Whitney Houston lands posthumous Guinness World Record

Washington: Whitney Houston has achieved a posthumous entry into the Guinness Book of World Records for the most simultaneous hits on the U.K. singles chart by a Solo Female.

The tragic diva was given the accolade after 12 of her tracks entered the chart in Britain following her death in February, a website has reported. This honour was previously bestowed upon late singer Amy Winehouse, following her death last year in July. The feat has been made possible by her loyal fans, who flocked to buy the superstar`s back catalogue in the days after her bathtub death in a suite at the Beverly Hilton hotel in Los Angeles on 11th February.
