Celine Dion DVD surpasses triple Diamond status
"Celine Dion - A New Day: Live In Las Vegas" Is The Biggest Selling Music DVD of All Time
Celine Dion Continues To Break New Ground As The First Quebec Artist To Release On The Blu-ray Format
Celine Dion makes history as the only music DVD to be certified Triple Diamond status in Canada, over 300,000 units. Celine Dion - A New Day: Live In Las Vegas has held the number one position on the Music Video Chart since its release. Its debut captured the biggest sales week debut in Nielsen SoundScan history for a DVD only release. Triple Diamond is an astounding achievement considering that only 5 other DVD releases (The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, Live Aid, and Live 8) have ever reached Double Diamond (200,000 units) in Canada. Celine Dion- A New Day Live in Las Vegas is a deluxe five hour double-DVD set, commemorating Celine's historic five-year record-breaking, sold-out run of her Las Vegas concert extravaganza.
This latest achievement follows the #1 debut of Celine's 4X Platinum CD Taking Chances which achieved the top position on both the Nielsen SoundScan Top 200 and Digital Album Charts in its debut week. 2007 also saw her French-language album, D'elles, debut at #1, garnering Celine the two highest sales entries in Canada (for two different albums) so far this year - an unprecedented achievement in Canadian SoundScan history.
The release of Celine Dion - A New Day: Live In Las Vegas on Blu-ray, which arrives in stores this February, marks the first-ever from a Quebec artist to be released on this format
Celine Dion begins her world concert tour February 14, 2008 in Johannesburg, South Africa.
