Celine vs. Alicia: Who Will Come Out On Top?

2367283.jpg

The numbers are in!

Both Celine Dion and Alicia Keys released new albums this week. And while they didn't come into it with any of the Kanye/50 hype, both are expected to sell very well.

Only one will take the #1 spot, though.

No One is expected to sell about 550,000 copies, music biz peeps tell PerezHilton.com.

Meanwhile, Dion's Taking Chances, her first English-language album in four years, should sell about 250,000.

Congrats to both women.

See, people still buy CDs!

      Like Celine would care? She already made her statement, she is no longer the newbie in this music industry, and she is more than pleased to give 'newer' talents (!) a change.

      In my personal opinion, I dislike Alicia's album and think Celine took some real chances on her album, so thumbs up.

      Alicia looks like a drag Queen. She's Raul Paul on a bad day. Alicia Keys would have to be the most boring artist around. She's about as much fun as a kiss before dying.

      Alicia Keys is a very pretty girl, but she claims to be 31 or 32 years old. My brother-in-law went to high school with her in Glendale,CA and they graduated the same year.my brother-in_law has even took her to interracialsingleonline.com enjoy interracial friendship and dating.

      Celine will sell way more than that. Those end of week sales were calculated from first day - if it sells blah first day, it will sell blah by end of week. Only since those sales Celine appeared on Oprah, Ellen and the today show. Sure to accelerate her sales past 250. Also, Celine is selling well everywhere on the planet - surely she'll be the biggest album worlwide this week.

      Fuck Celine!
      She's done, and I have never heard her new single, I hater her when she sang the stupid titanic song and i never will.
      Currently, Alicia Keys' "As I Am" is #1 on i-tunes, while celine drifts in #5…
      You can't get high with Celine, sorry, but with Alicia's soulful sounds you can.

      119

      uhhh do you do any proper research? "No One" is the single, "As I Am" is the title of the CD. I bet if it was Ru Paul putting out a new album your ass would get the title right.

      All the best to both of them. I bought Celine's album yesterday and I love it, I might get Alicia's later on too!

      It's such a shame that any fool would pose such a question!!! Alicia keys sounds like shit. She shouldn't be allowed to breathe the same air that Celine does.

      That's why the bitch plays the "black" game because she knows blacks are stupid enough to buy that noise she calls singing. Alicia sounds like dogs and cats after some one simultaneous steps on their tales.

      I think Celine will go further than Alicia. This album is sensational.

      It's not even worth equating them in the same category. Celine is in a category of her own that is really untouchable. Talent like that doesn't exist anymore.

      I do see more promotion for the Keys CD by the mass media. She obviously sells to the younger buyer which in turn means more money for the Mass Media. Keys and Celine albums are released by the same company so is there a real winner? Celine has a Huge following She's the #1 selling Female artist of all time for Gods Sake. Sold out shows for 5 years in a row in Vegas 250k sounds a little low but will see, Celine did do some last minute PR this week.
