It's almost Platinum (300,000 copies).

Oh, Gosh, this album is platinum already and I still ask about gold... That's a great result, isn't it? This is a compilation with 3 new songs only and it sells so damn great! Not to say anything about Je ne vous oublie pas single... I guess this song is going to become one of her biggest selling french singles ever? People are crazy about Celine Dion... They really love her. When I look at all these sales I just go coz this is just enourmously successful!

In Belgium and Quebec too. Don't expect a french greatest hits to be successfull abroad.
The french albums (of all artists) don't sell a lot in foreign countries and Céline is one (the only one?) of them to have entered charts in Greece, Netherlands, Germany.. and so on!
Sometimes even a french greatest hits isn't successfull in France (look at Helène Segara, Patrick Bruel... )

I think ONCP is a successfull GH in Italy, too. That's why Sony BMG decided to release "L'Intégrale" in Italy, too.

If you compare Céline's French GH (that stayed 2 weeks in Top 100, debutting at #54) to Shania's 2004 GH (that didn't debut at all last year, and she had videoclip and single in rotation on radios and TVs), you will see what I mean.  

French music has a specific market and it's hard to export (like for English and Spanish).

Yes I agree... but my answer was for Molegue who said she was successfull only in France.
Of course A FRENCH GREATEST HITS in foreign charts is very very very very great! She is maybe the only one to achieve such a thing! I don't remember ANY FRENCH ARTIST to perfom so well with their best of!

The compilation celebrating 15 years of "Les Enfoires".  

[Boy]

I hope this compilation's success won't last long... Celine's gonna back at #1 and make some    

[Ronny83]

In the official Italian music DVD chart compiled by FIMI/Nielsen "On Ne Change Pas" DVD debuts at #11 this week.      

And the DVD has no promotion at all in Italy.    It's an amazing score. I still can't believe it.

Is Celine part of this compilation? Celine had been on it twice.     and I like this show organized by JJG. but I heard JJG quit or end it?

I'm praying for a platinum certification from IFPI around Januray. Tous Les Secrets will definitely help in France, Belgium and Switzerland.
