In days following her death, Whitney Houston's greatest hits album is projected to sell 50,000 units, which would earn her at least a Top 20 spot on the Billboard 200.
Pitted against Adele's juggernaut "21" and Van Halen's "A Different Kind of Truth" in its first week, "Whitney: The Greatest Hits" could tonight outsell both titles before Nielsen SoundScan's tracking closes for the week.
