My Love Is Your Love is the fourth album by American singer Whitney Houston, released in 1998 (see 1998 in music). It saw Houston bouncing between uptempo dance numbers, slow and mid-tempo R&B grooves, hip-hop, and torch songs. The single "It's Not Right but It's Okay" won Houston her sixth Grammy Award and the album sold nearly four million copies in the U.S. and ten million copies worldwide at its time of release.[citation needed] A concert tour in support of the album was successful.
