Canadian singer Celine Dion has made a significant impact in popular culture through her music and performances.

Fame and stardom

Several publications have discussed the influence of Dion's popularity in the music industry. Chuck Taylor of Billboard, claimed "that no other current artist in the world — perhaps with the exception of Madonna — appeared to have as broad a fanbase, with the ability to seize the charts and retail racks and sell out venue after venue" like Dion.[1] Billboard writer Don Jeffrey noted that her 1996 album Falling into You was responsible for the 16 percent increase of Sony Music's worldwide revenue in the third fiscal quarter of 1996.[2] The Vindicator journalists also stated that Dion's Let's Talk about Love and Titanic Soundtrack boosted the music industry's sales in 1997 by 4 percent.[3] Music journalist Larry LeBlanc opined that her worldwide success "serves as a recipe for multinational marketing", with Michael Roth, former co-head of Sony Canada A&R, adding: "Without Celine, this company would be a different place."[4]

Dion is one of the best-selling music artists of all time. She has released 27 studio albums, supported by a number of successful singles. She has been considered one of the greatest vocalists in pop music, and has been featured on various "greatest singers of all time" lists.[5][6] Polly Anthony, former president of Epic Records, described her as "the epitome of a global artist",[7] while US Weekly and Forbes have named Dion as one of music industry's most powerful artists.[8][9] MTV writer Anne Donahue described Dion as an artist "in a realm of her own".[10] Drew Mackie of People named her "one of Canada’s greatest gifts to the world"[11] while The New York Times writer Chris Azzopardi described her as one of the "most revered figures in pop music".[12] Google named Dion the second most searched music artist of 2016.[13]

Cultural presence

Dion is credited for bringing Francophone music to many non-Francophone countries around the world. She was the first and only artist in UK music history to score a gold certification for a French-language album.[14] In a 2003 article, RFI Musique opined that French music "would probably never have got beyond Francophone borders without her" and that "without Celine, French record sales would be dramatically lower!"[15] Theater professor Erin Hurley dubbed Dion as "an ambiguous figure in Quebec culture" and "represents the past and present of Quebec".[16] In 2008, Dion was conferred with France's highest award, the Knight of the Legion of Honour by former President of France Nicolas Sarkozy. Sarkozy also praised Dion saying:

"France thanks you because your talent and success have contributed to the influence of the French language outside our borders."[17]

Dion has been regarded as one of the most successful live acts in history.[18][19] Forbes contributor Larry Olmsted remarked, "Dion pioneered the idea of the musical superstar residency... Dion’s success spawned multiple similar residencies at Caesars and other properties by A-List acts like Aerosmith, Elton John, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Carlos Santana and many others, changing the longstanding industry touring paradigm".[20] Paul Szydelko of Travel Weekly opined that she "is no less a transcendent figure in Las Vegas entertainment history".[21] According to Gary Bongiovanni, president and editor-in-chief of Pollstar, "Celine redefined what artists can do in Las Vegas, helping to make it arguably the busiest entertainment city in the world."[22] The Guardian writers named Dion's Las Vegas residencies as one of "50 gigs that changed music".[23] Stephen Brown, director of the Centre for Business and Economic Research in Las Vegas said that "she has an outsized impact on the economy" with Jacqui Goddard of The Telegraph calling her a "one-woman economic stimulus package".[24]

In a 2021 article, Vice contributor Vincent Desmond discussed Dion's influence in Nigerian culture and how it "transcends generations" opining that "while other divas were big in Nigeria – Whitney Houston and Shania Twain in the late 1990s and early 2000s, Beyonce and Rihanna in the 2010s – none have reached Celine’s level of popularity."[25] Another Vice writer Dale Eisinger commented on Dion's popularity in Jamaica and the Caribbean, saying: "She has become a fixture in dancehall clubs—many Jamaican artists listen to Dion’s songs, cover her music, and remix her love ballads into dancehall anthems."[26]

Commercial influence

[edit]

Taken as a whole, according to SoundScan, Dion has sold more than twenty million albums in America in just one year's time. And that figure is a precise one reflecting the actual number of albums purchased, not the number of albums shipped out to stores... the idea that a single artist could be responsible for selling more than twenty million albums in one year was once unthinkable.

Music critic Eric Boehlert, Rolling Stone[27]

Billboard considers Dion as "an industry unto herself".[28] Xtra Magazine writers described her as a "record breaker", stating that she has "joined the rare league of artists who have managed to achieve and maintain success in the music industry across four decades. That places her up there with Barbra Streisand, Cher, Stevie Wonder, Elton John and Tina Turner."[29] Billboard contributor Chuck Taylor said Dion "also conquered territories that are traditionally untapped by English-speaking vocalists", citing the success of her 1995 single To Love You More, which became the first number-one song in Japan by a western artist in 12 years and Sola Otra Vez, which reached top five in Latin America.[30] Also writing for Billboard, Melinda Newman argued that the success of Falling into You defied the convention of industry experts that "the advent of SoundScan would mean that albums would debut at their peak position", after the album finally reached number-one on Billboard 200 after being on the chart for six months.[31]

Billboard reported that the "strong sales" of Dion, Savage Garden, and Ricky Martin in Asia led Sony Music to claim the "front-runner position for the first two quarters of 1998."[32] Journalist Larry LeBlanc wrote in a Billboard article regarding the "international and domestic sales failures" of Sony Music Canada, largely due to Dion's indefinite hiatus, among other factors, with a former Sony employee claiming: "Due to Celine's success, our company had been living high on the hog for years... Suddenly, with Celine's retirement... the high living was very clearly over."[33] The Columbus Dispatch writer Erica Thompson opined that "among the artists from the great diva era of the ‘90s still performing, she is, arguably, unrivaled."[34]

Domestic

[edit]

Dion has particularly "achieved superstardom and incredible chart dominance in the 1990s", as per Forbes.[35] Larry LeBlanc of Billboard remarked: "not even international superstars match the staggering success in Canada of Dion. In the past seven years, her catalog has sold a dizzying 9 million albums".[36] She is the artist with the most number-one albums (16) and most number of diamond-certified albums in Canada (6).[37] In 2017, Billboard named Dion the biggest Canadian artist of the Nielsen Music Canada era, while in 2000, the Canadian Record Industry Association named her the best-selling Canadian recording artist of the century.[38][39]

Dion has also achieved commercial success on the US Billboard charts since the release of her first English-language studio album in 1990. She is the eighth most successful female solo artist in Billboard charts history, the seventh most successful woman on Billboard 200 history and the thirty-first all time top performing female artist on the Hot 100.[40][41][42] With 53.2 million albums sold, she is the second best-selling female album artist since Nielsen began tracking sales in 1991.[43] As of 2016, she remains the first and only woman to have tallied three 8 million sellers since 1991, with Falling into You, Let's Talk About Love, and All the Way... A Decade of Song. Surpassing Whitney Houston to set a new record, she has set the record for the longest gap between number-one albums on the Billboard 200 among women, with Courage.[35] Dion has scored 11 number-one singles on the Adult Contemporary chart and has spent an all-time record of 87 cumulative weeks atop the chart.

International

[edit]

The Guinness World Records named Dion the top selling album act in Europe, having been awarded with 33 platinum awards.[44] Richard Ogden, former British record executive, stated: "People thought no one would ever sell 10 million albums in Europe again after Michael Jackson. And who was next to do so? Celine Dion."[45] She has spent the most weeks at number-one on the French singles chart (40) while D'eux, one of her six diamond-certified albums in France, is the all-time best-selling album in the country and has spent a record of 44 weeks atop the French albums chart.[46] Billboard contributor Emmanuel LeGrand noted Dion's increasing profile in France, calling it an "unprecedented domination", further adding that the "magnitude of Dion's success has overshadowed the rest of the crop."[47] Elsewhere, Dion is one of the best-selling Foreign artists in Asia and is the best-selling female artist in South Africa.[48][49]
