Certified Diamond
In 1999, the Record Industry Association of America started to give albums “diamond status” if they have made more than 10 million sales. This is not easy to pull off at all, but Celine Dion has done this more than once! Two of her albums have gone diamond. They are the 1996 album called “Falling Into You” and then the 1997 album called “Let’s Talk About Love.”

A Best Selling Female Artist
Meanwhile, record executives also started to keep track of album sales by using the Nielson Soundscan System in 1991. According to the data, Celine Dion is one of the top-selling female artists in the US and Canada. The only ones to have outdone her were Mariah Carey and Rihanna.
