Took me a minute to figure out what song was missing. One Moment in Time peaked at #1 in 1988.

Interesting how many of her singles were less successful on the European chart than on the American one, with the exception of My Love Is Your Love #1
and especially Could I Have This Kiss Forever # 1.
What about her US hits missing from this list like How Will I Know, Greatest Love of All, All The Men That I Need, Didn't We Almost Have It All, Where Do Broken Hearts Go? I really don't think they failed to chart in Europe.Comment

Today, 34 years ago, Whitney made music and chart history when her single "Where Do Broken Hearts Go" peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. This not only became the fourth number one single from her diamond-selling sophomore release, Whitney, but also became her seventh consecutive number one single, beating a record that was held by the Beatles (1965-66) and the Bee Gees (1977-79), who each had six.
October 26, 1985: "Saving All My Love for You"
February 15, 1986: "How Will I Know"
May 17, 1986: "Greatest Love of All"
June 27, 1987: "I Wanna Dance (With Somebody Who Loves Me)"
September 26, 1987: "Didn't We Almost Have It All"
January 9, 1988: "So Emotional"
April 23, 1988: "Where Do Broken Hearts Go"
Despite the best efforts from the likes of Michael Jackson, Mariah Carey and Katy Perry, they never were able to match or break the record, each stopping at five consecutive number ones. Amazingly, Whitney held a 23-year record for most number ones on a single album by a female artist with four, a record tied at the time by Paula Abdul (Forever Your Girl), Carey (Mariah Carey) and Janet Jackson (Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814). The record was eventually beaten by Perry's Teenage Dream but while two of the songs featured other artists (Snoop Dogg and Kanye West), Houston's number ones were all solo (same with Carey and Janet Jackson).
Overall, these are the only albums who had more than four number ones off a single album:
Whitney Houston: Whitney (1987, 4 number ones)
Michael Jackson: Bad (1987, 5 number ones)
George Michael: Faith (1987, 4 number ones)
Paula Abdul: Forever Your Girl (1988, 4 number ones)
Janet Jackson: Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814 (1989, 4 number ones)
Mariah Carey: Mariah Carey (1990, 4 number ones)
Katy Perry: Teenage Dream (2010, 5 number ones)
Think there were three more albums who matched it but I'm running out of blanks lol
Even more fun facts:
"How Will I Know" replaced Dionne Warwick's "That's What Friends Are For" at number one, making Whitney the first artist to replace a famous relative off the top spot (Whitney & Dionne are cousins, just in case anyone is wondering but at this point, this should be a well known fact). And probably the only one to do (I don't remember Janet and Michael ever battling on the pop chart at the same time or Beyonce and Solange).
Up until the release of "I Will Always Love You", "Greatest Love of All" was Whitney's longest-running number one at 3 weeks. The song made her the first artist to land three consecutive number one hit singles off a single album. Not even MJ had accomplished this at the time (Thriller amazingly only had two number ones). Madonna didn't accomplish this either at first (Like a Virgin only had the title track top the chart despite the fact that Madonna had two number ones at the same time of Whitney's debut). But she finally matched it with True Blue.
"I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)" had one of the fastest rising climbs to number one. It debuted at number 38 on the Billboard Hot 100 and peaked at number one five weeks later. It was actually her fastest-rising single at the time (eclipsed by "I Will Always Love You").
"So Emotional" replaced George Michael's "Faith" at number one in January 1988.
"Didn't We Almost Have It All" has a peculiar history: back in 1986, Michael Jackson was working on his Bad album and had it in his mind to compose the love song, "I Just Can't Stop Loving You", as a star-studded duet between him and Whitney. Michael asked Clive Davis if he could have Whitney sing the song. Clive turned him down saying he didn't want Whitney to get over-saturated and overrated on the market. There was probably the fact that Michael was on CBS/Epic and Whitney was on Arista and the two companies were headed by rival heads Walter Yetnikoff and Clive Davis (both Davis and Yetnikoff worked on CBS together in the 1970s before Davis was kicked off the label). Jackson's "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" topped the Billboard Hot 100 in the week of September 19, 1987. Well the following week, it was taken down by none other than Whitney's "Didn't We Almost Have It All"! Talk about irony.
Happy 34th anniversary to a historic milestone!Last edited by BadMan125; Mon April 25, 2022, 00:34."Crime is increasing
