Albums and singles are certified diamond once they have sold and streamed 10 million equivalent units in the United States, and is the same as going 10-times platinum.

This latest milestone is Whitney‘s fourth diamond certification. “I Will Always Love You” appears on The Bodyguard soundtrack, which has gone 18-times platinum. 1985’s Whitney Houston and 1987’s Whitney have also gone diamond.

However, “I Will Always Love You” is her first diamond single. She is the third female artist to have a diamond-status single as well as an album, alongside Mariah Carey and Taylor Swift.

The Bodyguard served as Whitney‘s film debut and “I Will Always Love You” hit No. 1 on the Hot 100 on Nov. 28, 1992. It spent 14 weeks at the top of the chart and sold 3.1 million copies, becoming the year’s best selling single in nine weeks.
