| An actor and a singer of pop and soul music, Whitney Houston broke a record previously held by the Beatles and the Bee Gees when she released seven consecutive number-one hits in 1987 and 1988. Houston began her career as a model, a guest actor on television series such as Gimme A Break, and a backup singer to acts such as Chaka Khan. Her second album, Whitney (1987), which produced the record string of number-one singles, also became the first album by a female artist to debut at number one on the American music charts. Houston acted in the 1992 movie The Bodyguard and also recorded songs for the movie’s popular soundtrack. | ||||||
