Tusk Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 The Bodyguard: 5 songs with male leads Rumours: 3 songs with male lead and one duet. 31 weeks at number one. Christine and Stevie deserve better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christine and Stevie deserve better. Yeah Rumours would have been at #1 but nobody really counts this album in when talking about female stats. And The Bodyguard is carried so hard by I Will Always Love You. Its the only reason people bought it and was marketed with Whitney Houston's name as a soloist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What faulty logic anyway, ADELE and Whitney queens of longevity ? Whitney's version is on the Bodyguard so why should it be credited to Dolly? What are you even talking about. The Bodyguard is a Whitney Houston album and everybody on the world agrees with this. Which is why when she won AOTY she was the only one taking the thropy home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnusualBoy Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 21 with 24 weeks is still insane till this day, I doubt that number will be passed anytime soon by a female or male, the closest we've had nowadays has been Dangerous with 10 weeks and the other awful album with 13 weeks.

chaklux Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 21 is on another level. The fact that it was all organic. No discounted multiple versions released after the initial release just to secure extra number ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
