Celine Dion brought the house down—or perhaps the Eiffel Tower down is more appropriate—during the opening ceremony that preceded the current Olympic Games, which are being held in Paris. The Canadian singer delivered a show-stopping rendition of “Hymne A L’Amour” that proved she was back, despite facing significant health issues.
Dion was the highlight of the opening evening, and videos of her first performance in years went viral. All that attention is helping the singer rise on charts all around the world, as interest in her catalog—and even a new hit—is incredibly high.
This week, Dion claims a pair of top 40 wins in the U.K. She appears inside the important region on both the songs and albums tallies, as the two titles she has on the lists are on the rise.
This time around, Dion sits highest on the U.K. albums chart. Her My Love: The Essential Collection compilation returns to the region following the Olympics performance. The greatest hits set rockets from No. 69 to No. 36 this time around.
Over on the U.K. songs ranking, Dion lands in nearly the same position. Her latest single, “Set My Heart on Fire” with Majestic and Jammin Kid, gains once again. The track makes use of old recordings by the Grammy winner, and while it’s not one of her most familiar releases, the fact that it was already charting means it’s the one that benefits the most—at least visibly.
This week, “Set My Heart on Fire” steps up just one space to No. 39. That’s a new high point for the electronic track, which is helping introduce younger audiences to Dion’s voice, and to one of her older tunes as well.
