Whitney Houston - The Bodyguard

Whitney Houston sang all of the R&B, Soul, and Pop songs on the Bodyguard album, which was released in 1992. The film is one of the finest music films ever made, which helped boost the soundtrack's sales. It featured several incredible singles that are still being played on the radio today. This album received the Grammy Award for Album of the Year and was certified 18 times platinum. It was accompanied over the course of a year by six singles, all of which did exceptionally well, particularly "I Will Always Love You," which was penned by Dolly Parton.

According to SoundScan, this was the first album to sell over a million copies in a single week. Several songs were considered for the "big one," but Kevin Costner eventually suggested Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You." It was a wise decision since it was one of the best-selling singles of all time.
