Celine’s career achievements

 

Celine Dion has sold over 47 million albums in the United States (according to RIAA), and 54 million albums in Europe, (making her the best selling female artist in Europe) according to IFPI. With over 185 million albums and over 35 million singles sold across the globe, she ranks as one of the biggest-selling female musicians in music history.

 

Dion is the most successful artist in Canadian music history.

 

Dion has sold over 14 millions albums in Canada (according to CRIA).

 

On September 15 2004, Dion received a Diamond Award at the World Music Awards show, for selling over 175 million albums during her career. Only one other female artist, Mariah Carey, has ever received the award.

 

She has an estimated wealth of between $320 million and $400 million (Hello magazine, 2002).

 

In 1998 she was honoured by two governments in two days: on 30 April her home province made her an officer of the National Order of Quebec, and on 1 May she became an officer of the Order of Canada.

 

Dion has received a star on the Canadian Walk of Fame in Toronto on 25 June 2003, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2004.

 

"My Heart Will Go On" has become the all-time best-selling orchestral soundtrack in recording history.

 

The French Album has sold over nine million copies worldwide, making it the biggest selling album in a language other than English of all time.

 

In the U.S., Celine Dion, Britney Spears, Madonna, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Shania Twain, and the Dixie Chicks are the only female artists with multiple diamond (shipped over ten million copies) albums.

 

On U.K. singles chart Dion has had two number ones, and thirteen top-ten and twenty-three top-forty singles. On the U.K. album chart she has had five number ones, and ten top-ten and fourteen top-forty albums.

 

On the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, Dion has had 5 number ones, and 10 top-ten and twenty-four top 100 singles.

 

On the U.S. Billboard 200 albums chart she has had 4 number ones and 9 top-ten albums.

 

Dion performed the hit single of the film Titanic, the second best-selling CD of the 1990s, and her albums Falling into You and Let's Talk About Love are both in the third position, having sold more than thirty million copies each.

 

In the United States, Céline Dion's song "I Drove All Night" from the One Heart album was used from 2003 to 2004 in an advertising campaign for DaimlerChrysler's Chrysler Group. The contract earned her a reported $10 million.

 

Dion is the only woman in history to have had two million-selling singles in the U.K. The first one was her U.K. hit "Think Twice" in 1994, which sold more than 1.2 million copies. The second one was "My Heart Will Go On" in 1998, which sold about 1.3 million copies in the U.K. alone. "My Heart Will Go On" is also one of the best-selling singles in music history with worldwide sales reaches 12-15 million copies.

 

In October 2005, with the release of On ne change pas, her French-language greatest hits package, Dion set a record for the sales of a compilation (in its opening week) in France. In a week, On ne change pas had sold more than 108,000 copies. The watermark for an album is Celine's own 1995 hit album D’eux/The French Album, which sold more than 600,000 copies in its first week.

Too bad Celine only has 4 no #1s.. I do hope she will have lots of no #1s...
