Céline News.

Since SO MANY of you watch for the latest from/about Céline Dion, I thought I'd just let you know that TOMORROW morning, at 10AM, you can be among those who will get tickets for one of her ONLY performances outside of Las Vegas. And, as you'll see on the CélineDion.com news page, the next album (Miracle, "a compelling, powerful and inspiring collection of songs that honor the unbreakable bond of love that exists between mother and child") comes out on October 12 in North America! Finally, as you all probably already know, Céline was honored last week at the World Music Awards with the awards' third Diamond Award, recognizing her as the world's best selling contemporary artist! This is based on her sales of over 175 million records worldwide. You can read the full citation in the image below, but the platinum accout is mind-blowing:
In the United States alone, Dion has collected enough platinum to open her own mine. Her first self-titled set is double-platinum. The Colour of My Love is up to six times platinum. Unison[hardly anyone's favorite!] is also platinum, and the Falling into You CD is certified at an amazing 11 times platinum. Let's Talk about Love is also in the metallic stratosphere, at 10 times platinum. Dion's holidy release, These Are Special Times, is certified four times platinum, a very impressive figure for a Christmas-related set. In 1999, Dion's label released a greatest hits collection, All the Way... A Decade of Song. That CD is certified six times platinum. The heavy-metal parade continues with A New Day Has Come, which has already turned three times platinum. Dion's most recent studio CD, One Heart has quickly turned triple platinum as well....
