It remains one of best-selling albums of all time with worldwide sales of twenty million copies. Singles released from the album include the US number one "The Power of Love," the UK number one "Think Twice," and the Japanese chart topper "To Love You More," which was included on the 1995 re-release of ''The Colour of My Love'' in Japan. Each of these singles sold over one million copies in these countries. ''The Colour of My Love'' won two Juno Awards of 1995 for Album of the Year and Best Selling Album (Foreign or Domestic), and also received the IRMA Award for Best International Female Artist Album. "Think Twice" won the Ivor Novello Award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically and "To Love You More" received the International Single Grand Prix at the Japan Gold Disc Awards.
