C\u00e9line Marie Claudette Dion CC OQ (/se\u026a\u02ccli\u02d0n di\u02c8\u0252n/ say-LEEN dee-ON,^[a] French: [selin ma\u0281i klod\u025bt dj\u0254\u0303] ^\u24d8;^[b] born 30 March 1968)^[3] is a Canadian singer. Referred to as the \"Queen of Power Ballads\",^[4]^[5] Dion's powerful, technically skilled vocals and commercially successful works have had a significant impact on popular music.^[6]^[7] Her recordings have been mainly in English and French, although she has also sung in several other languages including Japanese, Italian, German, Mandarin, Spanish and Neapolitan.^[8]\n

Born into a large family in Charlemagne, Quebec, Dion was discovered by her future manager and husband, Ren\u00e9 Ang\u00e9lil, and emerged as a teen star in her home country with a series of French-language albums during the 1980s. She gained international recognition by winning the 1988 Eurovision Song Contest, where she represented Switzerland with the song \"Ne partez pas sans moi\". Dion went on to release twelve English-language albums, including The Colour of My Love (1993), Falling into You (1996), Let's Talk About Love (1997), and All the Way... A Decade of Song (1999), all of which rank among the best-selling albums in history. Her catalog of high-charting tracks includes \"Beauty and the Beast\", \"The Power of Love\", \"Think Twice\", \"To Love You More\", \"Because You Loved Me\", \"It's All Coming Back to Me Now\", \"All by Myself\", \"I'm Your Angel\", \"That's the Way It Is\", \"I'm Alive\" and \"My Heart Will Go On\", the theme for the 1997 film Titanic.^[9]\n

Dion continued releasing French-language albums between each English record, with D'eux (1995) becoming the best-selling French-language album of all time. During the 2000s, she built her reputation as a successful live performer with A New Day... on the Las Vegas Strip (2003\u201307), the highest-grossing concert residency of all time, and the Taking Chances World Tour (2008\u201309), one of the highest-grossing concert tours of the 2000s. In 2009, she was named by the Los Angeles Times as the top-earning artist of the decade, with combined album sales and concert revenue exceeding $747 million.^[10]^[11] In 2022, Dion canceled her tour due to a diagnosis with stiff-person syndrome.\n

With over 200 million records sold worldwide, Dion is the best-selling Canadian recording artist, the best-selling French-language artist, and one of the best-selling musical artists of all time.^[12]^[13]^[14]^[15]^[16] She is the sixth most successful female artist in the history of the U.S. Billboard 200 albums chart and received recognition from the IFPI for selling over 50 million albums in Europe.^[17] Seven of her albums have sold at least 10 million copies worldwide, the second most among women in history. She was ranked as the fourth most outstanding pop vocalist by Cover Magazine and the ninth greatest voice in music by MTV. One of the highest-grossing touring artists in history, she is the second woman to accumulate US$1 billion in concert revenue.^[18] According to Forbes, Dion was the world's highest-paid female musician in 1997, 1998, 2004, and 2006.^[c] She received honorary doctorates in music from the Berklee College of Music and the Universit\u00e9 Laval.^[23]^[24]\n
