Celine Dion hardly needs an introduction, as she is one of the few artists recognized on a first-name basis. But in case you need a refresher course, which we all could use from time to time, Celine Dion is a world-renowned recording artist and multi-Grammy award winner.
Quite frankly, an entirely separate page could be dedicated to the accolades she’s amassed over decades thanks to her blend of genres like pop, rock, R&B, and classical she weaves through like a virtuoso.
Because of her immense fame, her star power eclipses the fact that she isn’t the only Dion in the family and is accompanied by 13 other siblings!

Celine Dion is the youngest Dion sibling at 54-years-old!
It’s only fitting that the best-selling Canadian recording artist and best-selling French language artist should be left last as the pièce de résistance! Celine earned her initial notoriety through her first-place triumphs at the 1982 Yamaha World Popular Song Festival and the 1988 Eurovision Song Contest.
In 2022, she’s a legend in music and has collaborated with all-time greats like Michael Jackson, Andrea Bocelli, and Barbra Streisand. Proving she has worldwide appeal outside of the French community, she became one of the best-selling music artists of all time, with over 200 million sales worldwide.
Did You Know?
For all the honors Celine has on her resume, she’s become synonymous with her song “My Heart Will Go On.” It was featured as the title track to Titanic (the third highest-grossing film of all time).
