"Crime is increasing
Trigger happy policing..." -- Marvin Gaye ("Inner City Blues")
there are incorrect calculations of daily streams, I don't know why
Cause Kworb is slower at updating Spotify stats than he is on YouTube's...and he still made some glaring errors on the YouTube side as herb pointed out when he didn't include Whitney's AMA 94 performance.

Whitney Houston’s ‘I Go to the Rock’ Debuts on Top Gospel Albums Chart
BY JIM ASKER
4/5/23
It's the late legend's first entry since 1996, and her second top 10.
Whitney Houston’s I Go to the Rock: The Gospel Music of Whitney Houston arrives at No. 2 on Billboard’s Top Gospel Albums chart dated April 8.
The set, released March 24, earned 4,000 equivalent album units in the tracking week ending March 30, according to Luminate.
The 14-track collection, which includes six previously unreleased songs, marks Houston’s second entry on the Top Gospel Albums chart. Her first faith-based LP, the soundtrack to the film The Preacher’s Wife, entered at No. 1 in December 1996 and proceeded to dominate the list for 26 frames. It has charted for 158 weeks and was most recently on the ranking this January.
Houston co-starred in the comedy-drama, which was directed by Penny Marshall, and whose cast also featured Denzel Washington and Courtney B. Vance (plus Lionel Richie).
I Go to the Rock comprises studio recordings and live performances. The six songs not available until now: “He Can Use Me,” “I Found a Wonderful Way,” “Testimony,” “This Day,” “He/Believe” and a live version of the Simon & Garfunkel classic “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” which ruled the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 for six weeks in 1970. Houston’s take on the ballad was recorded with gospel star CeCe Winans in June 1995 at a VH1 Honors special.
Houston, who passed away Feb. 11, 2012, at age 48, posted 11 No. 1s among 23 top 10s on the Hot 100. On the all-genre Billboard 200 albums chart, she has scored four No. 1s, among eight top 10s. The Preacher’s Wife generated one of those top 10 singles: the No. 4-peaking “I Believe in You and Me,” as well as the No. 15 hit “Step by Step” (written by Annie Lennox).
IWALY:Best of at 94 weeks has now surpassed Whitney:The Greatest Hits (92 weeks) as her 4th longest charting album in UK after Ultimate Collection, Whitney Houston and Whitney!!
Also, Officialcharts.com has reported the Best Of was the 17th best selling album in the UK in Quarter 1, 2023.
Youtube Statistics update as of 4/8/2023(from kworb), ranked by total view. There are some unknown rules how Kworb to capture the videos. Somehow "Medley: I Loves You, Porgy / And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going / I Have Nothing" was not included. It is clearly a music video. Therefore I added it manually. The number would not be exact to reflect 7 days total as the timing of the update is different day by day. It is still a good proxy view.
This is the total view of 96 videos. The total weekly view is 14.2 MM.
"Exhale" reached No.1, then it stayed in No.2 for 11 weeks? right? I still do not know exactly why that "Exhale" ranks lower. Is it due to the airplay and sales mix?
