Celine Dion Just Scored Her First No. 1 Album In Over 17 Years

2017 Billboard Music Awards - Show

The last time Celine Dion recorded a No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 albums chart was in 2002 with A New Day Has Come, but that all changed this week. The singer released her latest collection of songs, Courage, on November 15, and it debuted in Billboard's top spot after earning 113,000 equivalent album units in the week ending November 21 in the US, according to Nielsen Music.

Though it's the pop icon's first No. 1 album in over 17 years, it marks her fifth to top the charts following Falling Into You (No. 1 for three weeks in 1996), Let’s Talk About Love (No. 1 for one week in 1998), All the Way… A Decade of Song (No. 1 for three weeks total, two in 1999 and one in 2000) and A New Day Has Come (No. 1 for one week in 2002). The feat also means Dion has scored a No. 1 album in the last three decades. She's only the 13th artist, and fourth woman, to achieve this milestone and is in the company of acts like Backstreet Boys, Garth Brooks, Dave Matthews Band, Janet Jackson, Jay-Z, Metallica, Nas, Pearl Jam, Bruce Springsteen, Barbra Streisand, Britney Spears and U2.
