Complete Best is a greatest hits album by Canadian singer Céline Dion, released on February 27, 2008 in Japan.[1] It's her 14th English album and 36th in total.
[edit] Album information
The album was released few days before Dion's concerts in Japan, which were a part of the Taking Chances Tour.[2]
It contains one new track "A World to Believe In" (U.S.A. mix), recorded as an English-Japanese duet with Yuna Ito, which wasn't available on Dion's previous album. Taking Chances includes English version of that song, performed by Céline Dion alone. "A World to Believe In" was released as a single in January 2008 and peaked at number 8 on the Oricon Singles Chart.[3] It was Dion's first appearance on that chart, since "To Love You More" (dance mixes) entered it in April 1999.
Complete Best also includes "To Love You More," which was originally released in October 1995 and became Céline Dion's biggest hit in Japan, topping the singles chart for 4 weeks and selling almost 1.3 million copies. It contains also two others Japan only released singles: "The Power of the Dream" and "Be the Man."
[edit] Chart success
The album was certified gold in March 2008 and to date, 152,842 copies of Complete Best have been sold in Japan. It debuted at number 3 on the Oricon Albums Chart with 34,223 copies sold. Complete Best is Dion's second best position on this chart, after All the Way… A Decade of Song. The album reached also number 1 on the Oricon Daily Chart. However, it went down to number 6 on the weekly chart in its second week, selling 27,281 copies. The following week, right after the Japanese leg of the Taking Chances Tour, Complete Best jumped from number 6 to number 4 with 34,724 sold. Because of third week sales in Japan, Complete Best entered the United World Chart at number 32. The album topped also the Oricon International Albums Chart for 6 consecutive weeks.
