My Love: Essential Collection
''My Love: Essential Collection'' is a greatest hits album by Canadian recording artist Celine Dion. It was released by Columbia Records on October 24, 2008 as the follow up to her previous English-language compilation, ''All the Way... A Decade of Song'' (1999). Before releasing ''My Love: Essential Collection'', Dion had already sold over 200 million albums worldwide. In the album's liner notes, she dedicated this collection of songs, recorded between 1990 and 2008, to her fans who supported her throughout the years. ''My Love: Essential Collection'' was released as a single disc, consisting of Dion's most successful singles, including: "My Heart Will Go On", "Because You Loved Me" and "The Power of Love". The two-disc edition, entitled ''My Love: Ultimate Essential Collection'' has been further expanded to include rare songs that have not previously appeared on her albums. Both editions include one new track, "There Comes a Time". The album wasn't released in Japan because Sony Music Entertainment decided to issue different compilation there, ''Complete Best''.
''My Love: Essential Collection'' received a positive response. It topped the albums charts in the Netherlands, Belgium and Ireland, as well as the compilation album chart in France. ''My Love: Essential Collection'' debuted at number two in Canada, number five in the United Kingdom and number eight in the United States, and was certified double-Platinum in Canada and Ireland, Platinum in Belgium and Gold in Mexico, Finland, New Zealand and Hungary. The first single from the album, "My Love", was a semi-autobiographic song written for Dion by Linda Perry, originally available on ''Taking Chances'' (2007). In France, "I'm Alive" (Remix) was released as a promotional single instead. In July 2011, ''My Love: Essential Collection'' was re-issued with the same track listings as part of Sony's ''The Essential'' line.
