Whitney Houston is the debut studio album by American singer Whitney Houston, released on February 14, 1985, by Arista Records. Whitney Houston initially had a slow commercial response, but began getting more popular in mid-1985. It eventually topped the Billboard 200 for fourteen weeks in 1986, generating three number-one singles—"Saving All My Love for You", "How Will I Know" and "Greatest Love of All"—on the Billboard Hot 100, which made it both the first debut album and the first album by a solo female artist to produce three number-one singles in the United States. The album topped the albums charts in many countries, including Canada, Australia, Norway, and Sweden, while peaking at number 2 in the United Kingdom, Germany, and Switzerland. The album was certified Diamond for sales of ten million units or more on January 25, 1994, and later 14× Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America on January 27, 2023. The album is the best-selling debut album by a solo artist, best-selling R&B album by a woman, and is also one of the best selling albums of all time, with sales of over 25 million copies worldwide.
