Houston: We don't have any problems. Whitney Houston debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with "I Look to You." With its opening of 305,000, it gives the diva her fourth chart-topper and her best opening sales week since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking data in 1991 . . . Like a true diva, Whitney Houston returns to the Billboard 200 in grand style , as "I Look to You" becomes her fourth No. 1 album, debuting with 305,000. It's by far the singer's best opening sales week since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking data in 1991. Her previous best opening week, since 1991, came when 2002's "Just Whitney" bowed at No. 9 in the thick of the Christmas holiday shopping season with 205,000. "Look" is also her first chart-topper since the Houston-fueled "The Bodyguard" soundtrack wrapped up a 20-week run at No. 1 in 1993. "Look" and "Bodyguard" are joined by her two previous toppers: her self-titled set in 1986 and then "Whitney" in 1987. "I Look to You" is Houston's first No. 1-debuting album since, believe it or not, her 1987 sophomore set, "Whitney." The latter title was also the first album from a woman to debut at No. 1, and it did so on the Billboard 200 dated June 27, 1987. (Before the inclusion of SoundScan's sales tracking data in the compiling of the Billboard 200 in 1991, it was very rare for an album to debut at No. 1. All told, only six albums opened atop the chart before 1991.) -- SONY MUSIC 官方部落格 http://blog.pixnet.net/sonybmg Yahoo!家族 http://tw.club.yahoo.com/clubs/BMG_WestPop/ --
