Houston entered the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 at the #1 position with “Exhale”, becoming only the third single in U.S. history to enter at number one and Houston’s eleventh and to date last number one single on the Billboard Hot 100. It stayed at number-one for just one week as Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men’s duet “One Sweet Day” debuted at the summit the next week. This in turn led to “Exhale” settling into the number-two position where it resided for eleven weeks, becoming the single with the longest stay at number two on the U.S. Hot 100 in Billboard history. The single was certified platinum, and remained in the Top 40 for twenty weeks.
