"D'Elles" - on the charts!

[Celine-Express]

Wow!

Tancks for this info. !

[Davey84]

one comfort.. Céline is on the Dubois album too!

[max24]

"A Cause" should be released as the next single. It's a radio friendly song, and with a good video it could help the album sales. What are they waiting for?

[Say What?]

As usual they chose the wrong follow up single and now they're freaking out not knowing what to do. So typical... Edited June 21, 2007 at 12:43 AM by Say What?

[sayyed]

very sad in Canada...

 

I hope they decide to release A cause as commercial single. But I wouldn't be surprised if the D'Elles -era is at its end by now for Sony!

[Bullet]

No worries. It's not bad. In Canada, French albums don't stay on charts that long. Remember - Quebec is one thing but for a French album to stay in the TOP 10 for a month in a predominently English market IS GOOD! And in France, she's still in the TOP 5 and maintained the same sales as last week.. so what's the problem? She can't be #1 for a year! With very popular artists, the sales happen in the first few weeks and then drop out... Normal cycle....

[Shaun]

Yeah I think the figures for France and Canada are still good too considering Celine has been in Vegas for the whole time since the album was released.

 

It's quite clear now that Sony know they have a killer song with "A Cause" and are waiting for Celine's visit to Europe later this year to release it and that's ok, but it's also clear that "Immensite" was also the wrong choice for the 2nd single as by and large it's being ignored by TV and radio.

[max24]

She's down to #21 on the European Albums Chart.

[MichiG.]

Germany loves her, really.... last week # 52 this week -> OUT

[thevoice]

it doesnt mean people dont like her , it's the other way around actually

this album had no promotion at all outside of canada and france yet people still bought it and in some places the album even made it to the top 5 with no promotion at all!! just comes to show u what might happen when her record label starts promoting her , something that would probably never happen

 

edit : i still hope she'll do a suprise visit to france this summer...soon she'll have her summer break - i know she'll record the english album but she can still come to france for few days and promote DELLES...i also hope for some promotion in canada

Next time Celine's on Larry King Live and if he allows call-ins, I'm gonna ask Celine:

 

"Celine, are you aware that Sony Music is not doing their job in promoting you as an artist to the various international markets? They're cheating you, LADY!"

 

 

I wonder if Celine's even aware of this...

i dont know about celine but rene knows about it for sure yet he is not doing anything about it

it's suprising knowing how much he cares about her commercial success and how he is always the first one to announce she sold 1 000 000 000 000 000 copies from her albums the first week of their release

[max24]

She's out of the world chart Edited June 22, 2007 at 10:14 AM by max24

[max24]

She's also out of the chart in Poland :(

[ahmed]

she is out everywhere

[Say What?]

I don't understand why you guys tought she'd be on the charts forever when she's not even doing live interviews. Okay, she had a couple of TV specials but that doesn't cut it as far as promo is concerned. The best promo is being there in person. Last time she was in France, the media went crazy and she was on the news and everywhere they talked about Celine being in Paris. It isn't the case this time and obviously there's no good chart results. It was to be expected IMO.

[blue.grave]

The promotion for D'Elles outside France and Canada was kind of sad to see. But with all the fans giving the album rave reviews, including myself. This main reason that album is still around. I wished that Sony did a better job on the release of D'Elles in the first place. In the end there is nothing better then word of mouth advertising. lol. Edited June 22, 2007 at 04:57 PM by blue.grave

[smw]

This album isn't getting the backing it needs from Celine. She DOES need to be there live. In person. Doing interviews. Talking about this album daily.

 

Granted, she's Celine Dion, and no matter what, her albums will sell. But this could be a massive album. I'm hoping in July she'll do some more interviews - and the sales will pick back up. But, I also want her to stay in great condition to record more of her English album in July.

[manilou]

I don't think D'elles will be promoted. It'S more A new day , that is promoted with D'elles.

[kdw123]

I think they are trying to be low key with "D'Elles". Yes it is a great CD; however, they do not want the World to get tired of Celine before her English CD comes out this Fall which is why I think that this CD has not and probably will not be released in the US. That way, people aren't confused and don't get too much Celine that burns out the public before the English CD comes out. I think they released this CD before the English CD because of the France Concert Tickets going on sale and to give the fans a little bit of Celine before the BIG TIME PROMOTION IN THE FALL.

 

In my opinion, I think this is smart because if they keep Celine low key until the Fall and then have this massive explosion of Promotion for the English CD, AND DVD, AND Final Show and then promote "D'Elles" also at that time then that way people don't get tired of seeing her in the news. Of course we as fans do not get tired of seeing her, but sometimes the press can "burn out" the public.

that is logical and i'd like to believe that all the above is the reason for not promoting D'elles atm.BUT the album still needs a single and on s'est aime a cause should be released during summer, asap

[Teodora]

I'm not that surprised, D'elles is not at all a commercial album. It's a great album, but not commercial. Not promoted to much either. Sony said they're happy with 500,000 copies, she's already sold that...see where I'm going with this? From their point of view, the goal was reached. Edited June 22, 2007 at 09:23 PM by Teodora

[sayyed]

IMO D'elles is Celine's MOST commercial album out of all her french ones! See the package, 3 EDITIONS, Tf1 special was such a commercial, an very very radio friendly songs (2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12).

 

But i'm okay with it not being promoted as it maybe deserves. it's a fan favourite already, and that's all that matters. It was always that way: french = quality ; english = $$$

Listen everyone, it's quite clear Sony are not promoting this album or not promoting it properly at least but they are not entirely to blame. You cannot expect Celine to have prolonged chart success when she's till in Vegas. It's been proven in the 5 years that she's been there!! First single is a hit, album reaches the top, then quickly fades away. To sustain the success Celine has to promote her material herself and she simply cannot just now.

 

Don't get me wrong I would be the first to point the finger at Sony but they are not entirely to blame.

u r more than right about that

however even before celine was in vegas she had to do everything on her own...FIY and LTAL sold around 30 million each because celine was EVERYWHERE - all she cared about was promoting herself more and more and more . as for sony they didnt do a thing!!!! they released the wrong songs from LTAL , they released most of the songs only to the radio stations and forgot to promote it and obviously they just loved the fact that they had a working machine - celine will do everything on her own and we'll concentrate on our other artists - that's just wrong

 

now when celine was younger that's all she cared about...now she has her family too - we know rene and celine still care alot about record sales , we can see it cause she is working with the hottest producers out there and is seeking desperatly almost for a no 1 hit . however she is not 30 , she is almost 40 - she cant and she wont do one tv show after the other , she wont jump from one country to the other - she'll have her tour but as for the promotion of the album i'm not sure . she needs her record label more than ever now if she wants this album to be a steady seller . if we learned one thing during this past few years is that big one week sales doesnt mean a thing...the album can sell 500k the first week in the u.s and disappear in a matter of weeks . she needs radio hits and she needs her record label to push her songs , the right ones!!
