Céline Dion

Celine Dion is a Canadian singer counted among the highest-earning singers in history. Highly famous all over the world for her soulful and melodious voice, she is best known for singing ‘My Heart Will Go On’, the main theme song of the 1997 blockbuster film ‘Titanic’. The song peaked at No. 1 in several countries across the continents including Canada, United States, United Kingdom, Ireland and Australia. It made her one of the most sought after singers in the world. Talented and ambitious from a young age, she always dreamed of becoming a singer one day. As a child, she began performing at the small club her parents operated and composed her first song in collaboration with her mother and brother at the age of 12. Gradually her popularity spread to other parts of the world and today she figures among the best-known international singers.

Dion first gained international recognition by winning both the 1982 Yamaha World Popular Song Festival and the 1988 Eurovision Song Contest where she represented Switzerland. In 1990, Dion released her debut English-language album, Unison, establishing herself as a viable pop artist in North America and other English-speaking areas of the world. During the 1990s, she achieved worldwide fame after releasing several best-selling English albums such as Falling into You (1996) and Let's Talk About Love (1997), both of which were both certified diamond in the US. She also scored a series of international number-one hits, including 'The Power of Love', 'Think Twice', 'Because You Loved Me', 'It's All Coming Back to Me Now', 'My Heart Will Go On', and 'I'm Your Angel'. Dion continued releasing French albums between each English record; D'eux (1995) became the best-selling French-language album of all time. While her releases have often received mixed critical reception, she is regarded as one of pop music's most influential voices. Dion has won five Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year and Record of the Year. Billboard named her the 'Queen of Adult Contemporary' for having the most number ones on the radio format for a female artist. She is the second best-selling female artist in the US during the Nielsen SoundScan era. Dion remains the best-selling Canadian artist and one of the best-selling artists of all time with record sales of over 200 million copies worldwide.
