"These Are Special Times" album - Official Topic

September 9, 2007 at 02:10 AM

I really think you guys are asking for a bit much, wanting a single released from an album that's already 9 years old...Collectors Editions are mainly made as a courtesy for die hard fans because it's a HUGE money maker when you have a fan base as large as Celine's and really, if someone is not a huge Celine fan and assuming that they haven't bought TAST when it was originally released or within the 9 years that it's been released, chances are they aren't going to buy it..and if they do, they wont spend the extra money for a CD/DVD edition, they will go solely for the original CD edition because why spend extra money if you're really not a huge fan and you're actually just looking for some nice Christmas music? I'm greatful that SONY is re-releasing TAST as they are...there's no reason to re-release it..it's just a nice gesture for us die hard fans as well as a money making tool for themselves.

Curiousity!? Has TAST been one of the top selling Holiday Albums for the past 10 years? Anyone provide some chart history?

I know at leat 6 Million copies have been sold according to RIAA.

Billboard has it listed (as of Jan '07) being on the charts for 110 weeks with the highest position being #1.

But that's all the information I could dig up.

What I would like to know is the sales and position on the Holiday Chart for each of the past 10 years.

Anyone?

I think the digipak packaging is beautiful and traditional.

It's funny reading all of the wishes of fans whenever something gets released. The more impossible, the funnier. Well, that's just the excitement

I wonder why they are not waiting until next year, which is the 10th Anniversary of TAST.

Maybe they are "striking the iron while it's HOT..."

Regardless, they have put much work into this album, by REMASTERING the tracks.

I wonder what else they could do to "perfect" it...

Although it does not seem logical for Sony to release a single from this album, if it were my way, I'd throw "Don't Save It All For Christmas Day" into the radio stations around the world. This song represents the Christmas and Holiday spirit. :wub: Without a doubt, this is one of the most beautiful songs ever written and ever sung - and Celine co-penned it.

Somehow the radio stations here always play Don't Save it All For Christmas Day even though it was never released as a single... BUT it was released on the promos, so maybe that's what they are getting it from?!

September 9, 2007 at 06:45 PM

And here in Brazil, don't even why too, but they always play Xmas Eve when the year is ending.

September 9, 2007 at 10:24 PM

thanks I can't wait for the new edition

Me as well... It seems like Christmas season is still far. I actually wanted to have a copy right now. But I really have to wai.t We all have to wait. First, her english lbum and then the Christmas album.

I hope, 2 new songs would be included and I would like one song to be" It's Christmas All Over The World"..... something like that...

It would be fine if they included the FULL song of OH! CHRISTMAS TREE (english and french version) sung for Walgreens ad or some unreleased songs (I MET AN ANGEL ON THE CHRISTMAS DAY)

Oh, now this would be an EXCELLENT idea! I know that this album already does very well at christmas time, but these editions would really help to boast it (and be nice for fans) and i looooooove the packaging, its a must have for me!!

Yes, she did. And I hope they will include it on the DVD, even if it's not on the Amazon tracklist :thumbsup2:

(From the Bonus DVD of the "These Are Special Times" Network TV Special)

this sounds odd - is the dvd of the new tast edition not the bonus dvd with the tast tv special?) Or is it just amazon?

September 13, 2007 at 03:14 PM

And, btw, if you look closer at the picture from amazone, there are exactly 9 tracks on the dvd, which means that the performance of tast won't be included, since amazone already lists the exact 9 tracks...

September 13, 2007 at 03:22 PM

I don't believe she sang TATSP, it was played over the end credits.

September 13, 2007 at 04:43 PM

She sang the end part and then the credits took over, but she did sing a little bit (playback). It'll probably still be on the DVD but since it was small its probably classed as the credits.

I really hope you're right, so that we have the whole entire special on DVD.

September 13, 2007 at 05:43 PM

It will be there for sure, cause it wasn't used as a stand alone track, but for the closing of the special.

Just as they used the TCOML instrumental on the dvd with the same name. :thumbsup2:

September 13, 2007 at 05:47 PM

Barnes & Nobel is releasing it the same day as "Taking Chances."
