American singer Whitney Houston released 57 singles as a lead artist, 4 as a featured artist and 18 promotional singles. Nicknamed ''The Voice", she has sold more physical singles in the United States than any other female solo artist in history, according to the Recording Industry Association of America.[1] In the United States, Houston amassed 11 Billboard Hot 100 number one singles and remains the only artist to score seven consecutive number one singles.

After signing with Arista Records in 1983 at the age of nineteen, Houston's first single, "Hold Me", was released in 1984. That song was followed up in early 1985 by her first solo Billboard Hot 100 entry, "You Give Good Love", which went to number three on the chart. Her first number one single was "Saving All My Love for You", which was the third single released from her debut album. Following "Saving All My Love for You", Houston would release a back-to-back string of consecutive number one singles ("How Will I Know", "Greatest Love of All", "I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)", "Didn't We Almost Have It All", "So Emotional" and "Where Do Broken Hearts Go"). Following the latter's peak at number one, Houston set an all-time record for most consecutive number one singles with seven, besting the previous record first set by The Beatles in the 1960s and later matched a decade later by the Bee Gees. Houston's debut album was the first album to launch more than three number one singles, while her 1987 follow-up, Whitney, was the first female album to launch four number one singles, a record that would be held for 24 years.

Following the success of the number one US dance single, "Love Will Save the Day" and the 1988 Olympics theme song, "One Moment in Time", which hit number one on the US Adult Contemporary chart, the UK and Germany, Houston went towards an R&B direction with her third album, 1990's I'm Your Baby Tonight, which launched three top ten singles ("I'm Your Baby Tonight", "All the Man That I Need" and "Miracle") with the former two singles topping the Billboard Hot 100. With that accomplishment, Houston became the first artist in recording history to launch three or more top ten singles off their first three albums. In the middle of promoting the I'm Your Baby Tonight album, Houston performed the Star Spangled Banner at Super Bowl XXV in 1991. Following the critically-acclaimed performance, fans began requesting for the song on radio. As a result, Arista Records issued the recording as a single and it became the first time since the history of the Hot 100 in which a singer had charted with the national anthem, taking it to the top twenty, where it immediately went gold.

Houston's first soundtrack, 1992's The Bodyguard, launched three top five singles, including the number one smash, "I Will Always Love You", and the top five singles, "I'm Every Woman" and "I Have Nothing". "I Will Always Love You" is the best-selling physical single of all time by a female artist and was Diamond certified.[2] "I Will Always Love You" stayed atop the Billboard Hot 100 for a then-record setting 14 weeks. Shared with Mariah Carey's "We Belong Together", it remains the longest running number one single by a female solo artist. It continues to hold the record for most consecutive weeks at number one by a solo artist, shared by "We Belong Together" and Elton John's "Candle in the Wind '97". "Run to You", the fourth and final single from the soundtrack, peaked inside the top 40 while a house remix of "Queen of the Night", later topped the US Hot Dance Club Songs chart.

In 1995, Houston's single, "Exhale (Shoop Shoop)", from the soundtrack to her film, Waiting to Exhale, became only the third single in history to debut at number one on the Hot 100, followed by the top ten single, "Count On Me" and the top 30 single, "Why Does It Hurt So Bad". After two more top twenty singles off the soundtrack to The Preacher's Wife, Whitney released her first studio album in eight years, 1998's My Love is Your Love. The album launched five top forty singles on the Billboard Hot 100, including three top ten singles ("Heartbreak Hotel", "It's Not Right but It's Okay" and "My Love Is Your Love"). Four of the singles, including "I Learned from the Best", all topped the Dance Club Songs chart. When "My Love is Your Love" peaked at number four in January 2000, it made her the first artist who debuted in the 1980s to have had top ten singles in three consecutive decades.

In 2000, Houston issued her first greatest hits collection, Whitney: The Greatest Hits, which launched two UK top ten singles, "Could I Have This Kiss Forever" and "If I Told You That". The Deborah Cox-featured duet, "Same Script, Different Cast", was modestly successful in the United States, reaching number 70 on the Billboard Hot 100, but reaching number 14 on the US Hot R&B Singles chart and number three on the US Dance Club Songs chart. Following the September 11 attacks in 2001, Houston re-issued "The Star-Spangled Banner" with its sales donated to charities. The song would give Houston her 23rd and final top ten single of her lifetime, reaching number six on the Hot 100. The Houston rendition would later be certified platinum by the RIAA. Her 2002 studio album, Just Whitney, launched four charted singles on various Billboard charts, with the most successful of these singles being "One of Those Days", which reached number 72 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 29 on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and number one on the US Adult R&B Songs chart, and "Try It On My Own", which peaked at number ten on the Hot Adult Contemporary Songs chart. Three of the singles on the album also reached number one on the Hot Dance Club Songs chart. Her first and only Christmas-themed album, One Wish: The Holiday Album (2003), produced the top twenty adult contemporary charted single, "One Wish (For Christmas)", continuing her success on the adult contemporary charts. After a six-year sabbatical, Houston returned with her final studio album, 2009's I Look to You, which launched two Billboard Hot 100 charted singles, including the multi-charted title track, and the dance single, "Million Dollar Bill", which peaked at number one on the Dance Club Songs chart and Adult R&B Songs chart.

Following her death in 2012, Houston returned to the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time in a decade when her 1992 number-one hit, "I Will Always Love You", peaked at number three, making her one of a few artists to land a top ten single in four decades, joining Barbra Streisand, Madonna and Cher.[3] Her 1987 single, "I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)", also re-entered the top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100 at number 25 as did her 1986 single, "Greatest Love of All", which reached number 36. Not too long afterwards, her label RCA Records released the posthumous single, "Celebrate", which gave the singer her 45th entry in the R&B charts. In 2019, Houston returned to several international charts after dance remix producer Kygo released a remixed version of Houston's 1990 cover of the song "Higher Love". The song would reach number one on the US dance singles chart and number two on the UK Singles Chart, while also giving Houston her first new posthumous entry on the Billboard Hot 100 where it peaked at number 63, her highest-charted single there since "Could I Have This Kiss Forever". Following its peak at number one on the Hot Dance Club Songs chart, Houston became only one of three artists to have number one songs on the chart in four consecutive decades after Madonna and Janet Jackson. The single would later be certified double platinum in the United States and the United Kingdom.

Notes

  • A ^ "Hold Me" was originally released as a single from Teddy Pendergrass' album, Love Language, in the United States and some European countries such as Germany and the UK in 1984.[41][42] In the following year, the song was included on Houston's debut album and charted in the Netherlands and the UK in early 1986.
  • B ^ While "All at Once" was never released as the official single in the US except as a B-side of "Saving All My Love for You", the song was strategically selected as the lead single from her debut album in Benelux countries and Germany in early 1985, aiming for the adult-oriented market.[43] In Italy, the song was popular after Houston's performance for the song during 1987 Sanremo Music Festival, and then was released as the commercial vinyl single including "Hold Me" in that year.[44] In Japan, it was released as 3-inch snap pack single by BMG Victor on July 26, 1996 and peaked at number 42 at the Japanese Singles Chart in that year.[45][46]
  • C ^ In the UK, "Someone for Me (Remix)" was the first single from the Whitney Houston album, issued as a double A-side single with "Greatest Love of All" before the release of the album.[47]
  • D ^ "Thinking About You" was released as a 12-inch vinyl single featured its extended dance version in the US in October 1985, and also issued as a standard 45, but because it was only promoted to R&B radio, not pop radio, it never appeared on the Hot 100.[48][49][50]
  • E ^ "I Know Him So Well" was only released as a single in Australia, Germany, the Netherlands and Spain in late 1988.[51]
  • F ^ "Takin' a Chance", used as the theme song of Sanyo TV commercial, was released as a 3-inch CD single including "Love Is a Contact Sport" in Japan only on October 21, 1989. The single peaked at number 88 on the Japanese Singles chart.[46] The following year the song was also included on the Japanese edition of the I'm Your Baby Tonight album.[52]
  • G ^ "The Star Spangled Banner" was originally released as a commercial single on February 8, 1991 in the US. The single peaked at number 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles chart at the time, and was certified Gold by the RIAA on April 11, 1991. After the 9/11 attacks, the version was re-issued and reached a new peak of number six on the Hot 100 chart. Also, it was certified Platinum by the RIAA on October 3, 2001.
  • H ^ "We Didn't Know" was commercially released as a cassette single only in April 1992 and also the promotional CD maxi-single.[53][54]
  • I ^ "Heartbreak Hotel" was released as the second or third single from My Love Is Your Love in Australia, France, North America in 1999, but as the third single from Whitney: The Greatest Hits in Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and the UK between December 2000 and January 2001.
  • J ^ Both "Could I Have This Kiss Forever" and "Same Script, Different Cast" reached their peak positions on the Hot 100 with airplay points only. On descending the charts, the latter was commercially released as a 12-inch vinyl maxi-single while the former was not in the US.[55]
  • K ^ "Fine" was released as a promotional single for R&B radio only in the US. In Europe, the song was commercially issued as a CD maxi-single in November 2000.[56][57]
  • L ^ "Love That Man" was released as a commercial 12-inch vinyl maxi-single (double pack) only in the US on May 20, 2003.[58]
  • M ^ In Germany, "I Look to You" was released as a double A-side single with "Million Dollar Bill".[59]
  • N ^ "Stop the Madness" is the anti-drug anthem, produced Michael Stokes and written by Stokes, Tom Reid, Sharon Barnes and Lathan Armour, released as a 12-inch single featured its dance version by MCA Records in early 1986.[60]
  • O ^ "King Holiday" was released as a charity single in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, which was first celebrated as a national holiday in the United States on January 20, 1986. Houston contributed to the song as a part of all-star group, the King Dream Chorus and Holiday Crew.[61]
