Canadian singer Celine Dion has released 150 singles. At age twelve, Dion collaborated with her mother and brother, Jacques to compose her first song, "Ce n'était qu'un rêve," which was released as a single in Quebec, Canada in 1981. During the 1980s, Dion topped the Quebec chart with six of her singles, including "D'amour ou d'amitié," "Mon ami m'a quittée," and four songs from the ''Incognito'' album. In 1985, "Une colombe" won two Félix Awards for Song of the Year and Best Selling Single of the Year.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=ADISQ )〕 Both "D'amour ou d'amitié" and "Une colombe" were certified Gold in Canada. Elsewhere, "Tellement j'ai d'amour pour toi" won the Best Song Award at the World Popular Song Festival in Japan in 1982, and in 1983, Dion became the first Canadian artist to receive a Gold record in France for the single "D'amour ou d'amitié."〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Five Star Feeling Inc )〕 Further success in Europe came when she represented Switzerland in the Eurovision Song Contest 1988 with the song "Ne partez pas sans moi," which later won the contest. In 1990, Dion made her debut into the American market with ''Unison''. The album included "Where Does My Heart Beat Now," which became her first single to reach the top ten on the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100, peaking at number four. In 1991, Dion sang with Peabo Bryson in the song "Beauty and the Beast." It became her second top ten ''Billboard'' Hot 100 single, first top ten entry in the United Kingdom, and won the Academy Award for Best Original Song, as well the Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals. Her following single from ''Celine Dion'', "If You Asked Me To" peaked at number four on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and topped the chart in Canada. Released in late 1993, ''The Colour of My Love'' spawned Dion's first US and Australian, and second Canadian number-one single, "The Power of Love." In the United States, the song was certified Platinum and has sold 1.5 million copies. Another single from ''The Colour of My Love'', "Think Twice" topped the UK Singles Chart for seven weeks and has sold over 1.3 million copies there. It became only the fourth million-selling single ever in the UK by a female artist.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Celine Dion on CBC Music )〕 "Think Twice" also topped the charts in other European countries, including Belgium, Denmark, Ireland, Netherlands, Norway and Sweden.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Irish Charts )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Céline Dion - Think Twice (Song) )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Céline Dion - Think Twice (Song) )〕 Keeping to her French roots, Dion continued to release French language recordings between each English album. After ''Dion chante Plamondon'' in 1991, ''D'eux'' was released in 1995 and amassed huge success with the single, "Pour que tu m'aimes encore." The song reached number one in France, stayed at the top position for twelve weeks, and has sold almost one million copies in this country, alone. "Pour que tu m'aimes encore" topped the charts in Francophone countries and also peaked inside top ten in the UK, Ireland, Netherlands and Sweden.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Céline Dion - Pour que tu m'aimes encore (Song) )〕 The next single, "Je sais pas" also reached number one in France and Belgium. In 1995, Dion released "To Love You More" in Japan, where it reached number one, selling 1.5 million copies. As a result, she became the first non-Japanese artist in twelve years to garner a number-one hit on the Oricon Singles Chart. Released in 1996, ''Falling into You'' featured the US, Canadian and Australian chart topping single "Because You Loved Me," which has sold over two million copies in the US alone and is Celine Dion's biggest ''Billboard'' Hot 100 hit.〔 Other successful singles from the album included "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" and "All by Myself," which both reached the top five on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" became Dion's third Platinum single in the US, with sales of 1.6 million copies.〔 In 1997, she released the most-successful single of her career, "My Heart Will Go On."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Celine Dion Biography )〕 Serving as the love theme to the 1997 blockbuster motion picture, ''Titanic'' (also included on ''Let's Talk About Love''), the single topped the charts across the world, and became Dion's signature song. "My Heart Will Go On" won the Academy Award for Best Original Song, and it gave Dion two additional Grammy Awards for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, and the most coveted Record of the Year. "My Heart Will Go On" was certified Diamond, Multi-Platinum and Gold around the world. It remains Dion's highest seller and one of the best-selling singles of all time, with global sales of over fifteen million copies, including two million in Germany, 1.8 million in the US, 1.5 million in the UK, and 1.2 million units in France.〔〔〔 With "Think Twice" and "My Heart Will Go On," Dion became the first female artist with two million-selling singles in the UK. She's also one of the biggest selling female singles artists of all time in the UK. In 1998, Dion released another French-language album, ''S'il suffisait d'aimer'', and her first English-language holiday album, ''These Are Special Times''. The latter featured "I'm Your Angel," a duet with R. Kelly, which became Dion's fourth ''Billboard'' Hot 100 number-one and her fourth million-selling Platinum single in the US. Released in 1999, ''All the Way... A Decade of Song'' included the successful lead single "That's the Way It Is," which reached number six on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100.

The first single was the title track, which peaked at number twenty-two on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, and spent twenty-one consecutive weeks at number one on the ''Billboard'' Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks, breaking the record for the longest span at the top. The previous record holder was Dion's own "Because You Loved Me," which lasted nineteen weeks at number one.〔 Dion has logged 87 weeks atop the Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks chart, the most of any artist.
