Billboard just came out with their newest issue- Greatest Chart All Stars, The Greatest of all time.

Celine showed up not surprisingly on several of their lists!

Here is where Celine charted...

Billboard 200 All Time album chart-  Celine had 3 albums here: one in the top 25: #21. Falling Into You
and two more... #163. Titanic soundtrack, #164. Let's Talk About Love

Billboard 200 All Time Artists chart- Celine placed in the top 25: #23! She placed above artist such as: #37. Adele, #38. Elvis, #73. Aretha,
and #77. Beyonce!

Billboard Hot 100 All Time Artists chart- Celine placed at #82, due to having 4 #1 songs so far on the Billboard Hot 100! I was bummed that Celine did not place higher here, but of Celine's 4 #1's, they spent a total of 18 weeks at the top. Many other artists have spent more weeks at #1.
(On a side note, Sony music only released a limited amount of Celine's biggest hit: My Heart Will Go On, less than 700,000 copies in the U.S.A. to focus on selling more copies of the Titanic soundtrack, which topped the Billboard 200 Album chart for a still record-breaking 16 consecutive weeks, going on to sell over 11 million copies. Almost the entire shipment of My Heart Will Go On were sold out within the first two weeks on going on sale in February, 1998, during the songs 2 weeks at #1 on the Hot 100! It has been stated by many music insiders over the years, that if Sony would've released a minimum of 5 million copies of My Heart Will Go On in the U.S.A., all copies would have been sold, and Celine's biggest hit could have possibly spent up to 19 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100! Had this happened, Celine would hold the record for the longest running #1 of all time on the Billboard Hot 100! And she would likely have the #1 Billboard Hot 100 song of all time! At the time, Celine achieved the record for the Most Played song of all time on U.S.A. radio, first with a 116 Million audience in February '98, and then a 117 Million audience in March '98, according to Billboard. So this is a likely scenario, but we'll never know exactly.)  

Also, another fun fact... Celine currently holds the record on Billboard Adult Contemporary chart, with 88 weeks at #1!, including 21 weeks at #1 with A New Day Has Come, and 10 weeks at #1 with My Heart Will Go On!

Hope you all are excited to see Celine do well on these charts, like I was! God bless to all the Celine supporters here on this forum! I feel honored to be a member!

Celine is the Queen of AC charts. BYLM stayed at #1 for 19 weeks, a record she later broke with ANDHC.

Billboard announced today... The Greatest of All Time Top Holiday Albums chart

Celine's amazing Christmas album "These Are Special Times" released November of 1998, made the top 10 on the list, at
number 8   This incredibly successful album spent several weeks at #1 on the Billboard Holiday Albums chart, and has to date spent more than 270 weeks on the chart. Just this month, the album was in the top 25!  

The album is also one of the best selling Christmas albums ever, and has given the world classic hits and favorites such as- Celine's version of "Happy X-mas (War is Over)", "The Prayer", Celine's version of "O Holy Night" and "Don't Save It All for Christmas Day". The album has sales of more than 15 million worldwide, and is currently certified 5X Platinum by the RIAA, and is eligible to get certified 7X Platinum (hopefully this year, if Team Celine makes the request).

Celine is included on two other albums in the top 40 on this chart, that lists the top 100 Holiday Albums of all time!
"Now That's What I Call Christmas!" which includes Celine's "Don't Save It All For Christmas Day" is in the top 20 at #19, and "Now That's What I Call Christmas 2!: The Signature Collection" is at #37, which includes Celine's "O Holy Night"!  

Just wanted to share the news! Was happy to see Celine on this new chart!  "These Are Special Times" is such a great Christmas album, with so many pure, incredible songs!   Celine's vocals were so good too! Some of her very best vocals!  I would love Celine's team to promote this album more each holiday season since it's such a classic album!

It really is one of the highlights of her career. I want her to make a second one! but I guess maybe she thinks she did her best work

Glad Celine’s holiday album is getting some more recognition. I hope Celine’s team promotes it more this year.

For me, her album is superior to Mariah’s Merry Christmas album. Although, All I Want For Christmas Is You has undoubtedly become Mariah’s signature song and she will ride that wave every year.

The Carpenters Christmas albums are the best ever in my opinion. Karen Carpenter’s voice is like a warm fire.

Celine's epic version of "O Holy Night" from Celine's underrated, timeless Christmas album "These Are Special Times" was just named one of The 100 Best Christmas songs all of time, by the staff at Billboard!

Celine's amazing version of "O Holy Night" has reached the top 45 on the Billboard Holiday 100 chart, has sold over 500,000 pure digital copies in the U.S. (eligible for a RIAA Gold certification). Celine's "O Holy Night" performance from her first CBS TV special: "These Are Special Times" on her official YouTube now has about 3 million views and quickly growing (was finally just posted less than a year ago), and the song now has more than 16.5 million streams on Spotify!

This classic song's about the true reason for the season and meaning of CHRISTmas
Incredible song and lyrics. Fantastic, powerful vocals from Celine! Amazing, heartfelt performance from Celine on the TV special.
This song is mightily uplifting, divine, soothing and inspirational! It reminds me of this Bible verse about the birth of Jesus, and why Christmas is such an amazing holiday to celebrate: “For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” -Luke 2:11
