Whitney Houston makes another leap in the right direction, as her comeback album I Look to You debuts at #1 on the Billboard 200 this week, selling over 300,000 copies of her latest disc. This is Houston's biggest opening sales week since Soundscan first started tracking data in 1991, and her first #1 album since 1993's The Bodyguard Soundtrack.
This should be a pleasant surprise for the diva, since many industry experts predicted that she would sell around 250,000 copies in the album's first week. It should come as another surprise that it sold so well since neither of the two singles released, "Million Dollar Bill" and "I Look to You" are fairing that great on the charts.
But we'll take what we can get! This is the first sizable debut in a long time, and we all know that the music business needs as much good news as the can get!!
