She is known for her vocal range and technical proficiency and has achieved significant commercial success in both French- and English-language markets. With estimated worldwide sales exceeding 200 million records, she is among the best-selling recording artists of all time and the best-selling Canadian and French-language artist. Born in Charlemagne, Quebec, into a large family, Dion was managed from an early age by René Angélil, whom she later married. During the 1980s, she released eight French-language albums and became a prominent teen performer in Canada. She gained international attention after representing Switzerland and winning the Eurovision Song Contest 1988 with the song "Ne partez pas sans moi". She subsequently established a career in the English-language market, releasing twelve English-language studio albums. Among her most commercially successful releases are "The Colour of My Love" (1993), "Falling into You" (1996), "Let's Talk About Love" (1997) and "All the Way... A Decade of Song" (1999), all of which rank among the best-selling albums worldwide. Notable singles from her catalogue include "Beauty and the Beast", "The Power of Love", "Think Twice", "To Love You More", "Because You Loved Me", "It's All Coming Back to Me Now", "All by Myself", "I'm Your Angel", "That's the Way It Is", "I'm Alive" and "My Heart Will Go On", the theme song of the 1997 film "Titanic", which became one of the best-selling singles by a female artist. Between her English-language releases, Dion continued to record in French. The album "D'eux" (1995) became the best-selling French-language album of all time. She has also been recognised as a successful live performer.
