Celine is a living legend and icon in music, has one of the greatest voices in history, and has had an amazing and impressive career
full of hit songs, so many greatest hits that Celine has released several greatest hit albums that have had incredible success!!

Aside from the major hits that have soared to #1 on the charts, and broken chart and sales records, there's a huge number of really
amazing "deep cuts" found on Celine's albums that are truly top notch songs with phenomenal lyrics, melodies, vocals, and production!
Even though these songs weren't wide released singles or officially released as singles at all to radio, many have found success with streaming numbers on streaming platforms such as Spotify and YouTube!

Here are the most popular/top streamed "deep cut" album tracks from Celine on Spotify and YouTube Music that were never wide released singles:

Spotify- Top 9 most streamed "deep cuts"/fan favorite songs (as of January '24):
  • "Happy Xmas (War is Over)" - 148.1 million
  • "I Surrender" - 33.1 million
  • "O Holy Night" - 31.2 million
  • "I Love You" - 25.9 million
  • "When I Need You" - 17.1 million
  • "Lying Down" - 15.5 million
  • "Courage" - 14.7 million
  • "Ave Maria"- 14.5 million
  • "Dance With My Father" - 14.1 million
Honorable mentions: Both "Christmas Eve" and "Somebody Loves Somebody" have more than 10 million streams! and, "Just Walk Away" has about 8 million streams!

YouTube Music- Top 9 most streamed "deep cuts"/fan favorite songs (as of January '24):
  • "Happy Xmas (War is Over)" - 184 million plays
  • "I Love You" - 161 million plays
  • "Just Walk Away" - 149 million plays
  • "Love Doesn't Ask Why" - 105 million plays
  • "I Surrender" - 83 million plays
  • "How Does A Moment Last Forever" - 76 million plays
  • "When I Need You" - 55 million plays
  • "O Holy Night" - 34 million plays
  • "Dance With My Father" - 32 million plays
Honorable mentions: "If That's What It Takes" has over 21 million plays/streams, "Seduces Me" has more than 19 million plays,
"Ave Maria" has 16 million plays, "Lying Down" has over 15 million and "Somebody Loves Somebody" has more than 10 million!

Top 5 "deep cuts"/fan favorite songs on BOTH Spotify and YouTube appear to be:
  • "Happy Xmas (War is Over)" - combined streams/plays: 332 million!
  • "I Love You" - combined streams/plays: 186.9 million!
  • "Just Walk Away" - combined streams/plays: 157 millon!
  • "I Surrender" - combined streams/plays: 116.1 million!
  • "When I Need You" - combined streams/plays: 72.1 million!
I love all of these timeless songs! Several of the fan favorites here are Christmas songs that have gained more streams and radio airplay even without being released as an official single, such as "O Holy Night" and "Happy Xmas", and not too surprisingly both "I Surrender" and "I Love You" both are in the top 5 on Spotify and YouTube! Two songs that could have achieved incredible chart and sales success had they been officially released as singles!

What are your favorite "deep cuts"/fan favorite songs by Celine?  Did they makes these lists?

Love this thread !!! Could you maybe do it for every album too? I feel like that way it might be more relevant by era.

Thank you! Posted Image  I can try to research the most streamed songs from each of Celine's English language albums and post the results soon.

I forgot to list my personal "deep track" favorites, it's difficult to narrow down all of my favorites, but here's my favorite (in no particular order) "deep track" songs of Celine that weren't wide released singles in her career...
  • "Just Walk Away"  What a truly great, underrated ballad in Celine's career! The production and vocals are stunning!
  • "I Surrender"  The biggest missed opportunity in Celine's iconic career! If this would've been released as a single in 2002/2003, it would have been HUGE on the charts!
  • "Have a Heart"
  • Show Some Emotion"
  • "With This Tear"  Written by Prince for Celine, and the vocal delivery was one of Celine's best ever!
  • "Love Doesn't Ask Why"  I listen to this banger often! One of Celine's best songs!
  • "Seduces Me"  Just a phenomenal song!
  • "I Love You"  Great lyrics, and even better vocals!
  • "Fly"  This song is one of the most meaningful, inspiring, comforting songs! Celine truly sounds like an angel on this!
  • "I Don't Know"  one of my all time favorites
  • "Us"  The emotion and ache that Celine sings with is stunning!
  • "Right in front of You"
  • "Ten Days"  Such a cool, rock vibe and different style for Celine, but still her classic vocal sound!
  • "Prayer"  Celine sings with so much heart, beauty and passion and the lyrics and music and production are all amazing!
  • "Faith"  Such a soothing, refreshing, beautiful uplifting song!
  • "I Know What Love Is"   One of Celine's most unknown, under appreciated songs!  It's classic Celine is every way!
  • "Miracle"  This song is absolutely a masterpiece!  I wish it would have been released as a single from the Miracle album instead of "Beatiful Boy"!
  • "Fade Away"  This song is a perfect pop/rock song with great music, lyrics, and shows a variety of tones and styles in Celine's voice!  This song could've been a big hit on the radio if it would have been a single in 2007/2008!
  • "Somebody Loves Somebody"  One of the best songs on the "Loved Me Back to Life" album! Very upbeat and funky and cool, really fun to jam out to!
  • "Lying Down"  I listen to this song very often, still such a banger! the production and vocals are soooo good!
  • "Love of My Life"  like the song "Courage" the lyrics are so important to Celine, and she sings with such smooth, passionate, emotional vocals
And, I know "Is Nothing Sacred Anymore" is an unreleased song, but WOW! I love this song! The vocals are stunning!!!

I think that if I Surrender would have been released in 2002/2003 it would flop miserably. At that time, power ballads were totally out. Therefore they released IA and the remix of ANDHC which sounded current

If that’s the case then i think they should’ve released Sorry for Love as a single along with remixes.

Agreed. I believe this was a bigger missed opportunity.

Yeah i think they should have gone with SFL with remixes after IA. Maybe after that they could have released IS. With remixes too. Kinda like ANDHC album version vs radio mix. Right in Front of You could have been a great last single.

There were so many songs on ANDHC that were single material. Such a shame this album had such a short life

Funnily, I created for myself a "deep cuts" playlist on Spotify: https://open.spotify...83e84262bb34f80
Songs with streams between 700.000 and 1 million (knowing there are many more below 700k streams though). Since then, some have just crossed the 1 m threshold Posted Image

Nonetheless, if I had to choose one track (non single) per album since Incognito (studios only, excl. live, compilations, soundtracks, standalone), I believe that would be the following (in bold all time favorites):
- Comme un coeur froid
- If love is out of the question
- Piaf chanterait du rock
- With this tear
- Love doesn't ask why
- La mémoire d'Abraham
- Dreaming of you
- Where is the love
- En attendant ses pas
- Another year has gone by
- I surrender
- Reveal
- Des milliers de baisers
- My precious one
- Je cherche l'ombre
- This time
- Que toi au monde
- Thankful
- Toutes ces choses
- Perfect goodbye

Notable other tracks: Wicked games, La mer et l'enfant (live from Une seule fois), I knew I loved you, River deep mountain high (live from Live à Paris), Elle (live from A l'Olympia).

Some of the deep cuts that I've noticed have notable popularity and that people have really connected with are the following:

1. I Love You Goodbye
2. Love Doesn't Ask You Why
3. I Remember LA
4. Just Walk Away

Also people seem particularly attached to some of the lesser-known songs on the LTAL album like Miles To Go, Where Is The Love, and more. And speaking of deep cuts, thought I'd share this here too -- look what this contestant on The Voice France chose as their audition song Posted Image
