mike_z Posted March 29, 2013 at 03:04 PM Posted March 29, 2013 at 03:04 PM According to LE JOURNAL DE MONTREAL Avec le succès de son plus récent album francophone, Sans attendre (1162 000 exemplaires vendus, dont 273000 au Québec, en date du 15 mars), on se demandait bien quand Céline Dion allait pouvoir donner un spectacle dans sa langue maternelle, elle qui est encore bien occupée par sa résidence de spectacles à Vegas et la préparation de son prochain album anglophone. It's a lot more than we could ever imagine! This album has already surpassed 14&4T and who knows where it will end! Let's hope QPVSA will bring some fresh air! Quote
wjd Posted March 29, 2013 at 08:47 PM Author Posted March 29, 2013 at 08:47 PM I now estimate that its shipments total between 1.25-1.3 million. She's still the queen of pop. 3 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?
mike_z Posted March 29, 2013 at 11:28 PM Posted March 29, 2013 at 11:28 PM (edited) I now estimate that its shipments total between 1.25-1.3 million. She's still the queen of pop. So Wayne, what's your new guess for global shipments at the end of exploitation? I would say 1.5 assured... and 2 millions if we're lucky and she releases 5 singles... concerts in Québec (already confirmed) and a mini tour in France, Belgium and Switzerland! And 2 millions, considering the drop in sales, would be like selling as much as SISDA did 14 years ago, and without all the Titanic buzz! Edited March 29, 2013 at 11:28 PM by mike_z Quote
garçon Posted March 29, 2013 at 11:32 PM Posted March 29, 2013 at 11:32 PM I once mentioned in this topic.. not long after the release, that this album could outsell Madonna (the other biggest selling female artist in music history) her latest English release (..approximately 1,5 million copies sold for MDNA according to wikipedia).Some people called me nuts... Whereas now -at least- 1,5 seems feasible... 1 Quote
wjd Posted March 30, 2013 at 12:00 AM Author Posted March 30, 2013 at 12:00 AM She's currently selling less than 5,000 copies per week, worldwide. And the new single has yet to have any positive effect on the album's performance in France, despite being sent to radio. I don't know if it will experience another sales surge, but even if it doesn't - it doesn't matter. Its done the business already. 1.25 million copies is an outstanding finally tally [should this be the finally tally]. Its still 500,000 copies short of what Madonna's album sold, so you're still talking nuts, garcon! 1 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?
lyn Posted March 30, 2013 at 12:18 AM Posted March 30, 2013 at 12:18 AM So I'm still stuck in the 90s, pre-downloading language of album buying.. how do these numbers compare this day and age to LTAL's 20 million?

isurrender Posted April 23, 2013 at 12:10 PM Posted April 23, 2013 at 12:10 PM Who would have thought that Sony knew the words " right timing"? Along with the press release for her concert in France (which is everywhere in the mediaS! Never saw an artist announcing concerts being on headline news like she is right now) , SA is on special offer on Itunes ( 6,99 euros) and stands currently @ #77 ( album was out some days ago). 5 Quote
LuisMa Posted April 26, 2013 at 05:51 PM Posted April 26, 2013 at 05:51 PM I hope that they're saving the best for last and "Attendre" will finally see the light as single to coincide with the European mini-tour. That would be the icing on the cake! 3 Quote

That would be the icing on the cake! Wouldn't it be great if they released Je n'ai pas besoin d'amour in Quebec in June/July to coincide with the show, then Attendre in Europe in October/November for the tour?! 1 Quote
LuisMa Posted April 29, 2013 at 10:57 AM Posted April 29, 2013 at 10:57 AM Sans Attendre is currently at number 44, while D'Eux is at 81 on the French iTunes chart. Seems the "The Voice" performance of "Vole" has aided both albums. 1 Quote
uk28uk28 Posted May 28, 2013 at 07:40 PM Posted May 28, 2013 at 07:40 PM Big raise of the French charts: Sans Attendre is #25 with 3,790 albums sold (including digitals). I believe this is due to Mother's Day but not only. 2 Quote

garçon Posted July 29, 2013 at 03:39 PM Posted July 29, 2013 at 03:39 PM It has been a while since this topic was brought up... According to a poster on the UK MIX Forum (quoting the Journal de Montreal, without a link) SA would have sold or shipped approximately 1.364 million in the world.http://www.ukmix.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=91624&start=1950 If this is true, than that's an enormous feat. I guess even unprecedented in this era. Imagine this album hitting 1,5 million... Quote
Davey84 Posted July 29, 2013 at 07:05 PM Posted July 29, 2013 at 07:05 PM that is damn good! I wonder if the buzz from the Une Seule Fois will generate a revivial of SA!

gafsa Posted July 29, 2013 at 10:37 PM Posted July 29, 2013 at 10:37 PM (edited) If they release a new version with at least one more extra bonus song i'm sure it would sold more than 1.5 million copy.

nuts2you Posted August 25, 2013 at 02:52 PM Posted August 25, 2013 at 02:52 PM well wait until Nov/Dec when she does concert in Paris and other places, this will really sky rocket them Quote
