mike_z Posted December 7, 2012 at 02:26 PM Posted December 7, 2012 at 02:26 PM I didn't think this album would do that well. I didn't like it that much the first time but it's definitely growing on me. Hope the English album could share the same success. Those are 2 of my favorites! Me neither!! First listen it was OK. I had some issues with some of the songs.. I skipped them. And now I loved them all! It usually happens the other way, first like them, then after a while I skip them! This album is addictive, very very good, connects with your deepest emotions. I think all the promo had to do with it, talking about each song, giving them LIFE! She should do this every time! 1 Quote

NOW Sony needs to act quickly, this album has the potential to become a massive success. But they need to release a new single right away with heavy promotion, great video and appear everywhere. Perform it at least 10 times on tv and on her Vegas show, release the album in the US, and do 4 isolated concerts, 2 in Paris, and 2 in Quebec. Big Arenas promoting the new album and the old french hits. A la "Au Coeur Du Stade". Then we would be talking about the new D'EUX. Céline's huge comeback! 2 Quote

Yes, but let's not forget the Diamond threshold has been halved since the 90s, she only needed to sell 500k rather than 1 million! Quote

I would die if she would actually do some of SA in Vegas I think the only one she would do is PAMP. She should do much more...I think she would be surprised of the response??? 1 Quote I have had the time of my life following this woman! Much love.

However, that has happened, because sales crashed.... So in relation it is like selling 1 million... I guess many people illegally downloaded the album... So it may be just as wide-spread...

chocolatechip15 Posted December 8, 2012 at 02:45 AM Posted December 8, 2012 at 02:45 AM This album reminds me very much of D'Eux less because of the commercial success than because it is such a personal, intimate album -- one where the songs and the album as a whole express a sense of Celine as a person. And the songs are really, really good - both in terms of melody and of lyrics. Yes, the promotion has been good, but I think people are buying it mostly because it's a really good album. I don't understand why they haven't released it in the US - I had to get it thru Celine's website. Quote
DionFanAlways Posted December 8, 2012 at 03:34 AM Posted December 8, 2012 at 03:34 AM ^ I know I would like to see what it would do in the U.S. Quote I have had the time of my life following this woman! Much love.
pat200 Posted December 8, 2012 at 05:29 AM Posted December 8, 2012 at 05:29 AM The numbers worldwide are fantastic! I saw that Diamond certification in France coming maybe next week. Smart move Sony France. So I think so far with the 500k in France, 240k in Canada, and the success it had in other francophone countries, the album must have been shipped at a minimum of 850k worldwide. That is just amazing! All that with a French album!! Quote

Now let's hope for a massive 3rd single, so the album continues doing well into the new year and, why not, reach that million plateau. Quote
LuisMa Posted December 8, 2012 at 10:33 AM Posted December 8, 2012 at 10:33 AM On MediaTraffic, Sans Attendre moves up to number 17 from 26, with an excellent 83,000 copies for the week, a 16,000 improvement over last week. Quote
mike_z Posted December 8, 2012 at 05:16 PM Posted December 8, 2012 at 05:16 PM On the worldwide top 20, 1 month after its release, that's incredible! This is one french album that will surpass the million mark! Quote

Celinedion.com: ‘Sans attendre’ Certified Diamond In France We are happy to announce that Celine’s new album ‘Sans attendre’ has been certified Diamond in France with more than 500,000 copies sold!

Xpresso Posted December 9, 2012 at 12:57 PM Posted December 9, 2012 at 12:57 PM Which means the album is not platinum in France or what?? Certifications are albums shipped to retailers, not actual sales.237,231 is the actual number of albums sold. And I think it's probably a bit higher than that. Quote

If you're talking worldwide, then you're being obscene. MDNA has sold over 1.5m copies worldwide. Quote Céline Dion, music's greatest ever singer, the biggest-selling Canadian artist of all-time and most successful female live act ever - what's not to love?
Alex_Incognito Posted December 10, 2012 at 06:22 PM Posted December 10, 2012 at 06:22 PM Not to mention Madonna didn't do any promotion in France. Just 2 tour stops and a bonus performance at the Olympia. Quote "People pay 20-25 dollars to see you."- Céline Dion, 1990
