Most often, it finds its place on mailing lists. Billboard charts – at least one – as people continue to buy and stream the hits that made her one of the most famous singers of all time.

This week, Houston takes a special step forward on the Billboard graphics. Even several years after her death, she is still reaching new heights and achieving impressive feats, which is just like the star.

I Will Always Love You: The Best of Whitney Houston has spent 200 weeks on the Billboard 200, to date. This set marks the first time that the singer has reached this number of spins in the ranking of the most consumed albums in the United States

This week, I will Always Love You drops slightly in the Billboard 200. The compilation slides from 168th to 175th place, although such moves are not uncommon among titles that have spent years on the list, and it will likely bounce back soon.

According to Luminate, the stock lost just over 1% in total consumption, which is also common. The project managed to sell over 700 copies in the same time frame, which is a notable amount.
