The discography of Whitney Houston, an American R&B singer, consists of seven studio albums, four compilations, and three soundtrack albums, as well as fifty-three singles released.
In 1983, Houston signed a recording contract with Arista Records and began recording music for her self-titled debut album, which was released in February 1985. The album spent fourteen weeks at number one on the Billboard 200; a record for the most weeks at the top spot by a female artist of 1980s. It was certified 13× Platinum (Diamond) by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for shipments of over thirteen million copies in the United States, making her the first female artist to receive ten-time-platinum mark. It also has sold 25 million copies worldwide and became the best-selling debut album of all time by a female artist. In 1987, Houston released her second album, Whitney, and set remarkable chart records with it. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, becoming the first album by a woman in history. Moreover, the album spawned four US number-one singles, which established an unprecedented seven consecutive number one hits by a performer. It was certified 9× Platinum by the RIAA and topped the charts in numerous countries around the world, with worldwide sales of over 22 million copies. Houston's third studio album, I'm Your Baby Tonight (1990), peaked at number three on the Billboard 200 and sold 13 million units globally, being certified 4× Platinum by the RIAA.
The Bodyguard, the soundtrack from her film debut, was released in 1992. The album contains tracks by other recording artists but is considered a "Whitney Houston" album by the Billboard magazine and the RIAA. The album topped the Billboard 200 for twenty non-consecutive weeks, the longest tenure by any album on the Billboard 200 chart in the Nielsen SoundScan era. It was also reached the number one on the albums chart in almost all countries. The album was certified 17× Platinum (her second Diamond album) in the United States and sold over 44 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 for fourteen weeks and was certified 4× Platinum by the RIAA, making her the first and only female artist to reach the level. Like the soundtrack, the single peaked at number one on the charts in nearly every country and sold 12 million copies worldwide, becoming the best-selling single of all time by a female artist. After Houston contributed to three songs on the seven-time-platinum album, Waiting to Exhale Soundtrack (1995), she released her third film's accompanying gospel soundtrack, The Preacher's Wife in 1996. The soundtrack was certified three times Platinum by the RIAA and became the biggest selling gospel album of all time, with worldwide sales of 6 million units. In 1998, she released her first studio album in eight years, My Love Is Your Love. The album failed to match the chart records of her previous albums, peaking at number thirteen, her lowest chart position on the Billboard 200 among her studio albums. However, Houston went on to achieve multi-platinum status with it, being certified 4× Platinum in the United States.
Houston entered the 2000s with her first greatest hits compilation, Whitney: The Greatest Hits, released in 2000. The double-disc was certified 3× Platinum by the RIAA, recognizing 1.5 million shipments throughout the United States. The album reached the top ten in many worldwide markets, selling 10 million copies globally. After renewing her contract with Arista for a record $100 million in 2001, Houston released her second compilation album Love, Whitney (2001) outside the United States. In 2002, Just Whitney... became her fifth studio album. The album fail to earn multi-platinum status, receiving only Platinum award, and became her lowest-selling studio album to date. She released her first Christmas album, One Wish: The Holiday Album in 2003. The Ultimate Collection (2007), not released in the U.S., was Houston's third compilation album. In 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.
According to the RIAA, Houston is top-selling R&B female artist of the 20th century, and the fourth best-selling female artist in the United States, with shipments of 55 million albums. Whitney Houston is one of pop music's best-selling music artists of all-time, with more than 170 million combined albums, singles, and videos sold worldwide.[1][2]
