Last week's sales figures have revealed that Whitney Houston has scored her first platinum album in seven years with her latest release, I Look to You.
The album has moved more than 1 million copies in the U.S. since its debut on August 28, enough to earn Houston the coveted RIAA distinction.
I Look to You debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart back in August, selling 305,000 copies. The project gave Houston her first number one album since 2002's Just Whitney, which moved 205,000 copies.
The singer is currently planning her first world tour in 11 years in support of the album.
"This is my first full tour since the My Love Is Your Love tour and I am so excited to be performing for my fans around the world after all this time," she wrote on her website. "I am putting together a great show and cannot wait to perform the songs from my new album I Look to You along with some of your favorites."
In other news, Houston did not receive a single nomination for the 2010 Grammy Awards. The issue is making headlines, as many industry minds believe she was snubbed.
