Celine Dion Receives Three Video Awards For Quick Sales

Celine Dion is Canada’s hottest selling music video producer at the moment. Dion, who has sold more than 200 million albums worldwide, has recently been awarded Platinum, Diamond and Double Diamond certifications on her videos Taking Chances World Tour: The Concert (10,000 copies), La Tournee Modaiale Taking Chances:  Le Spectacle (100,000 copies) and Celine: Through The Eyes Of The World (200,000 copies), respectively.

All three of these videos were released at the end of April this year and the certification was awarded for May sales. This should make Celine: Through The Eyes Of The World, one of the fastest selling double diamond certification by a Canadian artist. The documentary–concert film chronicles the life of the Canadian singer during her Taking Chances Tour. It premiered on February 16, 2010 in Miami Florida and was released in theatres as a Hot Ticket special event.

According to Nielsen SoundScan, Dion's three DVD releases debuted at the top three on the Music Video Chart in Canada. Celine: Through the Eyes of the World entered at number-one, selling 69,000 copies. Sales of this DVD achieved the second highest one week total for a music DVD, behind Dion's 2007 release, Live in Las Vegas: A New Day.... The concert DVD/CD La Tournee Modaiale Taking Chances:  Le Spectacle entered the chart at number-two, selling 31,000 copies, which was then followed by the English version, Taking Chances World Tour: The Concert at number-three with 7,700 copies sold. No other artist since Hilary Duff's home video invasion in 2004, has an artist has held the top three positions on that chart. Duff was certified with a 5X Diamond Sales Award for 500,000 copies of All Access Pass for sales in the month of November 2004.
