#14"Taking Chances"Taking Chances (2007)Points: 737 Standard Deviation: 11.8 Median: 18 Average: 19.0 Range: 41 ChartsCanada: #9 | Hot 100: #54 | CHR/Pop: N/A This was the first lead single from one of Celine's primary English-language albums to not make the pop chart. It was a sign that her days as a pop radio artist were done. (Whenever I hear this now, I think about how johnm1120 would get mad in the thread for this song about how pop radio was stupid for not "taking chances" on playing Celine, lololol ). The song was co-written by Eurythmics member Dave Stewart, who intended it for his duo with Kara Dioguardi named Platinum Weird. The line "talk to me like lovers do" was an intentional nod to Sweet Dreams. While it wasn't a major hit like most of her past ones, it did perform quite well around the world, reaching the Top 10 in Italy, Switzerland, France, Denmark and Belgium. Plus it was a #6 Billboard AC hit and #1 on the Dance Club Play chart. castleoblivion26 is the first to lose his #1 :( God loses his final bottom 10. This is the last track from Taking Chances in the rankdown. castleoblivion26 1 bboat11 2 Leo β 2 Az Paynter 4 KanenrΓ‘:ke 7 JOJO SIWA DERANGEMENT SYNDROME 9 .indulgecountry 12 someguy 12 @walker9 16 kmbgs 16 johnm1120 18 toomuchboy 18 Juanca 20 Kurt 23 @antigonerising 24 bat1990 25 Devil Marlena Nylund 27 BackwoodsBarbie 29 Troublemaker 29 mamooshka 30 soulfulwings 30 Glove Slap 40 God 42

#13"I'm Alive"A New Day Has Come (2002)Points: 739 Standard Deviation: 11.5 Median: 18 Average: 18.9 Range: 41 ChartsCanada: #21 | Hot 100: N/C | CHR/Pop: N/A Ok, it may be surprising to some that within the Top 13 (including this song), the A New Day Has Come album was the most represented with 3 tracks remaining. The Queen of the Soundtrack returned to children's movies with I'm Alive, the lead single from the Stuart Little 2 soundtrack. It was slightly remixed for the soundtrack, which was also mix used for radio. It wasn't a big hit North America but as expected, it did wonders in Europe. #1 in Poland and Romania, and Top 10 Switzerland, Sweden, Scotland, Netherlands, Greece, Germany, Denmark, Belgian, Austria and #17 in the UK. It does kind of have a Europop sound to it anyway. Tbh, I'm surprised it did as well as it did in this rankdown. With @walker9 and @kmgbs among the 7 Top 10 losses for this, they join bat1990 and bboat11 as tying for the most remaining Top 10s with 8 each.

Glad my #50 didn't outlast my #2. Never got the hate "Taking Chances" received, very well crafted pop song.

#12"I Drove All Night"One Heart (2003)Points: 756 Standard Deviation: 11.9 Median: 15 Average: 18.1 Range: 39 ChartsCanada: #1 | Hot 100: #45 | CHR/Pop: #27 While Celine was no stranger to dance mixes and upbeat songs, I Drove All Night was her first attempt at releasing a dance track as the lead single from an album. While A New Day Has Come performed moderately well for her, it was clear she was on the decline as far as singles success was concern but I Drove All Night kind of gave her extra life on the pop charts - though it was short lived. I would have liked to see Celine explore this sound more but I was probably in the minority. In any case, this was her last #1 on the Canadian charts (probably because it was physical singles sales led and soon after the Canadian Hot 100 was born), and her last song to make the CHR/Pop Top 40. As expected, this also did quite well around the world. 7 people lose a Top 10 and castleoblivion26 joins the no-bottom-10 club. All songs from One Heart are now out of the rankdown. .indulgecountry 2 bat1990 2 soulfulwings 5 Az Paynter 5 someguy 6 God 7 BackwoodsBarbie 8 @walker9 11 bboat11 11 kmbgs 13 KanenrΓ‘:ke 14 Devil Marlena Nylund 15 mamooshka 19 johnm1120 21 toomuchboy 23 Juanca 27 JOJO SIWA DERANGEMENT SYNDROME 27 Kurt 28 Glove Slap 30 Leo β 30 Troublemaker 35 @antigonerising 37 castleoblivion26 41

The last reveal of the night marks probably the biggest surprise (maybe?) in the rankdown.

#11"I Surrender"A New Day Has Come (2002)Points: 770 Standard Deviation: 14.7 Median: 12 Average: 17.5 Range: 49 ChartsCanada: N/C | Hot 100: N/C | CHR/Pop: N/C When I was picking the songs to include in this rankdown, I chose to keep it to Celine's English singles because (a) they're the ones people would know enough to rank, (b) she had about 50 and I wanted to make it a Top 50 to celebrate Celine turning 50 this year. As I was closing in on 50, there were a few options remaining to fill that last spot. Those little known singles from earlier albums, or songs that were kind of, somewhat, I don't know singles from later albums that didn't really do anything so do they even count? And then there was this song. Most artists have that album track that is universally loved by their fans and I think this is the one for Celine. It's probably impressive to note that it doesn't come from either of her 90s blockbuster albums and also interesting is the list of background singers who make up the chorus at the end of the album version. I tried finding a list but couldn't but there are some actual names in there. So, I admit I kind of cheated by including this song but I really didn't expect it to do as well as it did. It got 7 Top 10 placements, including a #1 (sorry bat1990. You just lost your #1 and #2 :( ). Plus it got FOUR #11 placements and two more #12 placements. The #12 median for this song is the lowest so far and only 5 songs have a lower median. It's also the only song to have both a #1 and a #50 placement, giving it the largest range of the rankdown: 49. someguy, mamooshka, and Troublemaker all lose their last bottom 10. Az Paynter joins @antigonerising with just 2 Top 10s remaining. bat1990 1 kmbgs 2 JOJO SIWA DERANGEMENT SYNDROME 3 johnm1120 4 Az Paynter 7 BackwoodsBarbie 9 Kurt 9 .indulgecountry 11 KanenrΓ‘:ke 11 toomuchboy 11 Juanca 11 bboat11 12 Devil Marlena Nylund 12 Leo β 15 soulfulwings 16 castleoblivion26 17 God 21 @walker9 21 @antigonerising 30 Glove Slap 34 someguy 48 mamooshka 48 Troublemaker 50

Guessing for what won't make the top ten: "Taking Chances" "Beauty and the Beast" "If You Asked Me To" "I Surrender" "I Drove All Night" 4/5 β not too bad! Surprised "If You Asked Me To" is still in.

Ugh, what a rough set of reveals. All 5 of those songs are among my favorite songs of her's. Brutal to see any of them go, especially "I Drove All Night," but I'm honestly surprised it even made it this far.

I remember being so excited about I Drove All Night. I was kind of tired of Celine at that point but that song gave me so much life!

The 'One Heart' album is underrated and I wish would've been able to get a single into the top 10. :(
10. To Love You More 09. Where Does My Heart Beat Now 08. If You Asked Me To 07. A New Day Has Come 06. It's All Coming Back To Me Now 05. The Power Of Love 04. My Heart Will Go On 03. All By Myself 02. Because You Loved Me 01. That's The Way It Is
I guess lol So hard to predict this one.

So, I'd say I'm doing pretty well overall despite losing a bunch of my faves in the last set. I'd be honestly happy with any of these winning, save for my #38.

Mary Griffin originally recorded "I Surrender" before Celine did. She also did backup vocals on Celine's version. The album was released after Celine's album.

"A New Day Has Come" and "I Drove All Night" are the only 2 in the top 15 I don't absolutely love. So it doesn't really matter what wins for me. :)

"Taking Chances" should have at least made the Top 10! Have loved that song since the first time I heard it, was easily my #1 and I don't regret putting it there at all!

I would would also like to point out that regardless of where they were hits at, this is more or less the correct top 10!

15. Beauty And the Beast (14): She sounds lovely here, and her voice complements Peabo's perfectly.
14. Taking Chances (20): This should've been at least a Pop top 40 song. I liked the rockier sound of this --and the nod to Sweet Dreams :)
13. I'm Alive (12): I LOVE this song. It has been part of a CD/playlist that I've used in tough times. I really like the beat, the lyrics, and that final chorus with the key change.
12. I Drove All Night (27): I don't dislike this song, but I was a big fan of both Roy Orbison's and Cyndi Lauper's versions. I liked that Celine's took the dance route here... I wasn't a big fan of the type of dance beat that was chosen, though...
11. I Surrender (11): I heard this first at an American Idol audition, and then looked it up and loved it. It's one of Celine's best vocal performances IMO, and the melody and instrumentation work really well with the lyrics. Wish it had made the top 10.
I have left: 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, 13, 15, 19, 32 So I do hope that my latter two leave pretty soon.
