[Charts] The "My Love: Essential Collection" Era

[Chabby]

And it's the 38th best selling record of the year and 2nd best selling international release of Sony after AC/DC

[dj_a_rock]

I hope there wouldn't be a big drop after xmas.

[Timster]

I'm so glad this album is doing so well. It really is a fantastic achievement!

 

I hope history is repeating itself here, because in 1999, Celine released All The Way as a GH and that was a major success, then she took a break and her comeback album was also a huge success. Seeing as My Love EC has done so well, I hope her 2010/2011 comeback album after her 2nd break will be just as successful!

that would be great, let's hope

[Chabby]

I don't think she will have a big break now, after more than a year of hard work she is now back in the business, people now know that she is still alive so she has to keep her profile as high as possible and a break is not the best tool for that. We'll see.

that would be awesome! ANDHC was so fresh, joyful!

If she wants another baby, she will take a break straight after the tour and have it. She is almost 41, she can't leave it too late!

 

She really needs a break, too. She's been performing on a regular basis for the past 6 years! It's getting to the point where she just needs a year or two to chill out, but as you said she has to keep her profil as high as possible, so I'd imagine she'd still do TV interviews and specials, but just not a tour or anything like that. She needs to rest her voice and make a good album like ANDHC after she has her 2nd baby

[anewdayhascome]

yeah, she has to rest. She'd be happier and her voice will rest too

[stevo]

She has to rest but she doesn't have to have a big- "oh farewell, I'm going to meet life again and pick some more tomatoes" scenario again. She's done that. Why doesn't she just get on with what she wants- I don't want it all to be a repeat of 1999. Other artists don't announce that they aren't going to record two albums in the one year as is normal for Celine- they just go on holiday and do whatever. I'm rambling.

[Prince Whiskers]

I don't believe that she already got 'round to picking tomatoes.

I agree

 

Personally I think she should:

 

- Finish TCWT & live in Vegas home (until Florida home finished)

- Move to Florida

- Get embryos implanted

- Enjoy pregnancy, rest voice, chill out

- Do a US TV special while pregnant to keep her in the spotlight, maybe with some nice Miracle songs It will be cool to see her perform with a big belly for once!

- Have baby

- Record new album

- Release it and promote it properly without being tied down with Vegas or the Tour. For once she'll be free to do whatever she wants!

[manilou]

Isn't this the same discussion we had when Vegas was coming to an end?

I have a feeling the whole baby talk is just to make headlines once in a while. The sane thing would've been to take a break after Vegas and have a baby under 40. If she really wanted a baby she'd have done that, but she wanted a world tour and a new album.... More is gonna come.

[celinesafan]

It would be a pitty if this is her farewell, as her voice is still as powerful as ever and really should keep making music. However, I'm sure she did say in some or other interview that she is looking forward to live a "normal" life again and just do the day to day stuff that we all do. So I don't know, hopefully she meant it as a breack and not a farewell as such ...

[TWINQUIN]

i reckon if it were a farewell tour..she wld have said so tht everyone knows tht thy wldnt see her again in concert!! however i dont think she will do tour again on such a big scale.

[stevo]

We're getting off topic and it's my fault but I don't theink she'll ever retire fully, and certainly not now. No way. Hose. Sorry for off-topic-GO ESSENTIAL COLLECTION! lol

[Davey84]

the only thing I would change is:

 

Personally I think she should:

 

- Finish TCWT & live in Vegas home Canadian Home (until Florida home finished)

well talking about the UC.... on the local radio station this morning when I just woke up, they played RDMH! they were promoting the album, and the 6th caller would win the cd! I didn't call, cos duh I have it, but I heard my father talking on the phone and I was like turns out, he was the 6th caller and won the cd (for me)

[IL_DINO]

Now a break? NO.

 

2010 is the year WITH olympic games in "her" country. 2010 is the year AFTER her break (nothing else than a "best-of").

 

I think she will come back with a new album (maybe 2009 a french album and 2010 with an new english album????) and THEN maybe another baby.

 

Dear Celine, whatever you want - Baby, album, break - I wish you all the best!!!!

Thanks max24!

 

I do hope it stays in the Top 20 in the UK this week!

The UK Charts - 1/4/09

I guess we were all expecting it to drop in the UK now xmas is over, but 21 is still fantastic seeing as it's been in 10 weeks!!

[stevo]

Good going- with any album, this is good and especially a GH

[Davey84]

yeah he is!

:yes: all the céline prices go from them directly to me! (I won the bio dvd and 2 tickets for Amsterdam last May with the same radio station )

Edited January 4, 2009 at 08:44 PM by Davey84

[destin139]

a tiny part of me was hoping that it might just have stayed top 21 but i cant complain - 21 after 10 weeks for a GH - im so pleased!!

[nepartezpas]

Anyone knows the UK sales? Including this week at #21, it should have passed the half million mark for sure.

And in the USA it's around 210,000, right?

[Kyle_Jared]

No. 21 at Ten Weeks is phenominal! It'll be interesting to see how January fares....if she quickly falls out of the Top 75 or lingers for a few more weeks.

 

Oh, and it has to have sold close to or more than 500K in the UK by now???

[lost84]

My gosh almost half of the sale in the UK

 

You guys up there are great
