How many copies of 'The Bodyguard' soundtrack have been sold worldwide?

The Bodyguard soundtrack has sold about 45 million copies worldwide, making it one of the most successful albums in recording history.

Released on November 17, 1992, the album served as the soundtrack to the film starring Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner. Although it included songs by several artists, Houston performed most of the tracks and was its central creative force.

Its extraordinary sales were driven by Houston's version of Dolly Parton's “I Will Always Love You,” which became a worldwide No. 1 hit. The soundtrack also produced successful singles such as “I'm Every Woman,” “I Have Nothing,” “Run to You,” and “Queen of the Night.”

The album topped charts in more than 20 countries and was certified Diamond in the United States. A common mix-up is confusing the soundtrack's worldwide figure with its U.S. shipments, which exceeded 19 million. The widely cited worldwide total is generally stated as 45 million or more.
