RIAA: Whitney Houston Becomes First Black Artist To Have 3 Diamond Albums

*****

With the update, the ‘I Wanna Dance With Somebody’-led album – also famous for its Hot 100-topping singles ‘Didn’t We Almost Have It All,’ ‘So Emotional,’ and ‘Where Do Broken Hearts Go’ – has danced past the 20 million sold worldwide threshold.

Although Houston is the first African American to boast 3 Diamond albums to her credit, the ultra-rare feat is shared by a few other acts overall: Garth Brooks has 9 while the list of legendary acts with three or more Diamond albums to their credit includes The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Shania Twain and The Eagles.

For Houston fans, the win comes just a week before the songstress will finally be inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Queen! Every album of hers slays. Even the last album, I look to you. “Nothin but love” is one of my weekly bops. I miss nippy! But her legacy lives on!

She will never be forgotten by any generation. Whitney is up there w/ Elvis and The Beatles in terms of cultural impact. Even in death she is still one of the most relevant artists in music today. RIP Whitney 👸🏾🙏🏾

  Cuz his estate is utter trash. But when he does, it’s over for these heaux.
  Mom (WH) and Dad (MJ) will forever be the two greatest artists of all time.

    What’s the difference between Michael Jackson and acne? Acne doesn’t come on your face until you’re 13.
    When Michael Jackson was about to tour when he died, so his management had to cancel his first two dates: Timmy, 7 and Billy, 9.
    Calling Whitney a “heaux” results in these jokes.

They should release the album with “Moment of Truth” as an additional song.
