Whitney Houston’s I Will Always Love You has joined the 1 billion views club on YouTube.
The iconic Dolly Parton wrote the track in the 70s, but it was catapulted into the limelight in 1992, as part of the soundtrack for the film The Bodyguard
Perhaps the reason that “I Will Always Love You” has struck a chord with so many listeners through the years is that it has strikingly heartbreaking yet straightforward lyrics. It’s the explicit passion behind the words that make the song so timeless.
Now, the video for the song has officially hit 1 billion views, becoming the first 90s track performed by a solo artist to accomplish such a feat.
Other 90s hit to achieve the feat includes The Cranberries’ ‘Zombies’, Nirvana’s ‘Smell Like Teen Spirit and Guns N’ Roses’ November Rain’
