On January 19, 2010, Arista Records/Legacy Recordings will release the 25th Anniversary Edition of Whitney Houston, the astonishing debut album that catapulted a virtually unknown young artist into the upper reaches of pop superstardom in 1985.

'The Whitney Houston - 25th Anniversary Edition' CD/DVD package includes the international chart-topping original Arista album - remastered in its entirety for the 25th anniversary - along with five bonus tracks including Whitney's a cappella recording of "How Will I Know" plus a stunning live performance of "Greatest Love of All."

As an added bonus for fans, the 25th Anniversary Edition of Whitney Houston includes a new DVD collection featuring the four iconic music videos from the album as well as her breakout national TV debut singing "Home" (from The Wiz) on the Merv Griffin Show in 1983. The bonus DVD portion of the 'The Whitney Houston - 25th Anniversary Edition' collection features exclusive interviews with Whitney Houston and Clive Davis.

Released in 1985, 'Whitney Houston' entered The Billboard 200 chart with singles like "You Give Good Love," "Saving All My Love For You," "How will I know" and "Greatest Love of All." The album sold more than 25 million copies worldwide.

'Whitney Houston' topped countless critic's polls and year-end lists including Rolling Stone, who named it 1986's Album of the Year. Billboard ranked 'Whitney Houston' as the #1 album of the year and Whitney Houston 1986's #1 popular artist.

"I cannot believe it has been 25 years since my first album!," writes Whitney Houston in her exclusive letter to fans appearing in the packaging for the 25th anniversary release of her debut. "I could never have done this without the support, encouragement and unconditional love from my fans all over the world. I love you all!"

Since the release of her 1985 self-titled debut album, Whitney Houston has built and sustained an illustrious career, generating combined worldwide sales of more than 170 million albums, singles and videos. Cited by the Guinness Book of World Records as music's "most awarded female artist of all time," with an unsurpassed tally of 411 awards -- including 6 Grammy Awards, 2 Emmy Awards, 23 American Music Awards and 16 Billboard Music Awards -- Whitney Houston remains a singular force in music today.
