MUCH ‘LOVE’ (AND ‘LUV’): Just as they did during the ’80s and ’90s, Whitney Houston and Madonna again share space in the Billboard Hot 100’s top 10.
With late legend Houston’s “I Will Always Love You” returning to the tally at No. 7 and Madonna’s “Give Me All Your Luvin’,” featuring Nicki Minaj and M.I.A., rising 13-10, Houston and Madonna concurrently rank in the top 10 for the first time in more than 16 years.
The pair last charted in the top tier together the week of Jan. 27, 1996, when Houston’s former No. 1 “Exhale (Shoop, Shoop)” held at No. 2 (for the ninth of its 11 frames at the runner-up spot after its lone week at the summit) and Madonna’s “You’ll See” rebounded 10-8 after peaking at No. 6.
Over their iconic careers, the twosome held court in the top 10 together with multiple sets of prior hits.
