Description
Whitney Houston, often called 'The Voice,' holds a record that neither The Beatles nor Elvis Presley ever achieved. Between 1985 and 1988, Houston released seven consecutive number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100. The streak began with 'Saving All My Love for You' and concluded with 'Where Do Broken Hearts Go.' This remains the longest string of consecutive number-ones by any artist in history. Houston's incredible vocal power and crossover appeal made her a global icon, and her version of 'I Will Always Love You' for 'The Bodyguard' soundtrack became one of the best-selling singles of all time. Throughout her career, she received 28 Billboard Music Awards and 6 Grammys, cementing her legacy as one of the greatest singers in pop and R&B history.
