My Love (Essential Collection)
Celine Dion
My Love: Essential Collection is Céline Dion’s third English‑language greatest‑hits album, released in October 2008 as a more up‑to‑date, career‑spanning companion to 1999’s All The Way… A Decade of Song. Issued by Columbia/Sony while she was on the Taking Chances World Tour, it focuses on her most important English singles from the late 1980s through the 2000s and runs about 78 minutes across 17–18 tracks, depending on territory. The standard Essential Collection edition is a single disc, while a simultaneously released 2‑CD version, My Love: Ultimate Essential Collection, expands the track list to 27 (US) or 36 (Europe) songs and adds rarities and soundtrack contributions.
The core compilation honors the songs that transformed Dion’s career, including “My Heart Will Go On,” “Because You Loved Me,” “The Power of Love,” “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now,” “Where Does My Heart Beat Now,” “If You Asked Me To,” “I’m Your Angel,” “A New Day Has Come (Radio Remix),” “That’s the Way It Is,” “I Drove All Night,” “I’m Alive,” “All By Myself,” and “Tell Him” with Barbra Streisand, plus French‑language highlight “Pour que tu m’aimes encore” and other key hits in European editions such as “Think Twice” and “Immortality.” It also introduces one previously unreleased studio track, “There Comes a Time,” and features a new live version of the Linda Perry‑penned ballad “My Love,” which was promoted as the lead single and praised by Billboard for its emotive writing and vocal performance. Critically, the album was received as a strong, better‑curated overview than her earlier hits set, and commercially it was a major success—hitting number one in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Ireland, top ten in Canada, the UK, and the U.S., and earning multi‑platinum or platinum certifications across Europe, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand—cementing its status as the go‑to summary of Dion’s English‑language career.
