All The Way... A Decade Of Song
Celine Dion
All The Way… A Decade of Song is Céline Dion’s first English‑language greatest‑hits compilation, released in November 1999 as a celebration of her extraordinary commercial success throughout the 1990s. Conceived as a hybrid “best of” and new‑material project, it combines nine of her biggest previously released hits with seven newly recorded songs, running about 70 minutes across 15–16 tracks depending on edition. The album spans recordings from 1990’s Unison through the late‑90s peak of Falling into You and Let’s Talk About Love, and was timed to coincide with her temporary step back from the spotlight in early 2000, effectively serving as a capstone for that decade.
The hits portion includes “The Power of Love,” “If You Asked Me To,” “Beauty and the Beast,” “Because You Loved Me,” “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now,” “Love Can Move Mountains,” “To Love You More,” “My Heart Will Go On,” and “I’m Your Angel,” presenting a concise tour of the songs that made Dion a global superstar. The new tracks extend that narrative: “That’s the Way It Is,” a Max Martin/Kristian Lundin mid‑tempo pop anthem, became a major late‑90s hit; “If Walls Could Talk” (produced by Robert John “Mutt” Lange with backing vocals from Shania Twain), “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face,” “Then You Look at Me,” and “I Want You to Need Me” add fresh ballads and movie themes; and “All the Way” is a lush tribute/virtual duet with Frank Sinatra, while “Live (for the One I Love)” adapts “Vivre” from the musical Notre Dame de Paris into English. Critically, the compilation was praised for its strong song selection and high‑gloss sound, and it became one of the best‑selling albums of Dion’s career, topping charts worldwide and reinforcing her status as the defining power‑ballad singer of the era.
