Ago, now has over 8.5 million views!!
  

Here are some other previous achievements and facts, of the iconic “My Heart Will Go On” that I hadn’t posted in this topic yet:

• “My Heart Will Go On” the timeless, original music video released in Nov. ’97 not only peaked at #1 on the successful, long-running Canadian music video countdown show- “MuchMusic Countdown”, the music video also had a impressive run on the countdown for several months in ’98, from 2/6/98-4/17/98!
  
• Did you know that “My Heart Will Go On” was actually the LAST #1 music video ever aired on MTV’s official weekly Top 20 countdown? That was surprising, as Celine never had a music video make the countdown until 1996, as she received much more video play on VH1 than MTV. The MTV Top 20 music video countdown first aired in 1984!, and ended in 1998 with Celine being the last #1 music video! “My Heart Will Go On” was actually the #1 most played video for SEVERAL weeks in ’98! MTV later went on the begin the MTV TRL daily Top 10 music video countdowns.

• Celine’s “My Heart Will Go On” was named the #1 best song of 1998!, on MTV Asia Hitlist!
  

Recent honors for “My Heart Will Go On”-

• The website- When Things Go Pop, recently named “My Heart Will Go On” one of Celine’s Greatest Pop Moments!, in a article released in 2023, and they stated “Dion and Cameron made history with the most commercially successful pairing of song and movie ever. The song, on its own, is a powerful tribute to never-ending love.”, as well as saying “My Heart Will Go On” solidified Dion as a legend.”!
  
• WatchMojo.com, which has over 25 million subscribers, recently this yr. named Celine’s “My Heart Will Go On” one of the top 2 movie soundtrack songs of all time!
  
• Celine’s “My Heart Will Go On” was named the #1 song on Forbes new list of the “15 Celine Dion songs that stand the test of time”, just released this year!
  
• In Aug. of this yr., the respected website American Songwriter, and the long-running magazine said “Soundtrack cuts don’t get much more iconic than Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On.” Featured in the timeless retelling of the Titanic sinking, this ballad acts as the emotional core of this love story.”, and “We’d find it hard to believe there is a ’90s kid out there who doesn’t know this ballad by heart. Moreover, we’d feel safe saying almost everyone in the world knows this instant classic.”, and also said in Nov. ’23, “Her heart will go on (and on and on) It wouldn’t be a proper celebration of Dion’s legacy without taking a moment to honor perhaps her career-defining hit: “My Heart Will Go On.” The song anchored the soundtrack to the blockbuster film Titanic in 1997, but has since gone on to live its own life as a standalone success. Dion always closed her Vegas residency with the iconic ballad. It was a must-see moment on every one of her post-Titanic tours. And now, as she soldiers through her heartbreaking diagnosis of stiff-person syndrome, the song represents both Dion at her very best and serves as a reminder to all her fans of her strength, tenacity, and unending impact on millions of hearts around the globe.”
  

 

What a classic, iconic song Celine gave our world! She is such a blessing from God!

 

Looking forward to more achievements to come! This song only gets more loved & appreciated over time!

And MHWGO is the most streams Billboard hot100 no.1 of 90s in US even without official mv in her channel untill 2023

[celine2199]

The unbelievable success of MHWGO has always been downplayed by the industry,the media, the critics, and even Céline herself and some of her fans.It literally is the biggest hit in music history, it is the best-selling song and most played song in music history, if you call it the most known song in huamn history you aren't exaggerating... it reached a peak no song had ever reached before, and no song ever will,at least in foreseeable future... I may be a little tired of hearing it for a million times,But I can't deny it's still the most beautiful song in the world,the otherworldly emotional explosion at the climax still gives me goosebumps every time I hear it...

[Dion my heart Barbra]

Yes, it's the most successful song in history, as even Celine's haters Chartsmaster have to recognize it  after underrate its sales and involved album, streams number.

It's at least as equivalent as over 64 million album or 640 million records or 96 billion audio streams

If we consider the current situation, where 1500 plays = 1 unit sold, we would have:

1998
ALBUM LET'S TALK ABOUT LOVE 31 million copies (album with 16 songs) total album streams = 46,5 billion plays per song x 16 songs = 744 Billion 
Single My Heart Will Go On 18 million copies= 18 million x 1500 plays = 27 Billion 
Album Titanic 30 million copies (45 billion plays just for My Heart Will Go On)

Total plays for only My Heart Will Go On = 118,5 Billion

This is insane, huge?

How many albums has Céline sold more or less?

More than 220 millions that is for sure.

Yes! 

According to updates from Sony Music:

1999 - Commemorative plaque for surpassing 100 million albums sold.
2004 - 175 million albums (Diamond Award)
2012 - + 220 million albums (Before the release of Sans Attendre album)
2015 - + 250 million albums (This is the latest update made by Sony) And according to the documentary I Am: Celine Dion, Celine sold over 250 million albums with 27 albums.

So it's very clear that Sony doesn't count sales of the first albums in French (which were released by another record label) and also doesn't count compilation albums.

Thank you so much rodrigofreitas.
If I have understood correctly, it is depends of Sony Music to update the sales. They have to pay for that right?
Thank you very much again for your kindness and for the updates.
Good job!
All my best wishes 🫂💐💯

It depends on Sony releasing the current numbers. Because they control sales and streaming worldwide, they know how many copies Celine sold globally.
 But if we think about it, the last sales update for the public was in 2015, René was alive then... he always cared about numbers, but we've noticed that Celine didn't.

Sony doesn't need to pay anything to update the numbers to the public; it just needs to report how much it sold. The record label needs to pay to issue music sales certificates in each country, such as in the US with the RIAA, which costs $350 per certificate.

Have we ever gotten a completely orchestral live version of her singing MHWGO?

I think there's a few times :

Academy Awards 1998:

Grammy Awards 1998:

 A concert for world children's day 2002:

 

[asmith]

I love the ones where she’s improvised a bit and sung some parts a little bit differently (I think she’s probably sick of this song and usually just sings it on auto-pilot.)

 

#1 - Stockholm 17th June 2017 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cwaOXaXan8

The way she does the “near, far” at around 2:22 give me chills

 

#2 -  her Vegas Opening Night on 27th August 2015 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhjbZa7rHFU

Especially the ending ( from 3:03) and the way she does a higher “I fear” at 2:33 - maybe a mistake but I like it. 

She also comes in a bit late on the “You’re here” at 2:26. 

 

#3 - Billboard Music Awards 2017 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHUDqk724rg 

The way she did “open the door” at 1:23, “once more” at 2:45, “on and on” at 3:05.

But I think the climax section is dubbed with a pre-record backing track. 

 

#4 - Oprah performance in 2002
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQ-WydWV-Xk 

Sang in the original key but softer on the 2 high notes (“nothing” 1:42 and “forever” 2:01).

As if!”, and “In an era where soundtracks were unstoppable forces in pop culture, these compilations served up A-to-B sides filled with bangers across every genre and then climbed the Billboard charts; scored major Grammy and Oscar recognition; and took on a life outside it’s concurrent film. So now, when you think of Titanic, it’s almost impossible not to belt out Celine Dion’s ‘My Heart Will Go On.”  And, even more impressively, they chose the Titanic soundtrack as their final, greatest movie soundtrack of the ‘90’s, saying “Our hearts- and this melody- will go on.” And “Essential track: You’re kidding, right?” 😂

The website said: “Celine Dion’s ‘My Heart Will Go On’ from the movie “Titanic” is a timeless classic that evokes strong emotions. The song’s popularity has made it one of the best movie songs ever created, thanks to Dion’s exceptional vocals and the songwriting talents of James Horner and Will Jennings.”

·       In 2026, popular website www.Harpersbazaar.com released their top 10 best Celine Dion music videos, and “My Heart Will Go On” was ranked in the Top 2 as the runner-up, saying: “The original music video, released in 1997 and directed by Billie Woodruff, intersperses romantic Titanic clips of Jack and Rose (Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet) with videos of Dion. (You can see how Broadway’s Titanique came to be here.) Dion performs on the decks of the Titanic against a beautiful twilight sky, with several shots of her standing where Jack shouts, “I’m the king of the world.” Dion, in fact, is the queen of the world. The best part of the music video occurs when she belts out, “You’re here, there’s nothing I fear,” toward the end of the song, with a zoomed-in shot of Dion, her hair flowing in the wind.

·       In March of ’26, popular website www.pastemagazine.com released their list of “The greatest Best Original Song Oscar winners”, and stated “Here are 15 Oscar-winning songs that transcend the films they were made for.” And said: “18 million worldwide sales and four Grammy wins (including Record of the Year and Song of the Year) doesn’t do “My Heart Will Go On” enough justice. The song was a #1 hit in 30 countries. 30. Mind you, Billboard only measures chart stats in about 40 countries. That’s how big “My Heart Will Go On” was three decades ago. Celine Dion, who is, undoubtedly, one of the most talented and beloved singers in the history of recorded music, gave Titanic its soul.” They went on to say “...My Heart Will Go On” is a glass-shattering pop cultural treasure. Not only is it responsible for one of the greatest key changes ever, but it’s become Dion’s signature tune, an impressive feat”

Such a classic, masterpiece song Celine has giving our world! Celine and this song is such a blessing from God! What a legacy, with more exciting achievements and ongoing love for “My Heart Will Go On” that will continue to go on and on! 💙

One thing I've always wondered was why after the 90s she lost the ability/and or stopped holding/belting the final "on".  It seems like she even started to stop holding it in late 1998/1999 or so and on the LTALT there is an effect on the microphone that extends it. 

In the 1997 performances she almost belts the on like on Rosie or Unicef. 
 

Its just interesting to me. Maybe they thought it was better softer.

For me, the softer “on” in the end with echoes and reverbs is better.
