Whitney

Whitney is the second studio album by American singer Whitney Houston. It was released on June 1, 1987, by Arista Records. The follow-up to her debut album, production on the album aimed at reaching the same audience as her debut, which also mostly featured ballads and love songs while including several upbeat songs. Mostly produced by Narada Michael Walden and Michael Masser, with contributions from Kashif and John "Jellybean" Benitez, and featuring guest output from musicians such as Kenny G Roy Ayers and Premik Russell Tubbs, the album became an immediate hit upon its release. In the United States, the album became the first by a female artist in Billboard 200 history to debut at number one on the chart and the fifth album to accomplish this. It spent eleven weeks atop the chart, marking the first time since Stevie Wonder's Songs in the Key of Life that an album lingered atop the chart after its debut. Along with her debut topping the charts for 14 weeks, Houston set a 1980s chart record for a woman by accumulating 25 weeks at number one on the Billboard 200.
