In France only, Encore Un Soir Album is diamond and Encore Un Soir single is Diamond.
I hope Encore Un Soir is already inside the top 10 best-selling Celine Dion french singles,
It's All COming Back To Me Now is rising in Itunes due to an Applebee's commercial using the song, i hope the song will beat the sales of The Power Of Love one day asap.
Im excited to see the total sales of IACBTMN. The sales between IACBTMN and TPOL should be closer.
Im also excited to see the total sales of BATB cos it should have increased its sales due to the BATB live movie.
I hope MHWGO has reached more than 40m already.
I wanna know the sales of How Does A Moment Last Forever
Hopefully RDMH has reached a million in sales.
Encore Un Soir in the top 10 top selling Celine frnach singles would be awesome to know.
I still cannot believe Happy Xmas was a popular Celine Dion song. Hope it outsold IDAN now.
The Prayer should have reached 4m by now.
Immortality sales should have increased well due to the Bee Gees tribute.
And Celine's best selling song should have reached 6m by now.
I hope Celine's upcoming album will sell more than 5 million physical albums but ill already be happy if it sells more than 2 million copies.
And i also hope Celine will also have more streaming sales.
And i hope that before 2020, she will outsell U2 and Elton John.
Hi MJD, is Celine the best selling female artist in Europe? Is she also the best selling artist in the UK?
Is Celine Dion the best selling female artist in Asia?
If not, did she sell more than Madonna in Asia?
Hi RLAAMJR,
I already told you to stop acting dumb. You obviously know that Mariah outsold Celine in Asia, you are barely trolling, trying to start silly fights because you have too much time available. From now on, your messages related to divas will be moved to trash.
Hi MJD,
I am sorry. And I'm so sorry that I dont read all the pages on every article you make.
MJD, I always thought we kinda get along with each other. I guess a lot of other posters have been telling you negative things about me.
I dont start fights and I dont use insulting words.
Still, I will do my best not to make you feel bad about me.
Perhaps, somebody knows cos I've done a lot of searching but could not find the answer. What is the name of the guy in the music video of "It's All Coming Back To Me Now"?
I've heard this before but was it true that Celine sold nearly 100 million albums between 1995-1999?
Hi RLAAMJR!
No doubt she came close but she hasn't sold 100m from 95 to 99. What's official is these pieces of data:
1)
"Celine Dion sold over 60 million albums during a single 30-months period"
This comes from Sony Annual Report of 1999. This report covers the period from April 1998 to March 1999. It seems clear that they refer to the period going through March, 8 1996 to August, 8 1998, when the bulk of copies of FIY and LTAL were shipped plus the initial shipment of S'Il Suffisait D'Aimer.
2)
"Celine Dion, a five-time Grammy Award winner, has sold more than 100 million albums worldwide in the past decade."
So 100m from 1990 to 1999. This comes from Sony report of 2000. We don't know how much "more than" this is, but they used to round their figures to every 5-million block, so she was most likely in the 100-105 million region. The large majority of these sales happened between 1995 and 1999, but she still sold relevant amounts before, most notably with TCOML.
I see. Thanks a lot.
Wow. Selling more than 60 million albums in 30 months is really a great feat.
Aside from France and USA, are there other countries which D'eux is also the best-selling french album?
I've just realized that among the BIG 5 (Madonna, Celine, Mariah, Whitney and Barbra), only Celine has managed to sell more than a million pure albums sold for every english album she has released. Her lowest pure album sales is not even close to 1 million but rather, close to 2 million. Loved Me Back To Life album has sold more than 1,700,000 copies worldwide.
So I guess, it is a good thing that Celine was born in Canada because Canadians will continue to support her. Her lowest pure album sales in Canada for an english album was 120,000 for the Miracle album and it's an understandable figure because it is a concept album.
Another good thing is that Celine is currently living in the USA and continues to be relevant due to still doing her Las Vegas shows which may have helped her loyal fans to continue to support her, as well as gain new fans. Her lowest total pure album sales for an english album was 350,000 from her Loved Me Back To Life album.
And lastly, she continues to release french albums to maintain relevance and fans to the french market/countries, most especially France. Her lowest pure albums sales in France for an english album is 145,000 which is a fine figure since Miracle is a concept album.
Oh and if I'm not mistaken, she visits Europe from time to time.
So it's a guarantee that her next English album will sell more than 1 million pure album sales, with or without hits. But of course, I want her next english album to sell more and it's possible that it will because Celine has continued to be relevant, she has support especially from Oprah, Foster and Goldman, her Asian tour will make Celine fans from Asia excited to buy her album, and it's a comeback English album.
Just being optimistic. 🙂
And can somebody give me a complete list of all Celibe songs that have become a soundtrack/movie theme song?
Hi RLAAMJR,
The set in all its formats is already inside the article at 2 million units sold.
Thank you.
Do you also have the pure album sales of Cest Pour Vivre and The Collection 1982-1988 albums?
if possible I'd like to know pure album sales of Celine Dion/Unison boxset released in 1996, Gold vol 1/Unison/Gold Vol 2 boxset released in 1996 and Les Premieres Chansons vol 1/Les Premieres Chansons Vol 2 boxset released in 1998.
Thank you in advance!
Hi RLAAMJR!
Most of these packages have been put together into the "Early Material Album" folder while sales of 2CD sets are added directly to individual albums' estimates. Among the big ones, my files include nearly 600k sales of The Collection identified and 330k/195k for Les Premières Chansons 1/2!
Thank you MJD.
I was gonna show you something that well, you won't really be surprised but at least I did it and not you. I was almost done and was about to post it but the site suddenly refreshed (websites refreshes from time to time on cellphones)so all my post was gone. So im gonna do it when i go to an internet cafe.
Anyway, if you do update Celine's CSPC, please update U2's first unless you can give me a sign that when you actually update Celine first before U2, Celine still outranks U2. 🙂
Hi MJD,
Based on the figures of this site
February 1996 CelineDion/Unison -
March 1996 Falling Into You - 28,100,000
October 1996 Live a Paris - 1,800,000
November 1996 Gold Vol. 1/Unison/Gold Vol. 2 -
February 1997 C'est pour vivre
July 1997 The Collection 1982-1988 - 600,000
November 1997 Let's Talk About Love - 29,800,000
September 1998 S'il suffisait d'aimer - 3,900,000
October 1998 Les premières chansons vol. 1/Les premières chansons vol. 2 - 330,000 / 195,000
October 1998 These Are Special Times - 11,900,000
August 1999 Au Coeur du stade - 1,200,000
November 1999 All The Way... A Decade Of Songs - 22,900,000
Total pure album sales = 100,725,000
Therefore it is possible that, from January 1996 - December 1999, Celine Dion have sold more than 90,000,000 albums (considering previous albums that have been sold within the year range and minus the albums release within the range but have been sold beyond December 1999)
Adding these info:
February 2000 The Early Singles -
October 2000 The Collector's Series, Volume One (Tout en amour) -
October 2000 Des mots qui sonnent/Celine Dion/À l'Olympia -
Definitely, in just 5 years, from January 1996 - December 2000, Celine Dion has sold more than 100,000,000 pure album sales.
