"Courage" album - Official Topic

[Xpresso]

I would have thought that they had her on the cover of all fashion magazines.

 

But nah she is everywhere when she has nothing to promote.

And when she does have the best album since years coming out, she is nowhere to be found.

She can't really decide what fashion magazines will put on their covers unfortunately.

But she should have gone out of her hotel in NYC with a really crazy outfit with the cover of her album on her head!! Now that might have worked to get the word out!

#2 in Australia! This is so much better than LMBTL (#9), TC (#12) and even One Heart (#6). Very surprised she did so well there!

[No1IrishFan]

i think i wanna dance when nobody is watching would work so well on stage, but she needs dancers..

Agreed this song would work well on the stage.... but no dancers. ‘I wanna dance like nobody’s watching’. Just the music, Celine and the spotlight. No dancers watching!

This is very good indeed!!!

 

#2 in both UK and Australia and #1 in the USA and Canada (presumably) that’s good news 👏🏻

[JulienMcbeal]

Sure!

 

1. Loved Me Back to Life

2. Somebody Loves Somebody

3. Imperfections

4. Water and a Flame

5. Breakaway (although Lying Down works very well in that spot)

6. Save Your Soul (Rap version feat Malcom Kelly)

7. Didn't Know Love

8. Thank You

9. Lovers Never Die

10. Nobody's Watching

11. Baby

12. Change My Mind

13. Best Of All

14. Heart Of Glass

So LMBTL wasn't such a bad album after all, was it?

 

But Thank You instead of Thankful is a big NO for me.

Thankful would go well with Look at us now and how did you get here.

there are so many good songs that just scream to be performed live!

Any gusses what new songs she will add? Honestly (And I can understand her)

I think she will want to go for the more easier songs to sing (Imperfection works like charm )

so Change my mind will be quite difficult to sing live :I

She charted better this time in australia and nz due to the reviving fans after her concert there last year. So to say, tour does help reaching out old and new fans

Yea. If this was a crap album I'd understand why she's "hiding" and not doing any promo for it. But this time we have an album critics praise (well by Céline standards) and Sony doing their job....

[Jeanette]

I’ve gotta say, I’m feeling the way I do after seeing her in concert...after all the buildup comes the real downer!! We waited so long for this album and although it’s brilliant, don’t get me wrong but I just feel a huge anti climax! Due in part to the album’s release going by with a whimper, here in the UK.

 

At least if she was doing promo there would still be lots of appearances to look forward to but there appears to be nada. It’s such a shame really!!

Yeah. I feel the same way.

[scielle]

The AMAs absence is truly incomprehensible.

[cdfan32]

That is because the priority is the tour. A copy of an album only sell for 20 usd. As a ticket can sell for 200+ usd. And Sony knows promoting the tour will kepp celine name as artist being alive. Also there is an upcoming celine movie next year. They probably consider launch a new album coincide with that?

 

Er what movie??

[scielle]

Er what movie??

 

MovieS

Plural.

Billboard chart is official: https://www.billboar...n-over-17-years

 

"Of Courage’s total unit start of 113,000, album sales comprise 109,000, SEA units equal 3,000 and TEA units total 1,000. Courage’s first week got a boost from album sales generated by a concert ticket/album sale redemption offer with Dion’s Courage World Tour.

Courage is Dion’s first English-language studio album since 2013’s Loved Me Back to Life, which debuted and peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 (dated Nov. 23, 2013). [...]

Dion has now collected No. 1 albums in each of the last three decades. She’s just the 13th act, and fourth woman, to achieve the feat. [...]

Dion had to wait over 17 years for her latest No. 1 between A New Day Has Come’s lone week at No. 1 on April 13, 2002 through Courage’s premiere. That’s the longest spell between No. 1s for a woman ever on the chart. [...]

Dion now has a lucky 13 top 10-charting albums on the Billboard 200."

Well, at least she impressed her kids. RC certainly doesn't remember the last time!

[fred]

Yaay!!

 

I didn't realize LTAL also did "just" one week at the number one spot. That's cool it did as good as that (when it came to holding the no 1 spot).

 

Between all the let down of the tour setlist and the lack of promo performing wise, we gotta take a momemt to take in that the album gets nice reviews and it's her first no 1 in 17 years!! 😄

 

Who knew she'd get there again! Well we hoped but still it wasn't that plausible. Bravo Céline!!!

Over the moon that the album got to number 1 in the USA. Even if she falls 50 places next week the history books will show this was a number 1 album! Edited November 25, 2019 at 12:36 AM by Shaun

Same! I took GoldenLeaf‘s playlist, and added Thankful, I Will Be Stronger, HDYGH, LAUN, and The Hard Way.

I’m currently listening — it’s as seamless as I hoped it would be. LMBTL did have some great songs, but the filler material weighed it down. I wouldn’t be opposed to Céline releasing more EP’s or mini-albums. It would give her more opportunities to experiment with different “costumes” and sounds without waiting for 10-20 good songs to roll in.

Yay to the #1! Such an amazing solid album. That's all I care to say anymore.

The belting parts of Change my mind are way difficult, unless she can lip those and we prefer that not.

[scielle]

She can't really decide what fashion magazines will put on their covers unfortunately.

 

It's her PR team's job to make sure they do. Magazine editors don't just put people on covers or write features out of goodwill. It takes work on the part of the artist's PR to make it happen.

This is so phenomenal.

We should all soak in this beautiful moment.

She deserves this praise.

I’m thrilled that the album hit #1 in the US.

I’m even more thrilled that the album is so darn good — and it was Celine who called all the shots!!

Our Queen is #1 right now!!!!

 

Fingers crossed lots of media outlets pick this up.

[scielle]

It's probably going to get lost in AMA coverage, unfortunately. And with streaming numbers as sad as they are... well, she really needs to promote it if there's any hope of chart longevity for this album. Doesn't look like stand-alone sales (outside of the ticket bundle) are all that strong.

[Cuquito]

Shame she’s not in the AMAs 😔
