Whitney logically should have been the most successful female artist ever in the US by all metrics, and that she's not disappoints me just a little.
I Have Nothing > every career
This is kinda true, Mariah has better bops in my opinion but ballad-wise none of her songs have ever come close to the level of IWALY or I Have Nothing
Yup. I still can't believe it went #1 on Hot Digital Songs in 2005.
+ The ringtone has sold over 1 million copies in US (ringtones cost the same as digital downloads in US). It's past 4M in US with that.
& the album has done 5.3M off of it.

Mariah has some AMAZING songs, both old and new (You're Mine anyone? no? okay ) but I Have Nothing gets me on a deep, visceral level.
