All vikisThe Bodyguard Soundtrack
Official: The album on Apple Music
The Bodyguard soundtrack (1992) in full, all 12 tracks from I Will Always Love You to Trust in Me, 53 minutes, each playing from its first second, under two measured highlights. Certified 19 times Platinum, the highest figure of any album on this viki.
We rate The Bodyguard soundtrack S tier, and we think it is really a Whitney Houston album with a short compilation attached: her six songs come first and fill 26 minutes 51 seconds, and the six by other artists that follow are there for the film. By our rule it clears both bars for S with room to spare. Its sales award went up again as recently as Jun 25, 2025, to 19 times Platinum, more than any other album on this viki has (RIAA, read Nov 11, 2026). And its songs are still on stage: The Bodyguard, the musical that had its world premiere at the Adelphi in London's West End, began a UK and Europe tour at the Alexandra in Birmingham on Sep 20, 2025, by then seen by more than 3.9 million people in 15 countries (BroadwayWorld, Dec 12, 2024).
This is I Will Always Love You, the opening track, which won Record of the Year and the female pop vocal award at the Grammys in 1994, the night the album won Album of the Year (grammy.com). Arista's release came on Nov 17, 1992 (Apple Music); its dozen tracks last 52 minutes 37 seconds on YouTube.
One week to No. 1
No song-led album here started higher. It came onto the Billboard 200 at No. 2 on Dec 5, 1992, took the top spot a week later, Dec 12, and was still there four weeks on, as the Jan 2, 1993 list shows.
The other six
After Houston's six songs come Kenny G with Aaron Neville, Lisa Stansfield, S.O.U.L. S.Y.S.T.E.M., Curtis Stigers, Alan Silvestri and Joe Cocker with Sass Jordan. Silvestri's Theme from The Bodyguard is the album's only piece of the film's score and its shortest track at 2:43; Jesus Loves Me, sung by Houston, is the longest at 5:13.
Highlights
Two moments, both measured by Vi.ki on Nov 11, 2026 and neither picked by ear (the home page says how). They are the only two climaxes on the album that clear the 6-decibel bar. The one in I Will Always Love You, at 3:09, stands 8.6 decibels above the song's middle loudness, a margin only The Lion King's score tracks beat among the song-led albums. Silvestri's theme, an orchestral piece, has the other.
| Track | Play | Title | Highlight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | I Will Always Love You | The climax, the biggest swell of the album | |
| 11 | Theme From The Bodyguard | The climax |
All tracks
In the album's order. Arista, its label, uploaded eleven of these. Its copy of Trust in Me, the closing track, now plays nowhere, so a listener's upload stands in, from the channel Thiagozaiko, online since Nov 30, 2011. Every row is a separate video, so Play opens each at 0:00.
