Apparently it's also the name of the album coming this fall, Gurfren's first English album since 2013's Loved Me Back To Life.

I've wanted to see Celine for years, but previous opportunities to do so didn't come along at the right time for me... not sure I can miss her again though, so bring on those 2020 UK dates!

Posted by: SKOB 6th April 2019, 08:53 AM

Hope this is proper world tour! Several acts tour months in the US & Canada and then have two gigs in the UK and call it a "world tour"

Posted by: Bjork 6th April 2019, 09:05 AM

album out in November
so long wait

Posted by: slowdown73 6th April 2019, 02:41 PM

never would have expected Celine dion to do a carpool karaoke!!! <3

just watched! Celine amazing as usual

Posted by: Jonjo 21st May 2019, 05:54 PM

The Carpool was amazing

Posted by: pippa 21st May 2019, 05:58 PM

Celine has character but it is often overlooked in her personality.

Posted by: Jay ☆ 21st May 2019, 10:29 PM

Celine is always hilarious! Loved that :')

Posted by: PAJ88 22nd May 2019, 01:42 AM

Was there a new song not yet released sung in that carpool karaoke?

I think it was Won’t Take It Lying Down.

I couldn’t find it on iTunes or Spotify.

Posted by: Bjork 22nd May 2019, 08:20 AM

yes an unreleased

Posted by: slowdown73 22nd May 2019, 10:50 PM

Ashes is an amazing song. I really hope it’s on the new album.

Posted by: Spiceboy 24th May 2019, 08:22 AM

Iconic carpool

I’m going to see Celine @ Hyde Park so will hopefully get to hear this!

Posted by: Spiceboy 12th June 2019, 02:43 PM

I'm very tempted to book tickets to see Celine at Hyde Park, they are on offer on Groupon!

Posted by: Dane 17th June 2019, 01:46 AM

I’ve got tickets to see her in Hyde Park, can’t wait! Little bit disappointed with her support acts but oh well. Intrigued to see what her set list will be, hopefully she just sticks to classics as most people that will be going won’t be fans that follow her new music. Would love her to stick to the setlist she did in 2018.

Posted by: Voodoo 29th June 2019, 10:45 AM

LOL. It's not "live" at all. The crowd looks dead, too.

I think the new song is awful. It sounds generic, dated & cheap.

Posted by: slowdown73 30th June 2019, 04:10 PM

I like the new song but it’s certainly not what I was expecting from Celine.

Posted by: slowdown73 6th July 2019, 09:22 AM

Anybody else see Celine at Hyde Park last night? She was amazing. Sang loads of her old hits and her new song ‘flying on my own’ and ‘ashes’.

Posted by: Prettylittlebry 18th September 2019, 11:45 AM

Album pre-order now up on iTunes. Deluxe has 20 tracks!

Posted by: slowdown73 18th September 2019, 02:28 PM

Very excited about this album. There are 4 songs already available for the album and imperfections and lying down both sound amazing. I really Hope ashes is included as a bonus track!

Posted by: Medellíam 18th September 2019, 02:39 PM

Posted by: JosephStyles 18th September 2019, 06:33 PM

Really like all three of those! Lying Down is absolutely phenomenal though, love at first listen!!

Posted by: WinterFreeze 19th September 2019, 07:04 AM

Lying Down is incredible.

While it’s stunning in its current form I’m sure it’d work well as a dance remix.

Posted by: Bjork 19th September 2019, 06:23 PM

OMG king down is amazing, didn't know it was the sia/guetta song, they have to push it, it's incredible

Posted by: Euphorique 20th September 2019, 02:36 PM

Really like Lying Down and Imperfections

Posted by: Jay ☆ 26th September 2019, 01:54 PM

Beautiful and powerful It's my favourite of the new 3 songs, although I love them all. So hyped for the album!

Posted by: Lukuzz 29th September 2019, 10:07 AM

Anyone know how much the tickets are?

Posted by: Jay ☆ 30th September 2019, 05:25 PM

I got tickets for the 18th September date at the O2

I've never seen her in concert before, and this is seriously overdue... she was one of the first artists I ever heard and loved (I remember playing one of my mum's Celine cassettes when I was 7, in 1995, and loving it). 25 years after that and I'll finally see her live.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 15th November 2019, 11:03 AM

She should have added ashes even if only as a bonus track.

Posted by: slowdown73 15th November 2019, 07:27 PM

Fully agreed. There is a bonus track called Seoul on the Japan version. I haven’t heard the album properly yet as my copy hasn’t arrived from Amazon but heard clips. Didn’t sound as strong as some of her stuff but need to hear it properly.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 16th November 2019, 06:11 PM

From what I've heard so far it's good but may take more time.

Posted by: ___∆___ 16th November 2019, 07:24 PM

Love the album so far - a really solid return.

Posted by: Lomadz 16th November 2019, 07:51 PM

Will give this a listen at some point? Any pop in it or is it mostly ballads? What's the best song?

Posted by: Prettylittlebry 16th November 2019, 08:28 PM

For The Lover I Lost is beautiful

Posted by: SKOB 16th November 2019, 08:52 PM

OMG the deluxe has 20 tracks :DDDDDDDD

Loved seven songs and keeping them; Lovers Never Die, Lying Down, Courage, Imperfections, Change My Mind, The Chase and For the Lover That I Lost.

Posted by: Bjork 16th November 2019, 10:08 PM

the 4 songs we knew before the album are easily the best ones
too much filler

Posted by: SKOB 17th November 2019, 09:15 AM

Projected to debut at #1 in the US with 125k copies or so.

Posted by: Jordan Lee 17th November 2019, 05:25 PM

I think this is a strong album! The deluxe is long and some of the deluxe tracks are better than standard ones but it was a pretty solid listen for me.

Posted by: JosephStyles 17th November 2019, 05:42 PM

It's definitely too long, could've been condensed to a 16 track deluxe album I think? However a few filler songs aside, it's a very good album!! Lying Down remains my comfortable fave but plenty I'll return to

Posted by: Bjork 17th November 2019, 05:53 PM

agree Lying Down is the best, this is the Sia/Guetta song right?

Posted by: slowdown73 17th November 2019, 07:05 PM

Well I’ve heard the album and I’m afraid I think it’s one of her weakest albums to date. First half is particularly poor. Lying down is a great song though and my highlight. There are a couple of other good tracks but quite a few forgettable bland tracks.

Posted by: Jordan Lee 17th November 2019, 07:15 PM

That’s pretty good it’s a shame it’ll be #2 here in UK. I bet it’ll outsell a good few #1 albums this year though and I can see her holding up well over Q4 maybe staying top 20 till Xmas chart?

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 17th November 2019, 09:13 PM

Lying Down is the best on the album but i do agree its no her best album and i was hoping for better. Great to see that its on track for US number 1. Top 3 in the UK will be a good start for the album, hopefully it can make gold.

Posted by: slowdown73 18th November 2019, 09:08 AM

I wonder why ashes wasn’t included. It’s an amazing song and better than anything on the new album so disappointed that they didn’t include it.

Posted by: Bjork 18th November 2019, 10:03 AM

agree that's a strange choice
maybe they couldn't? depends if the soundtrack was on a different label maybe

Posted by: pippa 18th November 2019, 03:18 PM

Ashes is better than the tracks on the album and it is disappointing it is not on the album, whatever the reason.

Posted by: pippa 18th November 2019, 05:39 PM

Celine is sandwiched inbetween 2 boybands in the midweek chart information released today.
Westlife are Number 1 and Take That Number 3.

Posted by: slowdown73 18th November 2019, 05:45 PM

No2 is a good position and I think it will outsell Westlife in the long run.

Posted by: pippa 18th November 2019, 07:41 PM

12k she is on at Number 2 and Westlife are on 53k.
Westlife will open with at least 40k ahead soi cant see Celine outselling them in the long run in the UK unless Westlifes sales completely crumble after this week.

Posted by: JosephStyles 18th November 2019, 07:54 PM

It's a soundtrack single, that's likely why it wasn't included. Of course, some soundtrack singles end up featuring on artist albums, but it's not often really.

Posted by: mkirilenkofan 18th November 2019, 08:23 PM

Having heard Flying on My Own in the summer...i was so pumped for this album.

I literally can only listen to Flying on My Own and Courage....the rest is very much off the mark for me.

Posted by: slowdown73 18th November 2019, 11:54 PM

Westlife will not sustain that amount every week though and likely to drop off considerably next week. Celine tends to hang around with her albums and if they promote the album well, it could have some longevity.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 19th November 2019, 02:03 AM

Celine hasn't had a top 2 album since 2002 so I think she is safe as I'd be surprised if the live take that album over takes her.

Posted by: Medellíam 19th November 2019, 06:36 AM

I'll be shocked if Celine manages to outsell Westlife. As Pippa said, Westlife already have a huge lead, they're likely to have more UK based promo over the coming month and both albums are likely to drop hard after Christmas. Don't know about Westlife but Celine hasn't exactly had glowing reviews for this album either.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 19th November 2019, 01:26 PM

I cant see celine selling anything more than 100k, that's good for celine. Westlife will prob sell close to 200k unless sales completely plummet for them.

Posted by: Jay ☆ 19th November 2019, 05:58 PM

Haven't got around to hearing the album yet, but I'm pleased to see her at midweek #2! If it stays put, that'll make it her highest peaking album since A New Day Has Come from 2002, which reached #1.

Posted by: ___∆___ 19th November 2019, 06:01 PM

A good mix, ‘Flying On My Own’ is a pop dance banger

Posted by: pippa 20th November 2019, 07:46 PM

It looks as though Celine will close the week out on 21k sales.
I think this is a positive result for Celine in 2019 and also her highest charting album in 17 years.

Posted by: Bjork 20th November 2019, 07:48 PM

it's a great result, wasn't expecting much more
hope she keeps the #2 and the awful Boe/Ball don't catch her

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 21st November 2019, 12:58 AM

Il be disappointed she loses the number 2.

Posted by: pippa 22nd November 2019, 06:59 PM

Celine has broken her 17 year drought and returned to the Top 2 in the album chart officially this week.

Posted by: slowdown73 22nd November 2019, 09:49 PM

Her album sales are quite poor for a no2 at this time of year.

Posted by: Jordan Lee 22nd November 2019, 09:51 PM

Happy for her to get that #2.

But sales wise I thought she’d do more. Love Me Back To Life sold way more in week one didn’t it despite peaking lower.

Posted by: Medellíam 23rd November 2019, 03:40 AM

She actually had UK promo near release week last time though, like X Factor which saw her peak at #14 with the lead single which was really impressive considering, plus she was on Jonathan Ross. Looks like it'll be a year until she's in the UK again according to her touring schedule, fingers crossed she'll be here earlier than that.

I did think she'd do more though. Radio 2's Hyde Park was a big gig and I'm sure the album was up to pre-order at that point. Hopefully it can sell decently over Christmas and make its way past Gold at least.

Posted by: WinterFreeze 23rd November 2019, 06:16 AM

Debuted at #2 in Australia.

Posted by: Jordan Lee 23rd November 2019, 06:11 PM

I remember that X Factor slot! Round about the last year (or one of the last years) of that show where you actually got an impact from performing. I remember getting a few albums that week too. Didn’t ARTPOP block it from #1 and LM Salute album I think was released the same week too

I’m happy Celine managed a #2 debut though! I do think gold is possible as well. I’m going to give it another listen over the week as I’m at work it’ll help time pass by a bit quicker.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 23rd November 2019, 10:37 PM

I was hoping it would make 20k but hopefully it doesn't fall fast. Number 5 debut here in ireland.

Posted by: Esmerelda 23rd November 2019, 11:39 PM

I think my 3 favorite songs on this are the three bonus tracks.

Posted by: pippa 25th November 2019, 07:36 PM

Dropping back to Number 12 in the midweek information released today.

Posted by: SKOB 25th November 2019, 07:37 PM

This reached #1 in the US and doing pretty well in the UK this week too, success!!

Posted by: pippa 25th November 2019, 09:05 PM

That is her first US Number 1 since 2002 when A New Day Has Come achieved Number 1 status.

Posted by: pippa 2nd December 2019, 07:17 PM

A solid 3rd week performance for the the album with it looking to retain a Top 15 position this week.

Posted by: Jay ☆ 3rd December 2019, 07:23 AM

It's fallen from #1 in the US to outside the Top 100 in its second week The biggest fall for a #1 album in US chart history!

Posted by: tommie 3rd December 2019, 08:57 AM

Record breaking Queen.

Honestly though, with sparse streaming numbers and Christmas coming up I'm not surprised. I hope it can continue to sell in the long run. Maybe Black Friday will help it as it gets people out buying physical copies.

Posted by: Medellíam 3rd December 2019, 09:57 AM

Not that it makes it any better but Bon Jovi also dropped from #1 to outside the Top 100, although this wasn't it's second week. It dropped 1-43 initially and then re-entered at #1 a few months later as part of a "concert ticket redemption offer for the album", only to fall out the Top 100 again!

The Billboard 200 really is strange with its tour bundle thing.

Posted by: Bjork 3rd December 2019, 11:32 AM

but where did she fall exactly? cannot find the info

Posted by: pippa 3rd December 2019, 05:09 PM

Was there a promotion offer in the US on release week that boosted sales.
Such a dramatic fall from Number 1 is very unexpected.

Posted by: Crazy Chris-tmas 3rd December 2019, 05:20 PM

Wow that's unbelievable.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 3rd December 2019, 11:59 PM

Oh crap at that

Posted by: Bjork 4th December 2019, 08:40 AM

but that's the new normal in the US
no one buys CDs anymore in the US sadly, they just come free with bundles, ie concert tix bundles or t-shirt bundles

Posted by: pippa 4th December 2019, 09:25 PM

It is holding much stronger in the the UK chart.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 29th December 2019, 03:59 AM

Great to see its top 20 and gone silver and hopefully go gold in the next 2 to 3 months.

Posted by: ___∆___ 29th December 2019, 11:30 AM

Just picked it up for £4.99 in the HMV sale

Posted by: Bjork 29th December 2019, 12:51 PM

unlike the US, people in the UK still buy CDs, in the US it only went to #1 cos of the tour bundles

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 29th December 2019, 12:56 PM

Did it return to the US top 100 after it falling out from number 1?

Posted by: Bjork 29th December 2019, 01:28 PM

nope, it did 1-111-134-170

Posted by: slowdown73 29th December 2019, 01:57 PM

It’s only sold about 70k in U.K. so far though and will struggle to reach gold. I thought it would have done a lot better but there’s been zero promotion here.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 29th December 2019, 06:23 PM

She needs some uk promo as its holding up ok without any promo or hit single.

Posted by: ___∆___ 29th December 2019, 08:24 PM

This! The album has performed really well so far in the UK but she desperately needs some promo before her U.K. tour which is not until September 2020.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 29th December 2019, 11:39 PM

She usually doesn't do alot of promo so cant see that changing

Posted by: pippa 3rd January 2020, 06:42 PM

After a steady UK chart run since its release the album suffered a big tumble this week to Number 49.
With no UK promotion on the horizon it may take some time for Celine to achieve a further Gold selling album.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 4th January 2020, 12:30 PM

I didn't think she would have such a big drop this week but with other albums selling cheaper it cost her positions. Is the album still full price everywhere.

Posted by: slowdown73 4th January 2020, 05:04 PM

The deluxe was £9.99 and £4.99 for standard in my local HMV. I think it’s going to drop out of the charts due to no promotion basically.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 6th January 2020, 02:31 AM

Ya it needs something to keep it in the charts, it should eventually go gold though.

Posted by: Medellíam 6th January 2020, 02:59 AM

Loved Me Back to Life dropped from the Top 15 to outside of the Top 40 after Christmas 2013, so the drop for Courage isn't anything out of the ordinary. Hopefully there will be more Radio 2 support as I can't see Celine being in the UK to promote until the tour starts.

Posted by: tommie 6th January 2020, 09:57 AM

Honestly, ~70k so far isn't horrific for Celine. It could sell Gold in a few months which would put her on par with people like Kylie.

I just think the days of multiplatinum is over for her.

Posted by: Bjork 6th January 2020, 10:04 AM

I don't think she'll get Gold :/

Posted by: pippa 6th January 2020, 05:11 PM

30k is more than achievable for Celine to reach Gold.
Sales will pick up when she tours.

Posted by: slowdown73 6th January 2020, 07:03 PM

I doubt it to be honest. It will be too late by then. The tour isn’t till September and the album will be largely forgotten. They need a promotional strategy ASAP to avoid the momentum dropping off completely.

Posted by: isanka 7th January 2020, 06:46 AM

Yes she need something stronger.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 10th January 2020, 01:14 AM

Like in the uk the album had a good start here in ireland and in last weeks chart it dropped from number 20 to 91.

Posted by: Jay ☆ 25th January 2020, 11:49 PM

Courage UK chart run:

2-13-12-18-18-19-49-83-156-out

Last known total sales figure: 68,018

A shame to see it plummet like that.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 28th January 2020, 12:15 PM

Sadly there is nothing happening to keep it selling.

Posted by: Jay ☆ 12th March 2020, 10:11 PM

Change My Mind was playlisted by Radio 2, and spent 4 weeks on the B List, but it's removed this week. It's currently #182 on iTunes!

Posted by: slowdown73 13th March 2020, 11:35 PM

Change my mind is a lacklustre choice of single!

Posted by: Neil 10th June 2020, 05:47 PM

Tour postponed.

Posted by: JosephStyles 10th June 2020, 05:49 PM

I'm glad it's a postponement and not a cancellation!

Posted by: Simon. 28th January 2021, 06:01 PM

I imagine we are soon to hear a postpone/cancelled tour announcement? I really hope not, really got back into her this past week. Never gave the Falling into you album a listen until now, I can't stop playing. Completely passed me by she ever did an English version of Pour Que Tu M'aimes Encore.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 28th January 2021, 10:57 PM

Falling into you remains her best album for me, its strong throughout.

Posted by: -Jay- 26th May 2023, 02:41 PM

Poor Celine!

There's no cure for Stiff Persons Syndrome. The symptoms can be managed to improve quality of life, but unfortunately I've thought for a while now that the likelihood of her reaching the point of being able to perform multiple shows over a period of months was never realistic... even if the thought of this was something for Celine to strive for.

I guess we can only wait and see, hopefully it is something she'll be able to do again.



The time line:

3rd April 2019 - United States/Canada tour announced
8th/11th April 2019 - Additional United States/Canada dates announced
12th April 2019 - General Sale
18th September 2019 - Tour begins, first date in Quebec
25th September 2019 - Delayed the Montreal dates due to take place on 26/27/30 Sep + 1 Oct, because of a throat infection - these were delayed to 18/19/21/22 November 2019
26th September 2019 - Additional United States/Canada dates announced / European tour + Middle East dates announced
4th October 2019 - General Sale
8th March 2020 - Unexpected last date takes place in Newark. A couple of March 2020 dates are postponed to November 2020 due to Celine having a cold
13th March 2020 - Officially postpones remaining US/Canada dates due to Covid, without announcing new dates
10th June 2020 - The July 2020 to September 2020 dates were postponed due to Covid, pushed back to March 2021 to July 2021. Celine also announced some new dates
9th September 2020 - The previously postponed US/Canadian dates are rescheduled to August/September 2021
17th February 2021 - Some dates were again postponed due to Covid, but some remained in place. At this point, her confirmed dates of touring were: July to September 2021, and May 2022 through to September 2022
12th May 2021 - Announces new Vegas residency, which is set to start in November 2021
24th May 2021 - Postpones the July to September 2021 dates, to May 2023 to July 2023
19th October 2021 - The initially announced dates of the Vegas residency dates are cancelled, due to Celine's health - but it's referred to as being a delay
29th April 2022 - May 2022 through to September 2022 tour dates were postponed due to Celine's health, to February 2023 to October 2023
8th December 2022 - Some of the 2023 dates are delayed to March/April 2024 (but August-October 2023 remain in place) - postponements are again due to Celine's health. Some cancellations confirmed too - some European festival dates and the Middle East dates
26th May 2023 - Courage Tour cancelled

... so yeah, this has been a journey.

Im not surprised by this and i really cant see Celine touring again, if she does i think she will scale it down as she will need to really look after her health, i really hope her health improves for her.

A new day has come and 2nd Celine Dion album are my favourite albums by Celine. Falling into you is a very strong album though!
