]]>According to its official logline, I Wanna Dance with Somebody chronicles Houston’s journey from New Jersey choir girl to one of the best-selling and most-awarded recording artists of all time, in this no-holds-barred portrait of the complex and multifaceted woman.
The first trailer takes us on a journey through Houston’s trailblazing life and career and features some of her most iconic hits, including the song it was named after. One of the trailer’s pivotal moments is Houston’s meeting with her former record producer Clive Davis (Stanley Tucci), who serves as one of the film’s producers.
In addition to Ackie and Tucci, I Wanna Dance with Somebody also stars Ashton Sanders as the singer’s husband Bobby Brown, Tamara Tunie and Clarke Peters her parents, and Nafessa Williams as Robyn Crawford, Houston’s former assistant and creative director.
I Wanna Dance with Somebody was directed by Harriet’s Kasi Lemmons and scripted by Bohemian Rhapsody’s Anthony McCarten. It will be released by Sony Pictures on December 21.

]]>This record was previously shared by Swift and Whitney Houston, who both had a total of 46 albums atop the Billboard 200, but that’s no longer the case as Swift broke Houston’s record. The Beatles still hold the all-time record, with 132 weeks at the top spot.
Folklore was released on July 24th, debuting at no. 1 with the biggest sales week for an album in 2020, and there’s a reason why it returned to no. 1 this week. Swift recently performed at the Country Music Awards for the first time in seven years, and her live rendition of “Betty” got everyone talking.
When it comes to the rest of the Billboard 200 chart for this week, Pop Smoke and YoungBoy Never Broke Again were right behind Swift, while Alicia Keys’ new studio album debuted at no. 4.
