Album information

Dion was very hardworking during the past 5 years. She had recorded 9 albums for the Canadian market (5 regular releases, 2 Christmas albums, 1 live recording, and 1 greatest hits). She had also released 2 compilations in France. Dion got gold and platinum certifications for her albums and singles and received 11 Félix Awards and 2 Yamaha Music Festival Awards. It was about time to sum up those achievements and that's how Les chansons en or was born.
