Celine Dion - All the Way... A Decade of Song

This might not be a popular opinion, but maybe Celine Dion is the artist of the decade?  There’s as case to be made as to why she should be considered.  She certainly sold quite a few albums. 

We started off the decade with Jive Bunny and ended up with Celine. Maybe that tells you everything you need to know about the 1990s. 

Yes, along the way there were some really “cool” bands such as Nirvana, Pearl Jam, You Am I, Powderfinger etc etc… but equally there was more than a fair share of mindless dance pop (Aqua, Blackbox) a lot of movie sound tracks and a surprising small number of hip-hop and boybands that made it to number one. 

The top three selling artists were female (Celine, Shania and Alanis) and there’s not a grunge act in the top 10.  So maybe the received wisdom about the 90s being wall to wall grunge needs a revisit…
