Not to be mean, but I think rascall flatts will be number 1 because country music is popular in the US and their last 3 albums were number 1.

[autumnskies00]

I saw the coverart ahead of time so when I saw the fanart of the back cover I thought it was really it haha. It's pretty funny that you made that without knowing the coverart was using the same photo.

Their most recent album had a HUGE opening week.

If this compilation includes 'My Heart Will Go On' and songs already included in other compilations and played out on radio, I think I'm gonna barf!

Also most of the hits in the 90s and 00s

[Kyle_Jared]

As much as 'we' the fans can get sick of My heart will go on, its the biggest song in pop music history folks!  Or at least one of the biggest!  Deleting that from a title that boasts  "The essential collection" would be insane.  Plus the target audience for this album is the fans of course, but also the fans that may not be brave enough to buy a risky new album like "Taking Chances" (My father being a prime example),but love most of celine's  "Hits" and those who liked her stuff from early on until now.   Thus having MHWGO is a necessity.

On ITUNES the most popular Celine Dion tunes downloaded are listed as: "Taking Chances, I drove all night, Because you loved me and Alone"---maybe "Alone" could be a strong selling factor for this collection as many like it and it's performed on the tour as well?

I really think that this will be a massive seller, it is only us on the forum that care what is released and how it is released.

I believe all the people who liked and bought the old stuff, will swarm to get this. Thats why All the Way is selling well now.

My opinion but watch this space

[William2005]

This album will sell 60-90,000 opening week and around 400,000 total in the US IMO.

[Bruno Portugal]

An "Essential Collection" will surely include "My Heart Will Go On" and other hit singles massively played out on radio in the past. If not the album would be titled “The Collector’s Series Vol. 2”.

I just hope it will include all the real essencial songs of Celine's English career!  

[Kyle_Jared]

According to Itunes usa (the biggest determining factor for hits now) Celine 's top 12 songs in order are:

Personally I think its a GREAT line up, and I'd add the following after the top 12  

1.  Taking Chances
2.  Because you loved me
3.  My Heart will go on
4.  It's all coming back to me now
5.  Alone
6.  I drove all night
7.  The Power of Love
8.  Beauty and the Beast
9.  A New Day Has Come (Radio Remix)
10. I'm Alive
11. That's the Way it is
12. All By Myself
13. My Love (2008)
14. The Prayer featuring Josh Groban
15.  Where does my heart beat now?
16.  Have You Ever Been In Love?
17.  New Track
18.  New Track

I agree - All The Way is still really popular in the UK - they still have loads of the cds in music shops and stuff - I saw a lady buy a copy of ATW last week - i was very excited!!

I think that it will do well in the UK certainly, I couldnt say for the rest of the world.

I don't think that the Greatest Hits going to be sold less than Miracle. In the opening week, i predict that it will be sold  between 125,000-185,000 and 1,204,000 by the end of the decade.

Miracle had some promo in USA (Oprah, Regis & Kelly...); we don't know if the Greatest Hits will have promo, but if not it will sell around 50k like the Live In Las Vegas CD.

[dj_a_rock]

I'm only interested to the 2 new tracks. But most important is this is Celine's last album under Sony.

[Taking Chances]

Any news on when we will be getting some new information?

Yeah, if Taking Chances only managed 214,000 opening week with an Oprah appearance I don't see this one hitting more than 90,000 even with some promo.

Yep:

Billboard.biz:

Celine Dion's return to the pop scene, "Taking Chances," bows at No. 3 with 214,000. Her last proper studio album was 2003's "One Heart," which started at No. 2 with 432,000. (Since then she has released a number of French-language sets, a live album from her Las Vegas show and a concept album with baby photographer Anne Geddes.) ...

[Chula]

Top 10 is very good for an essential album. Don't forget it is not a studio album.

I guess ML will enter between number 5 and 10.

where? in the US or hong kong? cause if you think it will in the US, then you haven't been following celine's chart news in the US for the last 8 years. She is almost not being played at all there.

[Black Kitten]

while i am so positive that this compilation will perform well in the US and worldwide, i guess we should not expect too much from this album. it's just a greatest hits album after all. i'd be very glad if it will enter at anywhere inside the top 10. in japan, i don't know what's gonna happen since Complete Best had its moment in the charts few months back.

Pink and the Rascal Flatts will be the top competition.

I wouldn't leave out John Legend, too.

A Top 10 debut in the US would be more than enough for this album and if it reaches GOLD there by the end of the tour, it would be good considering that even 'popular and hip' artists like Mariah and Madonna with huge singles are struggling. As always, Sony would only send the single 'My Love' to AC radios and I don't expect anything from it. A Top10 showing there will make Sony happy

[Der_Griffon]

Well, if the album will include the will.i.am version of EOM then we deffinetley have a chance for it being a single, which may turn some tables in the US.

I agree, also it mgiht even get played on the radio, and it has sort of a hip hop feel to it.

If there are two editions of a compilation, I think it will be like ONCP with the 2-cd, 1-cd, 2-cd + dvd releases. If it is like that, I wouldn't mind getting all the editions as long as I'm happy with the tracklist as I was with ONCP (which is very unlikely with an anglophone compilation)
