[edit] Album information

The Collector's Series, Volume One is a compilation of some of Céline Dion's biggest hits and few rare tracks. The album features "The Power of the Dream" from the opening ceremony of the 1996 Summer Olympics, duets with Barbra Streisand and Andrea Bocelli, and few rarely-heard non-English language songs. It also includes singles, which didn't make onto Dion's previous greatest hits album All the Way… A Decade of Song: "Where Does My Heart Beat Now," "Only One Road," "Falling into You," and "The Reason."

Tout en amour was released in France also as a limited edition, including twelve colour postcards with previously unreleased photos of Céline Dion. The album was re-released in October 2004 in few European countries, as part of the Best of the Best Gold series. The gold-disc pressing was housed in a die-cut slipcase, exposing the gold disc and featured the same tracks that graced the standard pressing.

[edit] Chart success

Although The Collector's Series, Volume One wasn't promoted in any way, the album sold 3 million copies worldwide, topping the chart in France, and reaching top ten in Canada, Greece and Portugal. It was certified gold in many countries. The album remains uncertified in Canada, although it sold over 100,000 copies and could be platinum. In the U.S. The Collector's Series, Volume One is eligible for platinum certification as well, after shipping 1 million copies (0.9 million sold).
