Houston was at a pinnacle. In 1993, The Bodyguard soundtrack stayed at No. 1 on Billboard’s pop album charts for 20 weeks and sold 18 million copies, more than 1977’s Bee Gees-heavy Saturday Night Fever or Prince’s1984 Purple Rain.
It remains in 2022, the No. 1 bestselling soundtrack of all time.
The Bodyguard soundtrack broke the single-week sales record — 770,000 —held by Guns ‘n’ Roses’ 1991 Use Your Illusion II.Bodyguard is the first album in history to sell one million copies — in one week.
The soundtrack has 12 songs. Six of them are Whitney’s. One of them is “I Will Always Love You,” America’s No. 1 song for 14 weeks in a row — a No. 1 hit in almost every country that keeps track.
Whitney said to me that Bodyguard changed her life, and wrecked her marriage.
