[edit] Album information
The album was released three weeks after Dion's debut longplay and contained traditional Christmas carols. Although there were no singles issued to promote it, Céline Dion Chante Noël and La voix du bon Dieu had sold 30,000 copies in 1981 and they'd go on to sell about 125,000 copies the following year.[1]
Tracks "Glory Alleluia," "Promenade en traîneau" and "Joyeux Noël" also appeared on Dion's second Christmas album Chants et contes de Noël.
In 1993, Céline Dion recorded an English version of "Joyeux Noël," called "The Christmas Song," which appeared later on her 1998 album These Are Special Times. She has also recorded a new version of "Petit Papa Noël" with Alvin and the Chipmunks in 1994, for their album A Very Merry Chipmunk.
