Three of Whitney Houston's best known singles soared back
into Britain's top 40 pop chart yesterday following her death
in a California hotel room.
Houston's version of the Dolly Parton ballad "I Will Always
Love You" entered the weekly rundown at number 14, while "I
Wanna Dance with Somebody" was in 20th place.
"One Moment in Time", a song Houston recorded for the 1988
Olympics in South Korea, was a new entry at number 40,
according to the Official Charts Company, which compiles the
list.
A collection of Houston's greatest hits entered the album
chart at number seven.
Houston was found dead in a hotel in Beverly Hills on
Saturday, Feb. 11. The cause of death has yet to be
determined. Her funeral service was held on Saturday in
Newark, New Jersey.
The chart's compiler said earlier in the week that 27 of her
singles had climbed into the top 200. The deaths of Michael
Jackson and Amy Winehouse led to similar dramatic increases
in record sales.
The number one spot on the UK singles chart was claimed by
English producer DJ Fresh with his new single "Hot Right
Now".
