Whitney Houston Earns First Hot 100 Debut in 10 Years With Kygo Collab 'Higher Love'

Whitney Houston charts her first posthumous debut on the Billboard Hot 100, as "Higher Love" with Kygo enters at No. 63.

The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming, radio airplay and digital sales data. 

The remake also enters the Hot Dance/Electronic Songschart (which employs the same methodology as the Hot 100) at No. 2.

It also launches at No. 4 on the all-genre Digital Song Sales survey with 24,000 first-week downloads sold, according to Nielsen Music, while sporting 6.6 million U.S. streams and 1.3 million airplay audience impressions.

I cackled.

I don't know if the word "collab" is the right term here

[Shipper 13,077]

So in instances like this when the original singer has passed away, the company or person who holds her masters could decide who uses the songs she previously recorded?

Is that how it works?

[FfFfFfFF 55,696]

I don't how to react. The fact that she can chart after she passed away is impressive but the the conditions in which this happened... 

[Andreu 37,216]

But this was a song that was already recorded and released in a japan edition or something, if I'm not wrong. Kygo remixed it and instead of releasing as: WH - Higher Love (Kygo remix) they went for the title that would bring more attention

If it's true it's somehow less bad but is still shady. The song is being presented as a new track.

Well for obvious reasons nothing is truly new anymore from Whitney sadly

[Delusional 9,221]

Wow, the disrespect in this thread is disgusting 

[Curunir 7,510]

She deserves that #1 as well if you ask me
