 Rolling Stone : The Bodyguard : Review
With 1,061,000 copies sold in a week and five simultaneously Number One positions on the Billboard charts, The Bodyguard's soundtrack is one of the fastest-selling albums and sports one of the fastest-selling singles in music-industry history.
But if her producers are onto the tumbling act, they can create first-rate R&B, as does Narada Michael Walden (with Clivilles and Cole) on the Ashford and Simpson boast "I'm Every Woman," with "vocal arrangement inspired by Chaka Khan," meaning Houston has fun with a song for once.
The Bodyguard is nothing more than pleasant, tasteful and urbane, but for a phenomenon, it's worthy of its numbers.

Not that the film itself was a phenomenon -- it was a healthy success, due not only to Houston but to her co-star Kevin Costner's drawing power -- but the soundtrack's success was astonishing.
Like many phenomena of that magnitude, it's hard to see, in retrospect, what triggered such a massive public response.
It may seem odd that a soundtrack is Houston's biggest-selling album to date, but consider this -- even her best records had five or six great songs surrounded by well-constructed filler; the same is true here, only the filler is recorded by other artists.

The soundtrack for Glitter is set to be released in a couple of weeks.
But outselling the Bodyguard is the stuff of dreams anyway, and would be an astonishing feat for any artist--even Celine.
