It'd normally be a post-Grammy frenzy but this past week was marked by the sad news and posterior bittersweet chart comeback of a true legend and one of the greatest female vocalists in contemporary music. Much like with the passing of other musicians including
Michael Jackson,
Amy Winehouse or
Etta James, the unexpected death of
Whitney Houston has the music world going back to her biggest and most notorious hit songs, which nowadays represents a form of homage to an artist's legacy. So it comes to no surprise that this week's Digital Songs chart is led by one of her most memorable hit songs,
I Will Always Love You, which is this week's most downloaded song worldwide according to
iTunes. But that's just one of several songs she's being remembered by. The highest new entry this week is
I Have Nothing (#17), followed by
Greatest Love Of All (#19),
Saving All My Love (#29),
One Moment In Time (#31),
Where Do Broken Hearts Go (#94) and
All At Once (#98). Grammy-wise, it was a good week for
Katy Perry and her new single
Part Of Me entering at #30, followed by
Foo Fighters with
Walk coming at #55 and
Chris Brown's
Turn Up The Music at #59.

Not surprisingly,
Adele's big night at the Grammy's makes her album
21 take the #1 spot once again while her first album
19 re-enters the top ten at #9.
Bon Iver see their self-titled set re-enter at #61 as does
Skrillex with
Scary Monsters And Nice Sprites re-entering at #86. And there's more
Whitney Houston here with two of her compilations,
The Ultimate Collection and
Greatest Hits, sitting at #3 and #4 respectively, while her last studio album,
I Look To You, re-enters the top 100 at #45.
