Whitney Houston contributed three songs to the soundtrack of her second film, Waiting To Exhale — the #1 Billboard Hot 100 single “Exhale (Shoop Shoop)” and the hits “Count On Me” and “Why Does It Hurt So Bad.” The movie opened at #1 in North America and its success sparked a wave of black ensemble films that followed. Whitney personally selected the artists who appeared on the soundtrack. The album hit #1 on the Billboard 200 chart and has sold more than 12 million copies worldwide.

Producers: Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, Whitney Houston, Clive Davis
