Billboard's #1's (1980s) - What Whitney Houston recording was the first album of new material to reach Number One the week it was released?
The correct answer is 'Whitney'
Sometimes I think the only reason we didn't see more Whitney Houston albums is because she ran out of titles. After naming her first two LP's after herself, she must have been relieved when "The Bodyguard" came along so she wouldn't have to call her next one something crazy, like "Houston". That being said, no artist ever provided more bang for the buck. With just these three albums, Whitney spent an amazing 45 weeks at the top of the Billboard 200. By comparison, The Beatles and Elvis Presley averaged a measley 7.6 and 7.1 weeks at the top per album, respectively.
