Whitney Houston songs that reached Top 50 (CHAMPIONSHIP)

[trustypepper]

The two songs that have dominated most of this tournament go head-to-head with a chance at being named Pulse's favorite Whitney hit. The 4th-biggest hit of 1987 in the United States, "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)" vs. one of the most recognizable songs in recent memory, "I Will Always Love You." Vote for your favorite by April 19 at 7 pm ET!


List of Winners:
-Katy Perry: E.T. (feat. Kanye West)
-Jennifer Lopez: Waiting for Tonight
-Kelly Clarkson: Behind These Hazel Eyes
-Britney Spears: Toxic
-Maroon 5: This Love
-Pink: Just Like a Pill
-Mariah Carey: Fantasy
-Justin Timberlake: Cry Me a River
-Shakira: She Wolf
-Whitney Houston: TBD (in progress)
-Carrie Underwood: TBD
-The Beatles: TBD


As previously announced, The Beatles have been added to the list. For some reason in the last round, I said that their tournament will begin this weekend. Apparently I forgot about Queen Carrie Underwood, who will actually be next (beginning either Sunday or Monday). The Beatles will then follow her.

If anyone is familiar with The Beatles and would be willing to count the exact number of Top 50 hits they recorded, please let me know either through this thread or via PM. I counted 54 myself, but I would greatly appreciate if someone could verify that for me to ensure we have the most accurate tournament possible. :)

It's 54 if you consider "Come Together" and "Something" as two separate #1s and not an A-/B-side flip.
Was looking for the Joel Whitburn Book of Charts but must have misled it (can't find it).

Thank you so, so much! I'll use 54 and consider those separately especially since those are two of their major hits. I really appreciate it!

Was hoping it'd be How Will I Know and IWDWSWLM in the end!

I Will Always Love You

[Deleted]

It feels so wrong to vote against "I Will Always Love You," but I prefer "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" by a landslide. Easily my favorite Whitney song.

[trustypepper]

"I Will Always Love You" has won Whitney Houston's poll in a VERY exciting tight race!

Carrie Underwood will begin tomorrow!

Thanks for participating everyone!

CARRIE UNDERWOOD!!! YES GAWDDDDDD :'(
