A soundtrack album is meant for the movie, not the artist. So i actually prefer soundtrack albums should not be added/included.
Your curiosity is answered.
#2 Is Celine Dion
#3 Is Mariah Carey
#4 Is Whitney Houston
Hi MJD,
When "My Heart Will Go On" was released, it was stated that in the US, the song was given a limited number of copies - 658,000.
My question is who limits the number of copies and why do they limit number of copies? And the song was a huge hit especially on single sales but why did it just stayed #1 for two weeks in the US Billboard Hot 100?
Hi RLAAMJR!
Singles happen to be limited at times when the major thinks enough people will buy the album if they don't find the single. As MHWGO single was in nature very different from the album, many potential consumers may have been interested to buy the single only, while the full album is obviously more profitable.
This limited release plus the usual lack of airplay obtained by adult contemporary songs explain why the song was relatively weak on the US hot 100
I see. Thanks a lot for the reply MJD. Without your reply, I would have kept on thinking US BillBoard did it because they dislike Celine and so that the song will not stay on top for many weeks.
Thank you again. 🙂
I know that in the future, It's All Coming Back To Me Now will outsell The Power Of Love. IACBTMN deserves to be in the Top 3 biggest Celine Dion songs.
It's great to see that Tell Him is bigger than When You Believe.
Is Beauty and the Beast the biggest duet song?
MJD, you don't need to give me the exact figure but did Encore Un Soir already sold more than 1 million albums already?
And just like what you did with Cher, please give a page per album for Celine's early material albums.
Also, since she has french singles and french albums, i hope there's going to be a separate page for CSPC Overall Sales French Tracks Ranking and a separate page for CSPC Overall Sales - French Albums Ranking.
Hi RLAAMJR!
Encore Un Soir is now up to 720,000 units scanned in France. In Canada, it failed to sell the copies shipped upon release with sales up to 115,000 units so far. It sold over 40,000 copies in Belgium plus Switzerland and about the same in the rest of Europe. Sales in remaining markets are over 20,000 units. That's a total of 935,000 copies sold. All figures are based on sales to consumers, in terms of shipment the album must be inside the 960,000 / 970,000 copies range as returns happened already (like in Canada).
Thank you for the answer. I really thought it had sold more than 1 million already because of the certification. But maybe, before 2017ends, it will really reach more than 1 million albums sold. 🙂
Please update Celine's article and give Aisa sales for per album. And could you tell us Mdonna and Celine is the second best-selling western female artist in Aisa behind Mariah?
Please update this artixle and add BONUS: Total Album (all types) Sales per Country” and “Chart & Sales Achievements” Celine sold millions of record since last updated
Wow. She sold 22 million with all the way. It means shes the only female artist with 3, 20 million + album sales right?
Hi Janet,
Well no, Madonna did it too with The Immaculate Collection, True Blue and Like A Virgin. Then Whitney has a word to say there as well with the Bodyguard and Whitney Houston easily over 20 million and Whitney on 19,8 million.
