Billboard: Whitney Houston Debuts Atop Euro Chart
Whitney Houston mirrors
her Billboard 200 success with a No. 1 debut on European Top 100 Albums with
her comeback set "I Look To You" (Arista/RCA/Sony Music Entertainment).
There's also a new champion on European Hot 100 Singles, where David Guetta
scores his second No. 1 in less than two months with "Sexy Chick" (Gum/Positiva/Virgin/EMI),
featuring Akon.
Houston was last on the pan-European survey at the end of 2007 with Arista's
"Ultimate Collection," which reached No. 10. The 2002 ballads retrospective
"Love, Whitney" reached only No. 44, while 2000's "The Greatest Hits" made
No.2. Houston's last studio album, 1998's "My Love Is Your Love," reached
No. 1 during an epic 67-week run on the European survey, and was certified
for shipments of three million units across the region. "I Look To You"
posts best-selling starts in Germany and Italy, other arrivals including No.
2 in Sweden and No. 3 in France. The set is out in the U.K. on Oct. 19.
