[edit] Song information

The single was released in July 1994 in United States & Canada, October 1994 in United Kingdom, Australia & Japan, and February 1995 in the rest of the world. It was a big hit in Europe and Australia.

"Think Twice" recived an Ivor Novello Award for Song of the Year in 1995.

It was included on All the Way... A Decade of Song compilation in 1999.

Two versions of the music video exists: the first was released in August 1994, later because of the huge success in UK, Céline made a special music video in December 1994 aired in UK Top of the Pops television programme.

The B-sides of this single were taken mainly from Dion Chante Plamondon album, which was released at that time worldwide. It was also the first time that Dion's English single included French songs as B-sides all over the world.

"Think Twice" was covered by Alana Dante in 1996.

[edit] Chart success

"Think Twice" was #1 all over Europe: United Kingdom, Belgium, Denmark, Ireland, Netherlands, Norway & Sweden. It stayed 7 weeks at the top in UK, which was a record for a single (not replicated since 1965 with the Beatles). "Think Twice" sold there over 1.2 million copies and should be certified 2x platinum (for now it's undercertified and remains platinum only). It was also very successful in Australia (#2, platinum certification). In United States "Think Twice" peaked at #95.

The fact is that this single boosted up The Colour of My Love album sales, which was released a year earlier and already fell off the charts. Thanks to its success the album went to #1 in countries like: United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, Norway or Greece.
