Whitney Houston I go to

Whitney Houston's Diamond-Platinum Sophomore Album Celebrates Its 35th Anniversary in Style: Mobile Fidelity's Numbered-Edition Hybrid SACD Gives Whitney the Red-Carpet Treatment. Sourced from the Original Master Tapes for Spectacular Sound: 1987 Blockbuster Plays with Newly Revealed Openness, Clarity, Air, Immediacy, Depth, and Detail.

Whitney Houston became an international star with this album. It sold more than ten million copies around the world, yielded a string of number one hit singles across the board like "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)," "Didn't We Almost Have It All," and "Love Will Save the Day," and established Houston as the era's top female star. She later went on to more than solidify that status, with other hit albums and a budding film career. While this is a far cry from soul, it's the ultimate in polished, super-produced urban contemporary material.

The double-disc 2011 U.K. collection The Essential Whitney Houston bears some strong similarities to the 2000 U.S. set The Greatest Hits, sharing 22 of its 35 songs. And it’s not just the big hits that overlap: there are a clutch of remixes that carry over, all bunched together on the second disc just like they are on The Greatest Hits. Consequently, The Essential Whitney Houston plays much like The Greatest Hits; even if it has a handful of songs not on the 2000 collection, it covers the same territory equally well and equally entertainingly.
