Did you know? The train scene in the “Where Do Broken Hearts Go” video was filmed at Newark-Penn Station in New Jersey (Whitney’s hometown). The song was released in February 1988 as the fourth single from Whitney’s second album ‘Whitney.’ It became her 7th consecutive Number One single — setting an all time record which has yet to be broken! On tour, Whitney usually performed the song as part of a medley with some of her other “love” songs. “She gave everything she sang GREAT meaning. She knew what she wanted and she asked me to rewrite the bridge to that song three times in the studio until she was happy enough with one of them to record.” – Songwriter Frank Wildhorn

Whitney contributed three songs to the soundtrack: #1 Billboard Hot 100 single “Exhale (Shoop Shoop)” along with hits “Count On Me” and “Why Does It Hurt So Bad.” She also personally selected the artists who appeared on the soundtrack, which hit #1 on the Billboard 200 chart. The movie opened at #1 in North America and its success sparked a wave of black ensemble films that followed.
