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.
They definitely will and it's going to be more extensive, like more pages. 🙂
Yes, add youtube streaming and new album sales, celine will no doubt pass U2 and higher figure. It will be great to read the team's description for each periods's records and award&achievement
I didn't quite understand the issue with "I'm Your Angel" that US Billboard did not consider the song to debut at #1. Can somebody clarify the sitch?
