Album Notes: The album features five top 10 hits on the US Billboard Hot 100, which also became international hits. The album’s first four singles—”I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)”, “Didn’t We Almost Have It All”, “So Emotional” and “Where Do Broken Hearts Go”—all peaked at number one on the US Hot 100, making her the first female act to achieve four number one hits from one album. Along with three straight number one singles from Houston’s previous album, this gave the singer an unprecedented seven consecutive number one hits, surpassing the Beatles and the Bee Gees, who each had six number one consecutive hits.
