Celine is an Icon but for different reasons IMO. For example:

- Sales of over 230m records worldwide
- Influence on new singers
- Changing the entertainment scene of Las Vegas
- Passing francophone music into every major market worldwide
- Her enduring voice and professionalism

I was expecting more of this in the article above and I hope these facts are mentioned before she accepts her award!...

Didn't like this article that much, feels like if I wouldn't be a fan they wouldn't convinced me with these facts, she is much more then that

[browseceline]

Why are these artists underlined and Celine not..

She's so cute!



I'm confident they'll be great.  And don't worry, seems there's a proper string section.  Maybe not a full orchestra, but a number Celine's string players posted about the performance / rehearsal on FB. So no, it's not just Lindsey.  I imagine they'll do an arrangement that's a mix between the 'studio' version and the current Vegas one.  Or at least let us hope that is the case!

As long as she doesn't fall, I totally agree with you!

[Shamrock_1982]

You forgot no technical f*** ups!!!

That's my biggest worry...

It'll be interesting to see how the single moves in the charts, around the globe in the next 48 hrs!

Don't get your hopes up, this ain't Quebec.
I don't think any other tribute can ever top that or even come close.

I think there will be a huge affection and support for Celine from her peers and the audience- the past months and what's happened made everyone feel for her and I think we'll see lots of celebrities interact with her and give her their love. I hope she works it

[Peppercorn1991]

She will get an introduction video.... All the other Icon award winners all did and they were really well done!

As far as we have seen so far.... The billboards have really been kind to celine.... I think her intro will be epic!

Pray everything goes right!!

While her music may be divisive, I think she is unanimously very deeply respected in the industry.  For her attitude, professionalism, longevity, raw talent and consistency in high-level live performance.  It may have been fashionable to hate on Celine a while back, but I think that sentiment is waning now that there's an entire new generation of artists that was weaned on her and considers her an influence.
I mean, just look at the list of Top Female Artist nominees: Adele, Ariana Grande, Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, Rihanna... all self-professed Celine fans, right? (Albeit some more vocal about it than others!)

Ask Billboard: Celine Dion's Career Sales & Biggest Hot 100 Hits
Hi Gary,

It's so great that Celine Dion will be honored with the ICON Award at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards and will perform Queen's "The Show Must Go On." I love Celine and I'm glad that she is going on with her music after her husband died, and that Billboard is honoring her.

I'd like to ask about her sales numbers. Could you please run down her best-selling albums? That would be a real treat for the fans who support their icon – and Billboard's – so much.

Thanks,
Patricia Velasquez

Hi Patricia,

The crowd at the T-Mobile Arena is certain to give Dion the warmest of welcomes tonight, not only given the difficult year she's had, but also for her legendary career.

In her honor, let's rank her best-selling albums in the U.S., according to Nielsen Music. At 52.5 million, she ranks fifth among all artists for the most albums sold domestically since Nielsen began tracking sales in 1991:

10.8 million, Falling Into You (1996); 9.6 million, Let's Talk About Love (1997); 8.1 million, All the Way…A Decade of Song (1999); 5.4 million, These Are Special Times (1998); 4.6 million, The Colour of My Love (1994)

3.3 million, A New Day Has Come (2002); 2.4 million, Celine Dion (1992); 1.8 million, One Heart (2003); 1.2 million, Unison (1990); 1.1 million, Taking Chances (2007)

Notably, the 1997 Titanic soundtrack is not classified as a Dion album, although it was fueled in large part by her smash, and two-week Billboard Hot 100 No. 1, "My Heart Will Go On." The set has sold 10.2 million.

Speaking of the Hot 100 … let's talk about the love she's felt on the tally since arriving with the No. 4-peaking "Where Does My Heart Beat Now" more than 25 years ago. Here's a look at Dion's 10 best-performing Hot 100 hits (and their peak positions and years; the ranking includes all 10 of her Hot 100 top 10s):

1, "Because You Loved Me" (No. 1, six weeks, 1996)
2, "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" (No. 2, 1996)
3, "The Power of Love" (No. 1, four weeks, 1994)
4, "I'm Your Angel" (with R. Kelly; No. 1, six weeks, 1998-99)
5, "Where Does My Heart Beat Now" (No. 4, 1991)
6, "My Heart Will Go On" (No. 1, two weeks, 1998)
7, "That's the Way It Is" (No. 6, 2000)
8, "If You Asked Me To" (No. 4, 1992)
9, "All by Myself" (No. 4, 1997)
10, "Beauty and the Beast" (with Peabo Bryson; No. 9, 1992)

Celine Dion's top 10 Billboard Hot 100 hits are based on actual performance on the weekly Hot 100, through the May 28, 2016, ranking. Songs are ranked based on an inverse point system, with weeks at No. 1 earning the greatest value and weeks at No. 100 earning the least. Due to changes in chart methodology over the years, certain eras are weighted to account for different chart turnover rates over various periods.

Hey guys. Can it be seen online? Where? And when exactly does that show start - local time.
Thanx.

[Shaun]

So who's ready for the forum party tonight? So excited!

[flutefreak]

If anyone can put up a link tonight that would be great and I'm sure there are lots of us who would be greatful. I'm afraid I might miss it, I hope she's towards the middle to the end.  I have a family thing and if it's true that she's singing 4th I won't see it.  Hoping to catch it!

[stevo]

How can we watch it in uk? I'm gonna have to set an alarm! Can't miss this xxx

[mirage]

Hell yes to legs and heels!!

I hope she uses a mic standard! It makes her look sexy, and she can uses her arms haha

And pleaseeee no problems with ear monitors etc!!!

She doesn't need to prove herself anymore, but somehow I feel this could be her "comeback" to the audience and "new" fans.

She now can show everybody what a real diva is :-)
