So I hope this answers your question about Celine becoming the best selling
female artist of the decade. Celine just doesn't have enough time or enough
album sales to beat Mariah for this title.

No, but she helps run Camp Mariah, a summer camp for inner city children. Her
Christmas special showed her singing to an inner city kids' shelter, rather
than the anonymous kids in TAST who were clearly lip-sincing LTAL.

No, but she donated the proceeds from her Hero single to the families of (I
don't remember all the details) New Yorkers killed trying to stop a subway
robber.

Yeah, that must be why the back of Mariah's I'll Be There single specifically
states portions of the single sales went to organizations like the United Negro
College Fund. Just because you're ignorant of something doesn't mean it didn't
happen.

Well, err...no arguing with that one. :-)

Likewise, Mariah fans have come into this newsgroup a few times to diss Celine.
It''s probably best to ignore it, rather than going to the other newsgroup and
creating another mess.

Who cares? Sales don't matter all that much to me, and probably a lot of other
fans. Sure, I like to see Celine sell the most, but it's not the end of the
world if she doesn't.

Yup, that's why it's sold so much already.

Like I said before, it's not gonna be the end of the world if Celine doesn't
sell the most. I don't care all that much. By the way, Celine's album sales are
not taking a steep decline. Mariah's are improving, though, and I'm happy for
her.
>So I hope this answers your question about Celine becoming the best selling

Well, I didn't ask that question, but thanks anyway. And even ifCeline doesn't
beat Mariah, she's still sold a heckuva lot of albums in her career and I'm
very happy for her. Like Celine herself said "I'm not in competition with
anybody but myself."

Well you should have looked up Mariah's track record with kids before making
your misinformed opinion, Mariah just a couple months ago went to go help lots
of adoption children find families in New York City plus she has her Camp
Mariah where she actually visits and helps kids and their future, plus she she
has the Fresh Air fund and helps VH1's save the music which helps kids, I hope
this clears things up for you.

Yes it's sold alot but it's because it's Chritmas time but after Christmas
These Are Special won't sell that much.
>By the way, Celine's album sales are
>not taking a steep decline.
Yes they are, Mariah's album sales took a steep decline from Daydream to
Butterfly but now her sales are improving again with #1's
But Celine's Christmas album will sell around 10-12 million at most, that's a
steep decline for Celine albums sales because her last album sold over 22
million
>Like Celine herself said "I'm not in competition with

Well if you believe this your pretty gullable Celine and her promoters know
she's in competition with other artists whether they admit or not.
I'm sure they wish Celine sold the most this decade and are probably still
trying to make this happen but I doubt they will.
*DreamBox7*
Why some people just like to put Mariah Carey down. What is your
problem. She may not be your idol but she is to someone else. The way
you were talking about her, show us that you don't even know Mariah. I
do not know a lot about her but I knew she owns a summer camp for teen
girls with problems. Two thumbs up for that!!!
I love Céline and I like Mariah. They have both, different
personality but that doesn't mean that one is good and one is bad. To
me, they are both very good singer but in a different way. I will
always love Céline more than Mariah but it is not a reason to "hate"
Mariah. What is wrong with you!!!
P.S. Sorry for the bad English

For a Christmas album, it has sold a lot. And Mariah's has sold a lot for a
Greatest Hits album (which is what it is, I don't care what she says).

I'd like to sell 10-12 million records! I hope I do someday - it's my dream to
be a singer. And both Celine and Mariah are two of my biggest influences.

I'm not gullible, I know Celine's promoters and management and all are
competing with the other artists and want her to sell the most. But I doubt
Celine goes into the studio thinking "OK, this will be my next album to sell
over 25 million worldwide, and this is going to be the big single that will
make it sell that much." Celine has said she just wants to sing, and I bet she
lets Rene and her people worry about the business aspect of it all. By the way,
if she cared so much about selling records and beating everyone out, she
wouldn't be taking the long break next year that she's going to. Speaking of
which, I really hope and pray that she and Rene can have that baby they want so
badly =) It would be such an awesome Christmas gift!

Ok, so Celine's in competition with other artistes. I agree. But It's how
you look at that competition that counts. A bit of competition is good for
you. It makes you work harder. But If you get obsessed with competition,
it's bad. Celine doesn't compete like there's no tomorrow. She competes at
a level that's normal and respectable. She's not obsessed at being the best
in everything. She competes naturally to do the best in all she does.
~~Merry Christmas~~

It's officially been stated #1's has already sold over 6 million worldwide, so
i don't think you're right about TAST clobbering #1's, anyway #1's has a better
potential of selling good after the Christmas time while Celine's probably will
have trouble selling past January because it's a Christmas album.

So.... Wishing everyone a happy Christmas, and good luck for '99!

PLEASE! Celine fans are always acting like Celine is perfect on this newsgroup,
SHE'S NOT!
I've seen Celine fans post Celine is a angel from heaven and how she's such a
angel, well I DON'T THINK A ANGEL WOULD TALK ABOUT TITS LIKE CELINE DID ON
MTV!!!
We were as one

MARIAH'S STANDARD DROPPING? Celine doesn't have much of standard just
releasing the same sounding ballad year after year, only changing lyrics,
Celine doesn't even write her songs like Mariah so if you think Mariah's
standard is dropping look at Celine's it's almost NON EXSISTENT!!
Celine's album sales are dropping so look for Mariah to outsell Celine in
1999.
YEAH RIGHT! #1's is outselling These Are Special Times in worldwide sales!
Do you know what the word clobbered means? I think you don't, try looking the
word up in a dictionary.
Of course they're dropping dummy boy, LTAL came out a year ago and TAST
is a christmas cd. It will peak this week and then go down the charts.
What do you expect? Are people gonna continue buying a christmas cd in
January? It is already certified 3X platinum and will probably become
THE biggest selling xmas cd.

Heheheheheehheheheeheeh....
Thats all I can say to this though...
I thought Celine was the best selling female artist of the 90's because she
sells more than Mariah now? If Mariah sells less how can she be ahead?
