America's Songtress - Whitney Houston dead at 48

Legendary pop singer Whitney Houston was found dead at the Beverly Hilton hotel in Beverly Hills, California this evening. The entertainer, whose incredible talent was discovered at an early age, was pronounced dead at 3:55 p.m. (6:55 p.m. ET) despite all resuscitation efforts.

Whitney Houston was among the A-list performers planning to attend veteran music mogul Clive Davis’ annual pre-Grammy party Saturday at the same hotel, the see-and-be-seen event of the year.

I'm at a loss for words right now. My prayers are with her family. Rest In Peace, Whitney.

Billboard has compiled Houston's top 20 Hot 100 singles, and    
unsurprisingly, "I Will Always Love You" tops the tally. It is     followed by the buoyant "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)," which was her
fourth of 11 career No. 1s on the list.

All 11 of her hits on presented on the recap (below) and also happen to comprise her entire top 11 singles on this  tally.
