VIDEO: Whitney Houston's Million Dollar Bill

Whitney Houston Album Debuts At #1

Whitney Houston returned to the top of the Billboard 200 Album charts with the debut of her latest release I Look To You at #1, her fourth album to do so.

"I Look To You" becomes Houston's fourth No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart, selling 304,801 copies during the week ended September 6, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

It's by far Houston's best opening sales week since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking data in 1991.

"I Look To You" is also the singer's first chart-topper since the Houston-fueled "The Bodyguard" soundtrack spent 20 weeks at No. 1 in 1993. The albums are joined by Houston's two previous toppers: her self-titled set in 1986, and her 1987 sophomore set, "Whitney."

Early returns showed "I Look To You" also debuted at No. 1 in Canada, Germany, Italy, and Switzerland, according to her Arista Records label.

Houston's previous album, "Just Whitney," debuted at No. 9 in 2002 with 205,000 copies.

Go, Whitney! I haven't bought the album yet, what do you all think of it?

Now, you know the gay boys will be fighting over this list all during Thanksgiving, but did they really need to list Miss Whitney Houston at #34 and Miss Mariah Carey at #79?

Who would you put in your Top 10? This is their list:

1 Aretha Franklin by Mary J. Blige
2 Ray Charles by Billy Joel
3 Elvis Presley by Robert Plant
4 Sam Cooke by Van Morrison
5 John Lennon by Jackson Browne
6 Marvin Gaye by Alicia Keys
7 Bob Dylan by Bono
8 Otis Redding by Booker T. Jones
9 Stevie Wonder by Cee-Lo
10 James Brown by Iggy Pop

First of all, how could they forget the recently deceased Yma Sumac?
