Popular Post Feanor Posted August 6 Popular Post Posted August 6 (edited) To say that Céline Dion's career in the late 1990s was on fire would be an understatement. For a period of 5 years (if not even longer), it seemed like she could do no wrong and everything she did ended up a huge success: 1995 Release of 'D'eux', the best-selling French album in history. 1996 Release of 'Falling Into You', the first of Céline's two massive blockbuster albums, selling a reported 30M+ copies worldwide. 1997 Winning the most prestigious Grammy of all: Album Of The Year for 'Falling Into You'. Following it up with 'Let's Talk About Love', another 30M+ selling album for Céline. And while not her own album, "My Heart Will Go On" was undeniably a driving factor behind the Titanic soundtrack reportedly also selling 30M copies worldwide, and has forever linked Céline's name with one of the biggest movie of all time… 1998 … and also netted her a Grammy win for Record Of The Year. Launching the Let's Talk About Love World Tour, which over the next two years would gross $133M and become the highest-grossing female tour ever up until that point. Release of 'S'il Suffisait D'Aimer', the 2nd biggest French album, and 'These Are Special Times', the 2nd best-selling Christmas album by a female artist. 1999 And finally, finishing off the 1990s with her compilation 'All The Way… A Decade Of Song', one of the biggest Greatest Hits albums ever released, reportedly having sold over 20M copies globally. These are some of her biggest successes from 1995-99. Given all that, would you say that Céline Dion had the biggest 5-year period for any female artist ever? If not her, which female artist do you think had an even more impressive period of 5 back-to-back years? Edited August 6 by Feanor 16
PoisonedIvy Posted August 6 Posted August 6 Yeah, Adele is probably the only other contender with her 2012-2017 2
Popboi. Posted August 6 Posted August 6 Yes, it's very much up there with MJ's and The Beatles' best 5 years. 6
IBeMe Posted August 6 Posted August 6 yeah it;s sort of insane. she was untouchable in that period. Literally was among the legends in a quick period of time. It wouldnt have felt weird to catagorize her with the icons of that time during that period despite only breaking into the english market not too long before this peak period. 1
Walk_Away21 Posted August 6 Posted August 6 Yep she had everyone gagged. My Heart Will Go On alone is bigger than most of our faves' careers 4
halcyonday Posted August 6 Posted August 6 No, it has to be Katy Perry with 2008-2013, but Celine's run was very cute! 11
Tylerbv Posted August 6 Posted August 6 She's up there. She deserves 25 Grammys for That's The Way It Is alone yhough. 1 1
Loca Posted August 6 Posted August 6 Yes, she was the most successful singer of the 1990s, no doubt about it. 5 2

Chris Posted August 6 Posted August 6 Watch someone insert Taylor Swift in here and this thread go to shambles. 3
Popboi. Posted August 6 Posted August 6 Just now, Chris said: Watch someone insert Taylor Swift in here and this thread go to shambles. Watch someone be... you. 7
Chris Posted August 6 Posted August 6 6 minutes ago, Popboi. said: Watch someone be... you. Taylor's peak is bigger than Celine's ever was. Jk
Elusive Chanteuse Posted August 6 Posted August 6 Probably. Its a shame she wasn't taken seriously by critics then.
Donquizote Posted August 6 Posted August 6 yes, thanks to Queen Kate Winslet who helped revived her career Jk 1

Trent W Posted August 7 Posted August 7 Britney 2019-2024 is the biggest peak of all time OF ALL TIME 1
brenda-walsh Posted August 7 Posted August 7 maybe, but Madonna's run from 1986-1990 was also massive she had: 20M+ selling True Blue album 15M+ selling Like A Prayer album 30M selling The Immaculate Collection two soundtracks that each sold 5M+ Who's That Girl World Tour and Blonde Ambition Tour were record breaking And in general she set the blueprint for female popstars after her with her videos, outfits, performances, etc 3 2
