[edit] Album information

The album features number one singles such as "Pour que tu m'aimes encore," "Je sais pas" or "Sous le vent," and many other hits. It contains also rare songs like "Ma Nouvelle-France" (from the 2004 movie Nouvelle-France), "Plus haut que moi" (French adaptation of Jennifer Rush's song "Higher Ground") and many early recordings (beginning with Dion's first single "Ce n'était qu'un rêve" from June 1981). On ne change pas includes three new songs: "Je ne vous oublie pas," "Tous les secrets" (theme from Asterix and the Vikings) and "I Believe in You" (duet with Il Divo). Material on this album is mostly written by Eddy Marnay, Luc Plamondon, Jean-Jacques Goldman, Erick Benzi, and Jacques Veneruso.

Many versions of On ne change pas were released worldwide, some of them with a bonus DVD featuring almost 30 minutes of exclusive images and the video for "Je ne vous oublie pas." The basic 2CD version (with or without the DVD) was released in October 2005 (with two different tracklists: one for North America and the other for Europe and Asia). The long box containing 3CD and 1DVD was released at the end of November 2005. And finally 1CD version was issued in March/April 2006. However, the album wasn't released in Australia and New Zealand.

Céline Dion visited France in October 2005 (after three years of absence) to promote her compilation and appeared in many TV shows.

The singer recorded also an English version of "Tous les secrets," called "Let Your Heart Decide" which was featured as the single's B-side.

An accompanying On ne change pas DVD was also released on November 21, 2005, including all French music videos and a bonus material.

Dion was nominated for the Female Artist of the Year and the Best Song of the Year - "Je ne vous oublie pas" at the 2006 Félix Awards.

[edit] Chart success

On ne change pas became another commercial success in French-speaking countries, spending seven consecutive weeks at number 1 in France, and three weeks at the top in Belgium Wallonie and Quebec. The album peaked at number 2 in Canada and Switzerland, and debuted at number 9 on the United World Chart.

It sold over 1.5 million copies worldwide. On ne change pas spent over a year on the French chart and was certified 3x platinum for selling 600,000 copies (108,687 in the first week which was a record for a compilation). The album was also certified 3x platinum in Canada for selling 150,000 copies (34,000 in the first week), platinum in Belgium (50,000) and gold in Switzerland (20,000). It was the best selling compilation and 7th best selling album in France in 2005. It became also the best selling album in Quebec and 4th best selling album in Belgium Wallonie the same year.

The leadoff single "Je ne vous oublie pas" reached number 2 in France and was certified silver. "Tous les secrets" peaked at number 20 and "I Believe in You" at number 30. The latter was also released in the United States as a promotional single, reaching number 31 on the Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks.
