Nielsen SoundScan and bows at No. 1 on R&B Albums and No. 2 on Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums (her 12th top 10 on the latter).
Though Whitney Houston has had major World Tours ensuing the release of every of her major album and soundtracks (save for "Just Whitney" and "One Wish"), no live album has ever been released while the diva was still alive. It has taken her mentor Clive Davis and the president of Houston's estate Pat Houston two years after Houston's passing for a live album to surface. Arranged chronologically from her 1983 performance at the Merv Griffin Show to her final swan song in 2009 at Oprah, the album forms a broad arc of a biopic.
Here are Houston's album peak positions:
"Whitney Houston" (1985) Peak position on Billboard Top 200 Albums #1
"Whitney" (1987) Peak position on Billboard Top 200 Albums #1
"I'm Your Baby Tonight" (1990) Peak position on Billboard Top 200 Albums #3
