Worldwide: 1,800,000

[wjd]

Its sold over 600k in the UK - shipments at least. What was the last hard sales figure we had for the album?

[Kyle_Jared]

USA: 435,000 soon GOLD!

UK: 540,000 soon 2x PLATINUM!

 

Worldwide: 1,800,000

 

Problem is the album isnt even certified in the U.S or UK yet!!!

[GoldenLeaf]

USA: 435,000 soon GOLD!

UK: 540,000 soon 2x PLATINUM!

 

Worldwide: 1,800,000

That's kind of weird.

[RLAAMJR.]

So the album didn't really sell well.

[GoldenLeaf]

Seems like the people working at the RIAA and at the BPI didn't do their jobs.

[Kyle_Jared]

It's the not the people at the RIAA or BPI recording associations that are responsible for certifying the albums. The record company and management needs to apply for the albums/records to be certified. Rene needs to get on this. "All the way" is currently at 7,920,000 sold (Should most definitely be certified 8x platinum).

 

Celine is too undercertified:

 

My Love: Should be Gold in the states and at least Platinum in the UK

All the Way: 8x platinum by RIAA and double platinum in the UK

Taking Chances: Platinum in Europe (has sold just over a million)

[Xpresso]

René is just waiting... and then BANG! We will hear "Celine Dion, who has sold 300 million albums...."

All The Way should be certified at least 9x Platinum in the USA (7.92m Soundscan + 1.1m BMG), and in the UK, the album has sold nearly 1.3m hard copies, and should be certified 4x Platinum. My Love should definitely be certfiied Gold in the USA, and double Platinum in the UK.

 

But along with Janet Jackson, Celine is amongst the most undercertified female artists in US history (over 10m albums undercertified)

I don't get that! apply for those damn things! and if you have to pay for them, so what!? It's not like they can't afford that

[RLAAMJR.]

I don't even see this album in music stores anymore.

 

I hope Rene would purchase a million albums for Celine.

[Xpresso]

I don't even see this album in music stores anymore.

 

I hope Rene would purchase a million albums for Celine.

 

He has already bought 200 millions....

[Black Kitten]

I don't even see this album in music stores anymore.

 

I hope Rene would purchase a million albums for Celine.

 

we're both from the Philippines. aren't we? the last time i checked MLUEC's availability, it's still very much available in ALL record shops i visited. it even went GOLD here for crying out loud.

 

and please give "Rene and all Celine fans should buy Celine's album nonstop" and "oh so the album is not selling well?" a rest. you've been posting that on repeat for the last 3 years already. aren't you tired of it?

 

it has sold almost 2M copies worldwide- no small feat in these times of declining music sales.

[RLAAMJR.]

I see "All The Way... A Decade Of Song" album and "These Are Special Times" album which I'm planning to buy again. Well , I make it a habit that I buy the Celine Xmas album every Year, at least 1 cos i believe Celine has a shot to make her Christmas album become the best-selling holiday album.

 

I really don't see her album, Maybe on some music stores. But in SM , i didn't see it.

 

I stick to "the album didn't sell well" cos if Celine could only have at least one song that reached the #1 spot in us billboard or in our local stations, it would sell more. Celine songs hasn't really invaded the charts.

[Xpresso]

Her albums have invaded the charts!!!

[Davey84]

THAT'S 4.342.000 IN TOTAL!!

 

I am pleasently surprised to see many old songs selling so much!

[wjd]

Outside her top 5 sellers, and the odd other surprise, those digital sales are not that good.

 

Also, with regards to this not selling well - you need to consider greatly the concept that greatest hits compilations, especially those from artists who have already released massive hits collections, do not sell in 2008/9/10, in quantities like before.

 

The album has shipped around 2.25m copies worldwide - only Madonna has shipped more with her Celebration compilation (2.4m copies). And Celine continues to re-enter the national charts across the world with this collection.

[boyblackuk]

My Love re-enters the uk charts at number 98 (up from 172 last week)

Goo celine

[Xpresso]

Interesting! Do you think all the media coverage for her babies has something to do with this?

[Davey84]

let's hope so!

[VinnyT.]

Interesting! Do you think all the media coverage for her babies has something to do with this?

 

No, in UK there was the "An Audience with" re-run

[wjd]

Yep, although news coverage does help to.

Oh, that's right. That would explain it...

I had forgot about it!

[Nmj]

These re runs are great for album sales.

[RLAAMJR.]

i think the birth of the twins also affected the sales of this album

Celine Dion chart history

[RLAAMJR.]

Gosh! that would mean one thing. Mariah and Madonna are more popular than Celine.

[wjd]

With her last two albums, Celine sold more copies than Madonna did. Celine has also grossed more concert ticket revenue in the US than Madonna this decade.

 

The reason that Madonna has sold more digital tracks than Celine is that she featured Justin on one, and 2005 was her big comeback record (Hung Up). Celine has never been huge on singles
