Whitney Houston Posthumously Returns To Several Billboard Charts

In the years since Whitney Houston passed away in 2012, the legendary musician has continued to chart well on the weekly Billboard rankings. Americans still love the music she released during her lifetime, and they haven’t stopped listening since her death. This frame, the beloved artist is back on a pair of Billboard charts with one of her most successful releases.

Houston returns to two Billboard charts this week with her I Will Always Love You: The Best Of Whitney Houston compilation. That title reappears on two tallies now that the dozens of Christmas-related albums have fallen out of favor and been removed from the weekly rankings for another year.

I Will Always Love You: The Best Of Whitney Houston is back on the Billboard 200 this week at No. 136. The set moved just under 9,000 equivalent units in the prior tracking period, according to numbers shared by Luminate.

As of this week, I Will Always Love You: The Best Of Whitney Houston is now tied as Houston’s longest-charting title on the Billboard 200. The set has racked up 176 weeks on the tally as it returns. The compilation is now on the same level as her own self-titled effort, which has managed to hold on for the same number of frames.

I Will Always Love You: The Best Of Whitney Houston doesn’t only hit the Billboard 200 this week, as the compilation is also back on the Top R&B Albums chart. That tally uses the same methodology as the Billboard 200, but it looks only at titles classified as R&B by Billboard. This week, Houston’s greatest hits set appears at No. 19 on the roster.

Both the Billboard 200 and Top R&B Albums charts featured quite a lot of Christmas music last week. Americans stream so much holiday music, they sent collections across genres that focus on the season onto these tallies and many others. The charts this week are representative of the first tracking period in a while that saw Christmas works fall away, so there’s more room for non-yuletide cuts and albums—such as Houston’s beloved compilation.
