ALBUM CHART QUEEN: No woman led the Billboard 200 albums chart quite like Houston.
The Houston-led soundtrack to "The Bodyguard" stands as the longest-reigning album by a woman in the 56-year history of the survey.
Here is a look at the elite albums by solo females to have spent the most time atop the tally:
Weeks at No. 1, Title, Artist, Year Reached No. 1
20 weeks, "The Bodyguard" soundtrack/Whitney Houston, 1992
19 weeks, "21," Adele, 2011 (*currently at No. 1)
15 weeks, "Tapestry," Carole King, 1971
14 weeks, "Whitney Houston," Whitney Houston, 1986
13 weeks, "Judy at Carnegie Hall," Judy Garland, 1961
12 weeks, "Jagged Little Pill," Alanis Morissette, 1995
12 weeks, "Fearless, " Taylor Swift, 2008
11 weeks, "Mariah Carey," Mariah Carey, 1991
11 weeks, "Whitney," Whitney Houston, 1986
10 weeks, "Forever Your Girl," Paula Abdul, 1989
10 weeks, "The Singing Nun," the Singing Nun, 1963
Houston is the only woman to have tallied reigns of more than 10 weeks with multiple albums. While no other woman has more than one such set, Houston had three: "The Bodyguard" (20 weeks), "Whitney Houston"(14) and "Whitney" (11).
With Houston also leading for a week in 2009 with her last studio album, "I Look to You," her 46 total weeks at the Billboard 200 summit are the most among women.

ALWAYS BE LOVED: When Houston's remake of Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You" wrapped its 14-week run atop the Hot 100 in 1993, the song stood as the longest-leading title since the chart's Aug. 4, 1958, inception.
To-date, only Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men's "One Sweet Day" (16 weeks, 1995-96) has surpassed the reign (also matched by five other songs).
Said Parton, who wrote "Always," upon Houston's passing, "Mine is only one of the millions of hearts broken over the death of Whitney Houston. I will always be grateful and in awe of the wonderful performance she did on my song.
"I can truly say from the bottom of my heart, 'Whitney, I will always love you.'
"You will be missed."
