Prior to the introduction of digital singles, Houston sold 16.5 million physical singles in the country, the most ever by a female recording artist.[1] In October 2012, the Official Charts Company claimed Houston was the fourth biggest-selling female singles artist of all time with a sales total of 8.5 million singles in that country.[2][3]

Houston's first entry on the US Billboard Hot 100 was "Hold Me", which peaked at number 46 in 1984. Her debut album, Whitney Houston (1985), contained four top ten singles, including "You Give Good Love" and "Saving All My Love for You", with the former peaking at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 in July 1985 and the latter becoming her first number one single on the Billboard Hot 100 later that October. The two singles later were certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America for one million equivalent sales units each, while its two follow-up singles, "How Will I Know", and "Greatest Love of All", each received multi-platinum plaques for sales equivalent units of 2 million copies. When the latter two followed "Saving All My Love for You" to number one, Houston became the first female artist to have three singles from the same album reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100. In 1987, Houston released her sophomore album, Whitney. Its leading single, "I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)", topped the charts in 17 countries, including the United States. The single sold more than 7 million copies in the United States and 1.8 million copies in the United Kingdom. It was immediately followed by three more hit singles, "Didn't We Almost Have It All", "So Emotional" and "Where Do Broken Hearts Go", all of whom also topped the Billboard Hot 100. Houston set an all-time record after the latter song reached number one when she became the only recording artist in history to produce seven consecutive number one singles in a row.[4]
Houston released the Seoul Summer Olympics theme song, "One Moment in Time", which hit the top-five in the United States and hit number one in Europe. Houston's third release, I'm Your Baby Tonight (1990), produced three top-ten singles on the Billboard Hot 100, including the chart-topping singles, "I'm Your Baby Tonight" and "All the Man That I Need", which made her the first female solo artist to produce multiple number-one singles off three or more albums. Houston's rendition of the "Star Spangled Banner" (1991) at Super Bowl XXV was immediately released as a single and marked the first time the American national anthem hit the top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100. Over a decade later, the same song was re-released following the September 11 terrorist attacks in 2001 and re-peaked at number six, making it the only version of the national anthem to reach the top ten.
In 1992, Houston released her first soundtrack to her first feature film, The Bodyguard. The album produced three top-ten singles on the Billboard Hot 100, including "I Will Always Love You", which topped the charts in over 25 countries, including the United States, where it topped the charts for a then-record fourteen weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 and, remains the longest running consecutive number one single by a solo artist, eventually selling 10 million copies in the United States,[5] and 1.6 million copies in the United Kingdom. Its follow-up singles, "I'm Every Woman" and "I Have Nothing", followed it to the top-five. On the week of March 11, 1993, Houston became the first artist of the Nielsen SoundScan era to have three singles simultaneously chart in the top eleven with the aforementioned Bodyguard singles. In 1995, Houston recorded three songs for the soundtrack to her second feature film, Waiting to Exhale. The soundtrack launched her last number-one single of her lifetime, "Exhale (Shoop Shoop)" as well as the top ten duet, "Count on Me". A year later, Houston released the soundtrack to The Preacher's Wife (1996), which launched two more hit singles, the top five ballad, "I Believe in You and Me" and the international hit, "Step by Step".
In 1998, Houston returned with her first studio album in eight years, My Love Is Your Love, which produced five top-forty singles, including three top-ten singles: "Heartbreak Hotel", "It's Not Right but It's Okay" and "My Love Is Your Love". Her 2000 compilation, Whitney: The Greatest Hits, launched four new singles, including the number one European hit, "Could I Have This Kiss Forever", with Enrique Iglesias. Two years later, Houston released her fifth studio album, Just Whitney (2002), which produced three Billboard Hot 100 charting singles: "Whatchulookinat", "One of Those Days" and "Try It on My Own". Her 2003 Christmas album, One Wish: The Holiday Album, produced the top twenty adult contemporary hit, "One Wish (For Christmas)". After a six-year break from the recording studio, Houston released her seventh and final studio album, I Look to You (2009), which produced the charting singles, "I Look to You", "Million Dollar Bill" and "I Didn't Know My Own Strength". Following Houston's death in 2012, sales of Houston's albums and singles soared. On the week of March 3, 2012, four of Houston's previous singles: "I Will Always Love You", "I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)", "Greatest Love of All" and "How Will I Know", reached the upper echelons of the Billboard Hot 100 with the latter three reaching the top-40, with "I Will Always Love You" re-peaking at number three, making Houston one of a few artists to land a single in the top ten for four or more decades.[6][7]
