naval23 Posted June 13, 2022 Posted June 13, 2022 She pushed 100M+ pure album sales in the span of 5 years - no one has come close to that domination in that time frame (and this doesn't even include the Titanic soundtrack) 30M - Falling Into You (1996) 32M - Let's Talk About Love (1997) 10M - D'eux (1995) 12M - These Are Special Times (1998) 22M - All the Way...A Decade of Song (1999)
sugarysunflower Posted June 13, 2022 Posted June 13, 2022 because let’s take away the epic proportion of sales and units she shifted in such a short time; she has many influential and legendary reasons which she deserves to be credited for: -1/3 vocal trinity - rebuilt and reshaped adult contemporary of recent times ; her haunting tone and power ballads contributed to help inspire a new generation of singers and make labels confident in that AC ballads would remain ever popular throughout the 90s/early 00s. -helped introduce to the world the french music market - her French album smashes influenced consumers to check out other French music, which no other French speaking artist had the level of exposure to do so before -cemented the power of soundtracks - beauty and the beast, because you loved me, my heart will go on ………demonstrated time after time again that soundtracks would never fall out of fashion and she helped to prove the two art mediums were still in a symbiotic relationship. -vegas - the first to completely revolutionise the Vegas residency that we know of today. -fashion - outside of music, she ventured in high fashion to help create a fresh image to the public, and has many designers appreciation. — musically speaking, she’s still crazily played on European radio a lot too!! ? I mean there’s 5 legitimate reasons. Perhaps the disrespectful atrl users on this thread are used to spamming and shoving e.g. BTS, Taylor Swift, Britney Spears and Gaga through their poor eardrums on the regular, but if they took a minute to turn on a radio station or speak to a person irl (things that don’t involve tapping a screen, but actually tactile/tangible things) they might discover a whole other world out there - including how much airplay, ticket sales and catalog sales Celine still gets.

Céline sold 100 million copies WW in 5 years. Do you think it was all in France? Is Las Vegas in France ? Go look at her touring stats....is she only performing in France? My heart will go on was only successful in France? Tu es vraiment ignorant, mon gars. Also, THIS is why Celine is a legend. Impeccable vocals, great performer, etc. http://youtu.be/01jbgNNUCxU Edited June 13, 2022 by Legacy

besaid Posted June 13, 2022 Posted June 13, 2022 She's a much bigger legend than atrl faves like Britney or Gaga. The public adores her and she has decades of selling millions of albums and tour tickets to prove it.
Zaynsus Posted June 13, 2022 Posted June 13, 2022 She's one of the best vocalists of all time She's one of the best selling artists of all time (she has sold 100m albums between 1995 and 1998) Managed to sell music in French in countries that don't even speak the language God said so

It can happen when its a legendary song attached literally to a legendary film (highest grossing of all time) and a DIAMOND album. Lol, like.... not many people have those separately, let alone in a trio. Only Whitney can compare to that.
ninetiesceline Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 (edited) What kind of question is that??? Lets have a quick history lesson shall we: • Céline is credited for introducing francophone music to many non-francophone countries around the world. — “she has done her bit for French music over the years, assuring the success of French songs which would probably never have got beyond Francophone borders without her ... Without Celine, French record sales would be dramatically lower!” - RFI Musique • Céline is also credited for both revitalising and revolutionizing the entertainment scene in Las Vegas. She pioneered modern residencies and brought it back to the map. — “She changed history and she completely changed Las Vegas” - Billboard — Dion's show created up to 7,000 indirect jobs and around $114 million worth of new economic activity in each of the three years for which she has been contracted in Vegas. • Céline's music also made cultural impacts in different parts of the world: — Jamaica: Dion's appearance at Jamaica Jazz & Blues Festival changed the festival's future. According to Walter Elmore, CEO of Art of Music Productions said Dion is by far the most expensive artist he has ever booked, further saying: "I have already received calls from the management of several major US artists who want to perform here next year because they heard Celine's comments about our show's production quality," Elmore said. "Her performance confirms that we can bring the biggest artists on the planet to our little island." • Her music and her vocal talent has helped inspired a generation of artists: Adele Ariana Grande Frank Ocean Sam Smith Kelly Clarkson Ava Max Vanessa Hudgens to name a few... MICHAEL JACKSON attended one of her Vegas shows. Beyoncé once said she has the most beautiful voice in the world. Cher said she has the best voice in the business. Diane Warren said she is the greatest singer of her generation while David Foster said she is the best singer there is. Elton John said she has the best vocal power whose able to sing anything. Michael Bolton once said she is a gift to us. Kelly Clarkson said she has two set of lungs. Prince wrote a song specifically for her after getting impressed. To top all that, Adele has a framed chewed gum of Céline in her house. You can say her music isn't your cup of tea, but you simply can't deny her global impact. You really think nobody listens to the woman who sold 250 MILLION records worldwide. Reminding you all of her english studio albums received a certification in UK (that's from 1990 - 2019). She is 1/3 of the vocal trinity, her sales is only surpassed by Madonna. Most importantly, she did all that as a French artist in the industry. Edited June 14, 2022 by ninetiesceline

SPEAK ON IT!

I don't disagree with most of this, but Ariana/Kelly/Ava all cite Mariah as their primary influence or the reason they started singing. I'm sure Celine was influential to them as well, but small correction.

I wasn't really referring whether she's their primary or what but those artists mentioned were just some who cited her as one of their major influences. • In this interview, Ava Max names Céline Dion, Whitney Houston & Kelly Clarkson as some of the artists that inspired her: • Here's a compilation of Ariana being a hardcore Celine stan ever since she was a little kid to present: And for Kelly: : even Zac Efron owns a collection of Céline Dion albums lol
Donquizote Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 I am inclined to say sales and longevity, but when you take out those parameters she is still a legend with gifted voice to humanity
James_Dean Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 The op must be really young or just ignorant... or both
Alldeezy Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 she isn't! i only hear about her on here tbh, like ofcourse i know of her! but ATRL only place that still stans her...

Infernal Paradise Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 Celine is very obviously a legend, and a global one at that too. Her songs have touched the hearts of millions and she has amassed massive career sales, not to mention her incredible touring power. What is this?
Miss Show Business Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 Celine Dion, who didn't speak a word of English until just before her first English album came out, and went on to have a 20 million WW seller, and two 30 million WW sellers? Celine is probably the most successful crossover in music history. She's as revered in the English speaking world as she is in the French speaking world.
