People do not remember how many #1 songs Whitney had and they do not care. All they know is she had quite a few, was on top of her game during Bodyguard, is the voice behind IWDWS, IWALY and OMIT and some other tracks, and most importantly, had one of the greatest voices on this planet.

So what do you need to become a legend? Tons of singlesuccess? You definitely need some, but if you reached a certain level, u need more than that. U need universal acclaim and respect for ur craft, u need sth unique about u (like ur voice or performance quality or creativity or sth of that sort) and u need signature hits as well as eras that will last a lifetime. Also, signature performances are always good to have, moments with which people solely associate u with that event.
