Reaching the latter part of her career, the following singles are much weaker sellers. Just Whitney flopped hard due to the awful performances of its singles while the market of physical singles collapsed shortly after.
There are still several notable sellers within’ the Orphan category. The biggest of them is the 2-million seller Exhale (Shoop Shoop). In fact, if the Soundtrack isn’t credited to her, the single obviously is.

MJD, If Waiting To Exhale Soundtrack wasn’t included in Whitney’s Albums, can you still have study on it at least?
You mean to tell me she didn’t sell anything in africa. When she had 3 successful concerts in africa??
