In at #2, 6 and 9 respectively are ‘Whitney: The Greatest Hits‘, ‘The Bodyguard’ and ‘Whitney Houston‘, making Whitney the first woman in Billboard history to have three albums in the top ten at the same time.

For, in a bid to capitalize on the renewed interest in her discography, major retailers have begun stocking her music this week to drive physical sales up, as most of her sales last week were generated digitally.
