Those Zany Charts …

If any artist could be likened to Adebisi from Oz in the sense they absolutely owned the yard anytime they stepped out to flex their muscle during the period after their arrival on the scene, well, it is definitely Whitney Houston between 1985 and 1988. In those three years she released seven consecutive #1 singles. Count ‘em, #1, #1, #1, #1, #1, #1, #1. What Whitney touched turned to gold or even platinum during these three years.

1985 - Saving All My Love for You
1986 - How Will I Know
1986 - Greatest Love of All
1987 - I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)
1987 - Didn’t We Almost Have It All
1988 - So Emotional
1988 - Where Do Broken Hearts Go

Laugh if you want, but you don’t achieve that degree of singles chart dominance unless A LOT of people really love what you’re spinning. That’s only one of the diva’s chart accomplishments. They could fill weeks of Those Zany Charts ….

But, for my money, as much fun as Houston’s mid-to-late-80s pop classics are and as soulful as many of the early-90s singles are, nothing beats the mature and lovely Whitney presented by “My Love Is Your Love”. She’s simply sweet, smooth, and confident. All her many trials and tribulations aside, that’s the Whitney we can fall in love with.
