Whitney Houston will probably be at the top of the charts again by the end of the year, according to the man behind her comeback.

Clive Davis said four songs have been completed for the as-yet-untitled project, and four more will be put to tape later this month.

"We're on track for a holiday release," he said during Billboard's Music & Money Symposium this week. "We're not going to compromise who she is to fit into today's hip-hop radio market. The public wants Whitney material."

This will be Whitney's first original release since 2002.
