"'''Heartbreak Hotel'''" is a song by [[United States|American]] [[R&B]]/[[Pop music|Pop]] singer [[Whitney Houston]]. It was released as the second but official lead single from her 1998 album ''[[My Love Is Your Love]]''. The song also features [[R&B]] singers [[Faith Evans]] and [[Kelly Price]] accompanying her. "Heartbreak Hotel" reached the Top 30 of the [[Billboard Hot 100]] on January 26, 1999 and peaked at number two on March 9 and number one on Billboard's [[Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs]] on February 2, and was certified [[RIAA|Platinum]] by the [[RIAA]]. It was a hit in several countries worldwide. The song also received two nominations at the [[2000 Grammy Awards]]: [[Best R&B Song]] and Best R&B Performance by a Group or Duo, though it did not win. The video was nominated for Best R&B Video at the [[1999 MTV Video Music Awards]].

==Release==
It is the second single released from her ''[[My Love Is Your Love]]'' album. "Heartbreak Hotel" was not initially released in the [[United Kingdom|UK]] at the time of the ''My Love Is Your Love'' album release. It was released as the third single from Houston's ''Whitney: Greatest Hits'' album in December 2000 and peaked at #25. It holds the distinction as being one of only three songs to be on both discs for Houston's 2000 [[Whitney: The Greatest Hits|Greatest Hits]] collection, in its original and remixed formats. It is absent on the 2007 ''[[The Ultimate Collection (Whitney Houston album)|The Ultimate Collection]]''.

== Reception ==
=== Critical reception ===
''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' magazine reviewed the song favorably saying, "[It's] a highly effective setting for Houston, who wears her emotions on her sleeve and serves up one of the most effective performances on the album. Price and Evans sell themselves grandly as empathetic sisters alongside their pained friend, soaring with emotion and helping keep the timeless artist identifiable to a new generation of R&B fans. Of course, R&B radio will give this a hug in an instant. It's nice to see Houston on track, leaning away from the syrup and juicing up for the real deal here."<ref>{{Cite book | url = http://books.google.co.kr/books?id=Fw0EAAAAMBAJ&lpg=PA1&lr&hl=en&rview=1&pg=PA15#v=onepage&q&f=false | title = Singles Reviews & Previews: "Heartbreak Hotel" by Whitney Houston Feat.

"'''Heartbreak Hotel'''" is a song by [[United States|American]] [[R&B]]/[[Pop music|Pop]] singer [[Whitney Houston]]. It is the second single released from her ''[[My Love Is Your Love]]'' album. The song also features [[R&B]] singers [[Faith Evans]] and [[Kelly Price]] accompanying her. "Heartbreak Hotel" reached the Top 30 of the [[Billboard Hot 100]] on January 26, 1999 and peaked at number two on March 9 and number one on Billboard's [[Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs]] on February 2, and was certified [[RIAA|Platinum]] by the [[RIAA]]. It was a hit in several countries worldwide. The song also received two nominations at the [[2000 Grammy Awards]]: [[Best R&B Song]] and Best R&B Performance by a Group or Duo, though it did not win. The video was nominated for Best R&B Video at the [[1999 MTV Video Music Awards]].

It holds the distinction as being one of only three songs to be on both discs for Houston's 2000 [[Whitney: The Greatest Hits|Greatest Hits]] collection, in its original and remixed formats. It is absent on the 2007 ''[[The Ultimate Collection (Whitney Houston album)|The Ultimate Collection]]''.

"Heartbreak Hotel" was not initially released in the [[United Kingdom|UK]] at the time of the ''My Love Is Your Love'' album release. It was released as the third single from Houston's ''Whitney: Greatest Hits'' album in December 2000 and peaked at #25.

== Reception ==
=== Critical reception ===
''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' magazine reviewed the song favorably saying, "[It's] a highly effective setting for Houston, who wears her emotions on her sleeve and serves up one of the most effective performances on the album. Price and Evans sell themselves grandly as empathetic sisters alongside their pained friend, soaring with emotion and helping keep the timeless artist identifiable to a new generation of R&B fans. Of course, R&B radio will give this a hug in an instant. It's nice to see Houston on track, leaning away from the syrup and juicing up for the real deal here."<ref>{{Cite web | url = http://books.google.co.kr/books?id=Fw0EAAAAMBAJ&lpg=PA1&lr&hl=en&rview=1&pg=PA15#v=onepage&q&f=false | title = Singles Reviews & Previews: "Heartbreak Hotel" by Whitney Houston Feat.

The song also features [[R&B]] singers [[Faith Evans]] and [[Kelly Price]] accompanying her. "Heartbreak Hotel" reached the Top 30 of the [[Billboard Hot 100]] on January 26, 1999 and peaked at number two on March 9 and number one on Billboard's [[Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs]] on February 2, and was certified [[RIAA|Platinum]] by the [[RIAA]]. It was a hit in several countries worldwide. The song also received two nominations at the [[2000 Grammy Awards]]: [[Best R&B Song]] and Best R&B Performance by a Group or Duo, though it did not win. The video was nominated for Best R&B Video at the [[1999 MTV Video Music Awards]].

It holds the distinction as being one of only three songs to be on both discs for Houston's 2000 [[Whitney: The Greatest Hits|Greatest Hits]] collection, in its original and remixed formats. It is absent on the 2007 ''[[The Ultimate Collection (Whitney Houston album)|The Ultimate Collection]]''.

"Heartbreak Hotel" was not initially released in the [[United Kingdom|UK]] at the time of the ''My Love Is Your Love'' album release. It was released as the third single from Houston's ''Whitney: Greatest Hits'' album in December 2000 and peaked at #25.

== Reception ==
=== Critical reception ===
''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' magazine reviewed the song favorably saying, "[It's] a highly effective setting for Houston, who wears her emotions on her sleeve and serves up one of the most effective performances on the album. Price and Evans sell themselves grandly as empathetic sisters alongside their pained friend, soaring with emotion and helping keep the timeless artist identifiable to a new generation of R&B fans. Of course, R&B radio will give this a hug in an instant. It's nice to see Houston on track, leaning away from the syrup and juicing up for the real deal here."<ref>{{Cite web | url = http://books.google.co.kr/books?id=Fw0EAAAAMBAJ&lpg=PA1&lr&hl=en&rview=1&pg=PA15#v=onepage&q&f=false | title = Singles Reviews & Previews: "Heartbreak Hotel" by Whitney Houston Feat.

"'''Heartbreak Hotel'''" is a song by [[United States|American]] [[R&B]]/[[Pop music|Pop]] singer [[Whitney Houston]]. It is the second single released from her ''[[My Love Is Your Love]]'' album. The song also features [[R&B]] singers [[Faith Evans]] and [[Kelly Price]] accompanying her. "Heartbreak Hotel" reached the Top 30 of the [[Billboard Hot 100]] on January 26, 1999 and peaked at number two on March 9 and number one on Billboard's [[Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs]] on February 2, and was certified [[RIAA|Platinum]] by the [[RIAA]]. It was a hit in several countries worldwide. The song also received two nominations at the [[2000 Grammy Awards]]: [[Best R&B Song]] and Best R&B Performance by a Group or Duo, though it did not win. The video was nominated for Best R&B Video at the [[1999 MTV Video Music Awards]].

It holds the distinction as being one of only three songs to be on both discs for Houston's 2000 [[Whitney: The Greatest Hits|Greatest Hits]] collection, in its original and remixed formats. It is absent on the 2007 ''[[The Ultimate Collection (Whitney Houston album)|The Ultimate Collection]]''.

"Heartbreak Hotel" was not initially released in the [[United Kingdom|UK]] at the time of the ''My Love Is Your Love'' album release. It was released as the third single from Houston's ''Whitney: Greatest Hits'' album in December 2000 and peaked at #25.

== Reception ==
=== Critical reception ===
''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' magazine reviewed the song favorably saying, "[It's] a highly effective setting for Houston, who wears her emotions on her sleeve and serves up one of the most effective performances on the album. Price and Evans sell themselves grandly as empathetic sisters alongside their pained friend, soaring with emotion and helping keep the timeless artist identifiable to a new generation of R&B fans. Of course, R&B radio will give this a hug in an instant. It's nice to see Houston on track, leaning away from the syrup and juicing up for the real deal here."<ref>{{Cite web | url = http://books.google.co.kr/books?id=Fw0EAAAAMBAJ&lpg=PA1&lr&hl=en&rview=1&pg=PA15#v=onepage&q&f=false | title = Singles Reviews & Previews: "Heartbreak Hotel" by Whitney Houston Feat.

"'''Heartbreak Hotel'''" is a song by [[United States|American]] [[R&B]]/[[Pop music|Pop]] singer [[Whitney Houston]]. It is the second single released from her ''[[My Love Is Your Love]]'' album. The song also features [[R&B]] singers [[Faith Evans]] and [[Kelly Price]] accompanying her. "Heartbreak Hotel" reached the Top 30 of the [[Billboard Hot 100]] on January 26, 1999 and peaked at number two on March 9 and number one on Billboard's [[Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs]] on February 2, and was certified [[RIAA|Platinum]] by the [[RIAA]]. It was a hit in several countries worldwide. The song also received two nominations at the [[2000 Grammy Awards]]: [[Best R&B Song]] and Best R&B Performance by a Group or Duo, though it did not win. The video was nominated for Best R&B Video at the [[1999 MTV Video Music Awards]].

It holds the distinction as being one of only three songs to be on both discs for Houston's 2000 [[Whitney: The Greatest Hits|Greatest Hits]] collection, in its original and remixed formats. It is absent on the 2007 ''[[The Ultimate Collection (Whitney Houston album)|The Ultimate Collection]]''.

"Heartbreak Hotel" was not initially released in the [[United Kingdom|UK]] at the time of the ''My Love Is Your Love'' album release. It was released as the third single from Houston's ''Whitney: Greatest Hits'' album in December 2000 and peaked at #25.

== Reception ==
=== Critical reception ===
''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' magazine reviewed the song favorably saying, "[It's] a highly effective setting for Houston, who wears her emotions on her sleeve and serves up one of the most effective performances on the album. Price and Evans sell themselves grandly as empathetic sisters alongside their pained friend, soaring with emotion and helping keep the timeless artist identifiable to a new generation of R&B fans. Of course, R&B radio will give this a hug in an instant. It's nice to see Houston on track, leaning away from the syrup and juicing up for the real deal here."<ref>{{Cite web | url = http://books.google.co.kr/books?id=Fw0EAAAAMBAJ&lpg=PA1&lr&hl=en&rview=1&pg=PA15#v=onepage&q&f=false | title = Singles Reviews & Previews: "Heartbreak Hotel" by Whitney Houston Feat.

"'''Heartbreak Hotel'''" is a song by [[United States|American]] [[R&B]]/[[Pop music|Pop]] singer [[Whitney Houston]]. It is the second single released from her ''[[My Love Is Your Love]]'' album. The song also features [[R&B]] singers [[Faith Evans]] and [[Kelly Price]] accompanying her. "Heartbreak Hotel" reached the Top 30 of the [[Billboard Hot 100]] on January 26, 1999 and peaked at number two on March 9 and number one on Billboard's [[Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs]] on February 2, and was certified [[RIAA|Platinum]] by the [[RIAA]]. It was a hit in several countries worldwide. The song also received two nominations at the [[2000 Grammy Awards]]: [[Best R&B Song]] and Best R&B Performance by a Group or Duo, though it did not win. The video was nominated for Best R&B Video at the [[1999 MTV Video Music Awards]].

It holds the distinction as being one of only three songs to be on both discs for Houston's 2000 [[Whitney: The Greatest Hits|Greatest Hits]] collection, in its original and remixed formats. It is absent on the 2007 ''[[The Ultimate Collection (Whitney Houston album)|The Ultimate Collection]]''.

"Heartbreak Hotel" was not initially released in the [[United Kingdom|UK]] at the time of the ''My Love Is Your Love'' album release. It was released as the third single from Houston's ''Whitney: Greatest Hits'' album in December 2000 and peaked at #25.

== Reception ==
=== Critical reception ===
''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' magazine reviewed the song favorably saying, "[It's] a highly effective setting for Houston, who wears her emotions on her sleeve and serves up one of the most effective performances on the album. Price and Evans sell themselves grandly as empathetic sisters alongside their pained friend, soaring with emotion and helping keep the timeless artist identifiable to a new generation of R&B fans. Of course, R&B radio will give this a hug in an instant. It's nice to see Houston on track, leaning away from the syrup and juicing up for the real deal here."<ref>{{Cite web | url = http://books.google.co.kr/books?id=Fw0EAAAAMBAJ&lpg=PA1&lr&hl=en&rview=1&pg=PA15#v=onepage&q&f=false | title = Singles Reviews & Previews: "Heartbreak Hotel" by Whitney Houston Feat.

"'''Heartbreak Hotel'''" is a song by [[United States|American]] [[R&B]]/[[Pop music|Pop]] singer [[Whitney Houston]]. It is the second single released from her ''[[My Love Is Your Love]]'' album. The song also features [[R&B]] singers [[Faith Evans]] and [[Kelly Price]] accompanying her. "Heartbreak Hotel" reached the Top 30 of the [[Billboard Hot 100]] on January 26, 1999 and peaked at number two on March 9 and number one on Billboard's [[Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs]] on February 2, and was certified [[RIAA|Platinum]] by the [[RIAA]]. It was a hit in several countries worldwide. The song also received two nominations at the [[2000 Grammy Awards]]: [[Best R&B Song]] and Best R&B Performance by a Group or Duo, though it did not win. The video was nominated for Best R&B Video at the [[1999 MTV Video Music Awards]].

It holds the distinction as being one of only three songs to be on both discs for Houston's 2000 [[Whitney: The Greatest Hits|Greatest Hits]] collection, in its original and remixed formats. It is absent on the 2007 ''[[The Ultimate Collection (Whitney Houston album)|The Ultimate Collection]]''.

"Heartbreak Hotel" was not initially released in the [[United Kingdom|UK]] at the time of the ''My Love Is Your Love'' album release. It was released as the third single from Houston's ''Whitney: Greatest Hits'' album in December 2000 and peaked at #25.

== Reception ==
=== Critical reception ===
''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' magazine reviewed the song favorably saying, "[It's] a highly effective setting for Houston, who wears her emotions on her sleeve and serves up one of the most effective performances on the album. Price and Evans sell themselves grandly as empathetic sisters alongside their pained friend, soaring with emotion and helping keep the timeless artist identifiable to a new generation of R&B fans. Of course, R&B radio will give this a hug in an instant. It's nice to see Houston on track, leaning away from the syrup and juicing up for the real deal here."<ref>{{Cite web | url = http://books.google.co.kr/books?id=Fw0EAAAAMBAJ&lpg=PA1&lr&hl=en&rview=1&pg=PA15#v=onepage&q&f=false | title = Singles Reviews & Previews: "Heartbreak Hotel" by Whitney Houston Feat.

"'''Heartbreak Hotel'''" is a song by [[United States|American]] [[R&B]]/[[Pop music|Pop]] singer [[Whitney Houston]]. It is the second single released from her ''[[My Love Is Your Love]]'' album. The song also features [[R&B]] singers [[Faith Evans]] and [[Kelly Price]] accompanying her. "Heartbreak Hotel" reached the Top 30 of the [[Billboard Hot 100]] on January 26, 1999 and peaked at number two on March 9 and number one on Billboard's [[Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs]] on February 2, and was certified [[RIAA|Platinum]] by the [[RIAA]]. It was a hit in several countries worldwide. The song also received two nominations at the [[2000 Grammy Awards]]: [[Best R&B Song]] and Best R&B Performance by a Group or Duo, though it did not win. The video was nominated for Best R&B Video at the [[1999 MTV Video Music Awards]].

It holds the distinction as being one of only three songs to be on both discs for Houston's 2000 [[Whitney: The Greatest Hits|Greatest Hits]] collection, in its original and remixed formats. It is absent on the 2007 ''[[The Ultimate Collection (Whitney Houston album)|The Ultimate Collection]]''.

"Heartbreak Hotel" was not initially released in the [[United Kingdom|UK]] at the time of the ''My Love Is Your Love'' album release. It was released as the third single from Houston's ''Whitney: Greatest Hits'' album in December 2000 and peaked at #25.

== Reception ==
=== Critical reception ===
''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' magazine reviewed the song favorably saying, "[It's] a highly effective setting for Houston, who wears her emotions on her sleeve and serves up one of the most effective performances on the album. Price and Evans sell themselves grandly as empathetic sisters alongside their pained friend, soaring with emotion and helping keep the timeless artist identifiable to a new generation of R&B fans. Of course, R&B radio will give this a hug in an instant. It's nice to see Houston on track, leaning away from the syrup and juicing up for the real deal here."<ref>{{Cite web | url = http://books.google.co.kr/books?id=Fw0EAAAAMBAJ&lpg=PA1&lr&hl=en&rview=1&pg=PA15#v=onepage&q&f=false | title = Singles Reviews & Previews: "Heartbreak Hotel" by Whitney Houston Feat.

"'''Heartbreak Hotel'''" is a song by [[United States|American]] [[R&B]]/[[Pop music|Pop]] singer [[Whitney Houston]]. It is the second single released from her ''[[My Love Is Your Love]]'' album. The song also features [[R&B]] singers [[Faith Evans]] and [[Kelly Price]] accompanying her. "Heartbreak Hotel" reached the Top 30 of the [[Billboard Hot 100]] on January 26, 1999 and peaked at number two on March 9 and number one on Billboard's [[Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs]] on February 2, and was certified [[RIAA|Platinum]] by the [[RIAA]]. It was a hit in several countries worldwide. The song also received two nominations at the [[2000 Grammy Awards]]: [[Best R&B Song]] and Best R&B Performance by a Group or Duo, though it did not win. The video was nominated for Best R&B Video at the [[1999 MTV Video Music Awards]].

It holds the distinction as being one of only three songs to be on both discs for Houston's 2000 [[Whitney: The Greatest Hits|Greatest Hits]] collection, in its original and remixed formats. It is absent on the 2007 ''[[The Ultimate Collection (Whitney Houston album)|The Ultimate Collection]]''.

"Heartbreak Hotel" was not initially released in the [[United Kingdom|UK]] at the time of the ''My Love Is Your Love'' album release. It was released as the third single from Houston's ''Whitney: Greatest Hits'' album in December 2000 and peaked at #25.

== Reception ==
=== Critical reception ===
''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' magazine reviewed the song favorably saying, "[It's] a highly effective setting for Houston, who wears her emotions on her sleeve and serves up one of the most effective performances on the album. Price and Evans sell themselves grandly as empathetic sisters alongside their pained friend, soaring with emotion and helping keep the timeless artist identifiable to a new generation of R&B fans. Of course, R&B radio will give this a hug in an instant. It's nice to see Houston on track, leaning away from the syrup and juicing up for the real deal here."<ref>{{Cite web | url = http://www.classicwhitney.com/review/music/singles/billboardsingles.htm | title = Billboard Single Reviews | publisher = Billboard.com | source = ClassicWhitney.com | accessdate =2010-10-08}}</ref>

"'''Heartbreak Hotel'''" is a song by [[United States|American]] [[R&B]]/[[Pop music|Pop]] singer [[Whitney Houston]]. It is the second single released from her ''[[My Love Is Your Love]]'' album. The song also features [[R&B]] singers [[Faith Evans]] and [[Kelly Price]] accompanying her. "Heartbreak Hotel" reached the Top 30 of the [[Billboard Hot 100]] on January 26, 1999 and peaked at number two on March 9 and number one on Billboard's [[Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs]] on February 2, and was certified [[RIAA|Platinum]] by the [[RIAA]]. It was a hit in several countries worldwide. The song also received two nominations at the [[2000 Grammy Awards]]: [[Best R&B Song]] and Best R&B Performance by a Group or Duo, though it did not win. The video was nominated for Best R&B Video at the [[1999 MTV Video Music Awards]].

It holds the distinction as being one of only three songs to be on both discs for Houston's 2000 [[Whitney: The Greatest Hits|Greatest Hits]] collection, in its original and remixed formats. It is absent on the 2007 ''[[The Ultimate Collection (Whitney Houston album)|The Ultimate Collection]]''.

"Heartbreak Hotel" was not initially released in the [[United Kingdom|UK]] at the time of the ''My Love Is Your Love'' album release. It was released as the third single from Houston's ''Whitney: Greatest Hits'' album in December 2000 and peaked at #25.

== Reception ==
=== Critical reception ===
''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' magazine reviewed the song favorably saying, "[It's] a highly effective setting for Houston, who wears her emotions on her sleeve and serves up one of the most effective performances on the album. Price and Evans sell themselves grandly as empathetic sisters alongside their pained friend, soaring with emotion and helping keep the timeless artist identifiable to a new generation of R&B fans. Of course, R&B radio will give this a hug in an instant. It's nice to see Houston on track, leaning away from the syrup and juicing up for the real deal here."<ref>{{Cite web | url = http://www.classicwhitney.com/review/music/singles/billboardsingles.htm | title = Billboard Single Reviews | publisher = Billboard.com | source = ClassicWhitney.com | accessdate =2010-10-08}}</ref>

"'''Heartbreak Hotel'''" is a song by [[United States|American]] [[R&B]]/[[Pop music|Pop]] singer [[Whitney Houston]]. It is the second single released from her ''[[My Love Is Your Love]]'' album. The song also features [[R&B]] singers [[Faith Evans]] and [[Kelly Price]] accompanying her. "Heartbreak Hotel" reached the Top 30 of the [[Billboard Hot 100]] on January 26, 1999 and peaked at number two on March 9 and number one on Billboard's [[Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs]] on February 2, and was certified [[RIAA|Platinum]] by the [[RIAA]]. It was a hit in several countries worldwide. The song also received two nominations at the [[2000 Grammy Awards]]: [[Best R&B Song]] and Best R&B Performance by a Group or Duo, though it did not win. The video was nominated for Best R&B Video at the [[1999 MTV Video Music Awards]].

It holds the distinction as being one of only three songs to be on both discs for Houston's 2000 [[Whitney: The Greatest Hits|Greatest Hits]] collection, in its original and remixed formats. It is absent on the 2007 ''[[The Ultimate Collection (Whitney Houston album)|The Ultimate Collection]]''.

"Heartbreak Hotel" was not initially released in the [[United Kingdom|UK]] at the time of the ''My Love Is Your Love'' album release. It was released as the third single from Houston's ''Whitney: Greatest Hits'' album in December 2000 and peaked at #25.

== Reception ==
=== Critical reception ===
''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' magazine reviewed the song favorably saying, "[It's] a highly effective setting for Houston, who wears her emotions on her sleeve and serves up one of the most effective performances on the album. Price and Evans sell themselves grandly as empathetic sisters alongside their pained friend, soaring with emotion and helping keep the timeless artist identifiable to a new generation of R&B fans. Of course, R&B radio will give this a hug in an instant. It's nice to see Houston on track, leaning away from the syrup and juicing up for the real deal here."<ref>{{Cite web | url = http://www.classicwhitney.com/review/music/singles/billboardsingles.htm | title = Billboard Single Reviews | publisher = Billboard.com | source = ClassicWhitney.com | accessdate =2010-10-08}}</ref>

"'''Heartbreak Hotel'''" is a song by [[United States|American]] [[R&B]]/[[Pop music|Pop]] singer [[Whitney Houston]]. It is the second single released from her ''[[My Love Is Your Love]]'' album. The song also features [[R&B]] singers [[Faith Evans]] and [[Kelly Price]] accompanying her. "Heartbreak Hotel" reached the Top 30 of the [[Billboard Hot 100]] on January 26, 1999 and peaked at number two on March 9 and number one on Billboard's [[Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs]] on February 2, and was certified [[RIAA|Platinum]] by the [[RIAA]]. It was a hit in several countries worldwide. The song also received two nominations at the [[2000 Grammy Awards]]: [[Best R&B Song]] and Best R&B Performance by a Group or Duo, though it did not win. The video was nominated for Best R&B Video at the [[1999 MTV Video Music Awards]].

It holds the distinction as being one of only three songs to be on both discs for Houston's 2000 [[Whitney: The Greatest Hits|Greatest Hits]] collection, in its original and remixed formats. It is absent on the 2007 ''[[The Ultimate Collection (Whitney Houston album)|The Ultimate Collection]]''.

"Heartbreak Hotel" was not initially released in the [[United Kingdom|UK]] at the time of the ''My Love Is Your Love'' album release. It was released as the third single from Houston's ''Whitney: Greatest Hits'' album in December 2000 and peaked at #25.

== Reception ==
=== Critical reception ===
''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' magazine reviewed the song favorably saying, "[It's] a highly effective setting for Houston, who wears her emotions on her sleeve and serves up one of the most effective performances on the album. Price and Evans sell themselves grandly as empathetic sisters alongside their pained friend, soaring with emotion and helping keep the timeless artist identifiable to a new generation of R&B fans. Of course, R&B radio will give this a hug in an instant. It's nice to see Houston on track, leaning away from the syrup and juicing up for the real deal here."<ref>{{Cite web | url = http://www.classicwhitney.com/review/music/singles/billboardsingles.htm | title = Billboard Single Reviews | publisher = Billboard.com | source = ClassicWhitney.com | accessdate =2010-10-08}}</ref>

"'''Heartbreak Hotel'''" is a song by [[United States|American]] [[R&B]]/[[Pop music|Pop]] singer [[Whitney Houston]]. It is the second single released from her ''[[My Love Is Your Love]]'' album. The song also features [[R&B]] singers [[Faith Evans]] and [[Kelly Price]] accompanying her. "Heartbreak Hotel" reached the Top 30 of the [[Billboard Hot 100]] on January 26, 1999 and peaked at number two on March 9 and number one on Billboard's [[Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs]] on February 2, and was certified [[RIAA|Platinum]] by the [[RIAA]]. It was a hit in several countries worldwide. The song also received two nominations at the [[2000 Grammy Awards]]: [[Best R&B Song]] and Best R&B Performance by a Group or Duo, though it did not win. The video was nominated for Best R&B Video at the [[1999 MTV Video Music Awards]].

It holds the distinction as being one of only three songs to be on both discs for Houston's 2000 [[Whitney: The Greatest Hits|Greatest Hits]] collection, in its original and remixed formats. It is absent on the 2007 ''[[The Ultimate Collection (Whitney Houston album)|The Ultimate Collection]]''.

"Heartbreak Hotel" was not initially released in the [[United Kingdom|UK]] at the time of the ''My Love Is Your Love'' album release. It was released as the third single from Houston's ''Whitney: Greatest Hits'' album in December 2000 and peaked at #25.

== Reception ==
=== Critical reception ===
''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' magazine reviewed the song favorably saying, "[It's] a highly effective setting for Houston, who wears her emotions on her sleeve and serves up one of the most effective performances on the album. Price and Evans sell themselves grandly as empathetic sisters alongside their pained friend, soaring with emotion and helping keep the timeless artist identifiable to a new generation of R&B fans. Of course, R&B radio will give this a hug in an instant. It's nice to see Houston on track, leaning away from the syrup and juicing up for the real deal here."<ref>{{Cite web | url = http://www.classicwhitney.com/review/music/singles/billboardsingles.htm | title = Billboard Single Reviews | publisher = Billboard.com | source = ClassicWhitney.com | accessdate =2010-10-08}}</ref>

"'''Heartbreak Hotel'''" is a song by [[United States|American]] [[R&B]]/[[Pop music|Pop]] singer [[Whitney Houston]]. It is the second single released from her ''[[My Love Is Your Love]]'' album. The song also features [[R&B]] singers [[Faith Evans]] and [[Kelly Price]] accompanying her. "Heartbreak Hotel" reached the Top 30 of the [[Billboard Hot 100]] on January 26, 1999 and peaked at number two on March 9 and number one on Billboard's [[Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs]] on February 2, and was certified [[RIAA|Platinum]] by the [[RIAA]]. It was a hit in several countries worldwide. The song also received two nominations at the [[2000 Grammy Awards]]: [[Best R&B Song]] and Best R&B Performance by a Group or Duo, though it did not win. The video was nominated for Best R&B Video at the [[1999 MTV Video Music Awards]].

It holds the distinction as being one of only three songs to be on both discs for Houston's 2000 [[Whitney: The Greatest Hits|Greatest Hits]] collection, in its original and remixed formats. It is absent on the 2007 ''[[The Ultimate Collection (Whitney Houston album)|The Ultimate Collection]]''.

"Heartbreak Hotel" was not initially released in the [[United Kingdom|UK]] at the time of the ''My Love Is Your Love'' album release. It was released as the third single from Houston's ''Whitney: Greatest Hits'' album in December 2000 and peaked at #25.

== Reception ==
=== Critical reception ===
''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' magazine reviewed the song favorably saying, "[It's] a highly effective setting for Houston, who wears her emotions on her sleeve and serves up one of the most effective performances on the album. Price and Evans sell themselves grandly as empathetic sisters alongside their pained friend, soaring with emotion and helping keep the timeless artist identifiable to a new generation of R&B fans. Of course, R&B radio will give this a hug in an instant. It's nice to see Houston on track, leaning away from the syrup and juicing up for the real deal here."<ref>{{Cite web | url = http://www.classicwhitney.com/review/music/singles/billboardsingles.htm | title = Billboard Single Reviews | publisher = Billboard.com | source = ClassicWhitney.com | accessdate =2010-10-08}}</ref>

"'''Heartbreak Hotel'''" is a song by [[United States|American]] [[R&B]]/[[Pop music|Pop]] singer [[Whitney Houston]]. It is the second single released from her ''[[My Love Is Your Love]]'' album. The song also features [[R&B]] singers [[Faith Evans]] and [[Kelly Price]] accompanying her. "Heartbreak Hotel" reached the Top 30 of the [[Billboard Hot 100]] on January 26, 1999 and peaked at number two on March 9 and number one on Billboard's [[Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs]] on February 2, and was certified [[RIAA|Platinum]] by the [[RIAA]]. It was a hit in several countries worldwide. The song also received two nominations at the [[2000 Grammy Awards]]: [[Best R&B Song]] and Best R&B Performance by a Group or Duo, though it did not win. The video was nominated for Best R&B Video at the [[1999 MTV Video Music Awards]].

It holds the distinction as being one of only three songs to be on both discs for Houston's 2000 [[Whitney: The Greatest Hits|Greatest Hits]] collection, in its original and remixed formats. It is absent on the 2007 ''[[The Ultimate Collection (Whitney Houston album)|The Ultimate Collection]]''.

"Heartbreak Hotel" was not initially released in the [[United Kingdom|UK]] at the time of the ''My Love Is Your Love'' album release. It was released as the third single from Houston's ''Whitney: Greatest Hits'' album in December 2000 and peaked at #25.

== Reception ==
=== Critical reception ===
''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' magazine reviewed the song favorably saying, "[It's] a highly effective setting for Houston, who wears her emotions on her sleeve and serves up one of the most effective performances on the album. Price and Evans sell themselves grandly as empathetic sisters alongside their pained friend, soaring with emotion and helping keep the timeless artist identifiable to a new generation of R&B fans. Of course, R&B radio will give this a hug in an instant. It's nice to see Houston on track, leaning away from the syrup and juicing up for the real deal here."<ref>{{Cite web | url = http://www.classicwhitney.com/review/music/singles/billboardsingles.htm | title = Billboard Single Reviews | publisher = Billboard.com | source = ClassicWhitney.com | accessdate =2010-10-08}}</ref>

"'''Heartbreak Hotel'''" is a song by [[United States|American]] [[R&B]]/[[Pop music|Pop]] singer [[Whitney Houston]]. It is the second single released from her ''[[My Love Is Your Love]]'' album. The song also features [[R&B]] singers [[Faith Evans]] and [[Kelly Price]] accompanying her. "Heartbreak Hotel" reached the Top 30 of the [[Billboard Hot 100]] on January 26, 1999 and peaked at number two on March 9 and number one on Billboard's [[Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs]] on February 2, and was certified [[RIAA|Platinum]] by the [[RIAA]]. It was a hit in several countries worldwide. The song also received two nominations at the [[2000 Grammy Awards]]: [[Best R&B Song]] and Best R&B Performance by a Group or Duo, though it did not win. The video was nominated for Best R&B Video at the [[1999 MTV Video Music Awards]].

It holds the distinction as being one of only three songs to be on both discs for Houston's 2000 [[Whitney: The Greatest Hits|Greatest Hits]] collection, in its original and remixed formats. It is absent on the 2007 ''[[The Ultimate Collection (Whitney Houston album)|The Ultimate Collection]]''.

"Heartbreak Hotel" was not initially released in the [[United Kingdom|UK]] at the time of the ''My Love Is Your Love'' album release. It was released as the third single from Houston's ''Whitney: Greatest Hits'' album in December 2000 and peaked at #25.

== Reception ==
=== Critical reception ===
''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' magazine reviewed the song favorably saying, "[It's] a highly effective setting for Houston, who wears her emotions on her sleeve and serves up one of the most effective performances on the album. Price and Evans sell themselves grandly as empathetic sisters alongside their pained friend, soaring with emotion and helping keep the timeless artist identifiable to a new generation of R&B fans. Of course, R&B radio will give this a hug in an instant. It's nice to see Houston on track, leaning away from the syrup and juicing up for the real deal here."<ref>{{Cite web | url = http://www.classicwhitney.com/review/music/singles/billboardsingles.htm | title = Billboard Single Reviews | publisher = Billboard.com | source = ClassicWhitney.com | accessdate =2010-10-08}}</ref>
