emi&celine Posted April 25, 2008 at 05:02 PM Posted April 25, 2008 at 05:02 PM We know that Pour que tu m'aimes encore remains Céline's best-selling French song. However, couldn't this amazing song be the best-selling French one of all time? #1 in France for 12 weeks, #1 in Belgium Wallonia for 15 weeks, #2 in Belgium Flandres, #3 in Netherlands and Sweden, #6 in Ireland, #7 in the UK and Poland. Do you know any other song that has charted as well as Pour que tu m'aimes encore? Quote
Legende Posted April 25, 2008 at 06:25 PM Posted April 25, 2008 at 06:25 PM I don't think she's the best-sellig song. Quote
ThisTime Posted April 25, 2008 at 06:33 PM Posted April 25, 2008 at 06:33 PM Hmmm. I haven't a clue. It would be interesting to know though Quote http://i.imgur.com/MfrTohK.gifMy Twitter || My Tumblr
Fran Posted April 25, 2008 at 07:06 PM Posted April 25, 2008 at 07:06 PM Who care is the best selling, we all know that it is the most known, that's the important!!! and of course it'a one of the best celine song ever Quote
CelineFanInSoCal Posted April 25, 2008 at 07:30 PM Posted April 25, 2008 at 07:30 PM I've heard this before. The album D'eux remains the #1 best selling Francophone album of all time and PQTME is the best selling and most popular song in French recording history. Just something interesting, I found this about D'eux: D'eux is the best-selling French album in history. It has sold over 8 million copies wirldwide, including 4.4 million copies in France alone. D'eux spent 44 consecutive weeks at the top of the French Albums Chart and 2,5 year on the whole chart, breaking all records. Dion's next album Falling into You released a year later, entered the chart in France at second place, since the first one was still occupied by D'eux. In Belgium Wallonie no other album spent as long as 37 weeks at number 1, nor 131 weeks on the chart. D'eux was also number 1 in Switzerland (for five weeks) and Netherlands (two weeks). Although a French record, it charted on many non-French speaking countries like the United Kingdom where it peaked at number 7 (a record for a French release in the UK). D'eux became the first French-language album ever to be certified gold in UK as well. And the information you've posted about PQTME appears to be accurate, too. I don't think it's been topped by any other artist since it's time on the charts. It's obviously one of Celine's signature songs, and for a reason. Quote

grobandion Posted April 25, 2008 at 08:21 PM Posted April 25, 2008 at 08:21 PM I doubt anyone will ever top that record, because people just don't buy so many CD's anymore. That was back in 1995, nowadays 8 millions copies for a french CD is impossible to achieve by anyoneI don't think neither "D'Eux" nor "Pour que tu m'aimes encore" are her best french album and song, but they're great.

CelineAndRene Posted April 25, 2008 at 09:28 PM Posted April 25, 2008 at 09:28 PM I don't care about the sellings... It's just a BEAUTIFUL song! Quote "...It's the circle of life.

Black Kitten Posted April 26, 2008 at 01:21 AM Posted April 26, 2008 at 01:21 AM (edited) i always thought D'eux is so overrated. i mean this is definitely not as boring as D'elles, but for some reason, the emotions on most songs is lacking. give S'il Suffisait D'aimer to me anyday. about PQTME, c'mon this is her mammoth. leave it there.

She even introduces PQTME as the biggest song of her French career during the AND show. Nowadays that online downloads count towards records sales, it is potential, however I still highly doubt someone else could do the same thing Celine did... Quote
SensationalCeline Posted April 27, 2008 at 12:00 AM Posted April 27, 2008 at 12:00 AM This is probably one of my most favorite french songs that she has recorded even though I don' understand a word of it.

Chula Posted April 27, 2008 at 05:26 AM Posted April 27, 2008 at 05:26 AM PQTME is the 100th best selling song of all time in France. This surprises me a lot! I read from IFPI site. Quote
CelineRox Posted June 16, 2008 at 07:05 PM Posted June 16, 2008 at 07:05 PM Did it really get to number 7 in the UK? Quote http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm31/celinedion82/Emilylove-signature-1.jpg
Linn92 Posted August 7, 2008 at 06:56 PM Posted August 7, 2008 at 06:56 PM I thought it was on the Norwegian top lists, but I can't find it I've seen it b4... #1 How many weeks.. I don't remember Quote

Dion-Mania! Posted February 14, 2012 at 03:38 AM Posted February 14, 2012 at 03:38 AM Hey this is my maiden post. Still not fully sure how to navigate the site, so I hope i do this correctly!Pour Que Tu M'aimes Encore is the song that got me into Celine when I heard it on the French channel TV5 way back in the 90s. I was instantly blown away. So i thought it apt to make my first post about this treasure of a song. I'm sure the song has been discussed before, so forgive me Here is Celine's best live performance of the song and a few alternative versions thrown in! I think Jay Brannon's version is so cute and a quirky tribute to Celine. Lara's is breath-taking. Her vocals are pristine and I loved that she changed the music. Helana's Greek version is great too. (The last link contains Celine's version aswell as Helena's. Skip 4mins in to hear Helena's). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=altA7Fh2IKY Quote
CelineAndRene Posted February 14, 2012 at 05:43 AM Posted February 14, 2012 at 05:43 AM One of her best.

Dion-Mania! Posted February 15, 2012 at 04:41 AM Posted February 15, 2012 at 04:41 AM No way! On Ne Change Pas is a close second for me.... Ironic really that the one thing I love the best about her is the sheer power and vocal prowess of her voice, yet these two songs barely have a high note between them. Goes to show that she's far from a one trick pony and can convey great pathos and emotion in her music. Quote
