Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" reenters top 10 of Billboard's Hot 100 chart

As you all know by now, one of the most famous, beloved singers of all time – Whitney Houston – passed away unexpectedly on Saturday, February 11, 2012 in her Beverly Hills hotel room. Although there is speculation that the 48-year-old’s death was due to a combination of drugs and alcohol, no official cause of death has been confirmed. But does it even matter how she died? Fans of the six-time Grammy-winning, 170-million-album-selling artist don’t seem to think so. When the news broke on Saturday, people began to flock to her discography. As a result, 195,000 digital copies of the best-selling single of all time by a female artist, Houston’s “I Will Always Love You,” have been purchased in the past week. Those sales, combined with a huge presence on the radio, have propelled the song back into the top 10 of Billboard’s Hot 100 singles chart for the first time since 1993. It currently sits at No. 7, while two of Houston’s other songs, “I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)” and “Greatest Love Of All,” sit at Nos. 35 and 41, respectively. She may be gone, but Ms. Houston’s music will certainly live on forever.
